Still loving the blog! My latest favorite was the review on the Hungarian flavors in McD!! I would love to see more photos of Barnsie as lately I kind of feel that he was a bit neglected in the posts.:O))))
Have a lovely day !

PS:I only know A Good Man Is Hard to Find and Other Stories from Flanner. I think I will read the stories again very soon :O).

Even though I do adore the Hungarian lits., nothing will replace the Southern Gothic! In ten years, nothing has held quite as much capture over me as Flanner O’Connor.

I will pass along your message to Barnsie. Though he only understands English these days, I do think his mood is entirely Magyar!

I am so looking forward to those translations.I always respected people who are good in that. I find it such a precious delicate art.I have to say that I love my Hungarians but also love Southern Gothics. I fell in love with To Kill a Mockingbird two weeks ago, again. I wish I could hear the southern accent better in my head.I love learning all kinds of accents but somehow it is really hard to get this one right.

Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting! Florence was amazing. I think I’m still processing everything that we saw and did in just a few days. It was my second time in the cities, but first time as an adult, and I have to say that it gets better with age!

We took an private guided tour that focused on art and architecture and it was fantastic to learn about Michaelangelo, the David, and so many more of the artistic details. What a fantastically rich city in every way!

Cheers :)

We just got back from Florence, Siena and San Gimignano. Words can’t describe the beauty. and we certainly loved the David.

I’m sure Jessica will have more pics up next week there are so many. Much more later

Had lunch with Susan Kirksey today and was updated on the Jewell’s. The pics are beautiful.
Looks like everyone is having a lot of fun.
Make sure your mom vists the David statue in Florence.
She’ll like him.

I hope Barnsie will not ” belezoldul” in his state of spoiled. I rather have him in the duck suit and that speck of sarcasm in his eyes. Very Hungarian.

I read whatever I can find in English, and as many English-translation of Hungarian I can find. I absolutely adore Szabó Magda. THE DOOR was magnificent and dark and absolutely enthralling. I just wish there were more translators of Hungarian writers into English. :) So– I have to do a little work!

I gave Barnsie a HUGE leprechaun kiss. He is now spoiled in all areas :)

Cheers :)

That is so nice to hear. I’m really excited any time I learn someone is learning Hungarian as it is so rear.
I hope you are getting on well with that project. Sending you all my positive thoughts to remember the right suffixes :O).
Especially for the sake of Hungarian poetry and fiction :O))).While I was reading your introduction
I couldn’t help but wonder if an American poet reads poetry herself?
Please give my best wishes and a big leprechaun kiss to Barni.

Viri
