Hi Michelle and Joey!

Great stories! I have been wanting to get my Italian citizenship for awhile. Was it 10 years difficult? Or as you said fits and starts? On your part or the red tape you had to go through?

Where did you begin?

Any light you could shed on this would be appreciated!

We will and have tried a few times to ring the bell, but you were probably in Italy! I'm on crutches at the moment so when I'm back in my sneakers we will definitely knock!

Love reading your stories Michele. My grandfather was captain of a canal boat at the age of 12. He is mentioned in several books about the Morris and Delaware canals. No doubt he had many stops at your place many years ago. He became a brakeman on the Railroad when canals became obsolete and lived the rest of his life on Warren St in Phillisburg. I too love all of the history that surrounds us.

I loved reading your story and congratulations on your Italian citizenship! Michele, Pete and I pass your home on our canal walks and have wondered about the construction. You and Jay have done an incredible job....what a beautiful setting! I love reading your newsletter, it brings me back to our favorite trips to Italy. Perhaps the Spring will bring a visit together in NH.......Miss you! XO Christina

I love reading your news letter. It always take me back to the motherland in my mind. I can almost taste the food and smell the air as I am reading.
