Penguino (pen GWEEN oh)

When Enzo gave us the bad news, Peter immediately started looking for a new Penguino! I can depend on him to make our house very comfortable in all weather because he gets VERY uncomfortable when the temperatures are extreme either way. So, this morning, Peter went to price the Penguini at Bosso in downtown Bra, across the parking lot from Piazza Roma. When he returned home, he went straight to Enzo’s house to talk to him about the products he saw. After a high level conversation, the two of them took Enzo’s larger car to Trony at the BigStore and came home with a Penguino that not only cools but dehumidifies, too! Hooray!

In the meantime, Lisa and her daughter Alizia walked with me to their new house, which now has wood flooring. It is so much fun to keep up with the progress of their new house. Soon, the workers are to start on the kitchen! Everything else is very nice, but the kitchen sounds like it will be MAGNIFICENT! It will be a benefit to all of us,, if I know Enzo. He loves to cook as much as Peter does.

Monica, guess where Peter took me when he was desperate to take a break from writing his critical analysis paper for his class?   You guessed it! Caffe Vittorio…and of course, I got a scrumptious affogato, which Peter “helped” me devour. I told Katya that you were an affogato snob because of them. She laughed.

Buona giornata!
