April 10th saw us getting together with our cousins, Dennis, Carol, and Matt AKA Kenny. Kenny is my late Aunt Marie's son, who I hadn't seen in many years. He changed his name to Matt Ravenhouk and prefers to be called Matt, although he's always been cousin Kenny to me. He has a website, www.rawguts.com and he lives in Oregon.
Dennis is my late Uncle George's oldest son and he and Carol have been married for over 40 years. They recently retired and moved to Northern California. They have a home on a lake and are living the good life "La Dolce Vita"!
It was such a nice afternoon visiting with all of them and I put them on the phone with my father and our Aunt Veronica. Cousin Marla was unavailable to talk on the phone, but we had talked with her recently and she lives in Tampa, Florida. She's the first cousin to show real interest in coming to Italy to visit us in Tuscany, so I hope she comes out for a visit soon!
