Oh Italy! + New Award & Blog Troubles

Bongiorno! I've returned from my fabulous trip to Italy, & yes...it was fabulous indeed! The food, the sights, the company, the shopping, the bargaining, the wine! I have so much to post, but the Italian Riviera will have to wait until tomorrow...  It's late & I haven't loaded any of my photos to the laptop yet.  Plus, I have a few other things to share today!

On another note, have any of you Firefox users been having trouble commenting on Blogger blogs?  Well, I have.  Last week, all of a sudden, any blog with an embedded contact form {the one where a new window doesn't pop up when you click "Leave A Comment"} is causing my problems!  I've done a lot of searching around to find a fix for this & all I seem to find is this: blog owners should switch from embedded comment forms to pop-up window comment forms in order to ensure that everyone can leave a comment.  Hmm, I'm hoping that this problem goes away on its own, but I wanted to see if anyone is having this same problem.  And to those of you whose blog I usually comment on, I'm sorry I haven't been heard from lately!  It's not that I'm not reading your posts ♥

And so, now that I am back in the Mother Land, I must leave behind my "arrivederci" & take back my lovely Bavarian "tschuss"!  Until tomorrow, when I will tell you all about my Italian trip!
