Tea and Conversation 21: Italy

Today I’m sharing a picture of “biscottea” by stephsus I posted on my tea pin board.

Today in my meditation I’m thinking about Full Moon and I’m writing about: Why Italy?

I have never been to Italy, but I’d love to visit one day. I have friends and family who’ve been, even my husband has been at least twice before we started dating. The main reason, however, that I write about Italy in It’s Like the Full Moon, is because of the movies that helped inspire the story. Two of the three movies that inspired the plot of It’s Like the Full Moon are connected to Italy in some capacity.

There are many places that are known for romance if you go at the right time. Paris, New York, Las Vegas, The British Isles, and more, but it seems the whole country of Italy is connected to romance. Of course, I’m exaggerating and embellishing a bit, but you get the idea. You don’t typically have to mention a specific city or town in Italy for people feel romantic at the mention of a trip there. Some places you go to for adventure, some places are for site seeing, and some places are for good food, but Italy is all that and more all wrapped up in romance…At least it is in my head.

It’s Like the Full Moon- chapter 7.2 (wip)

“It’s actually a funny story,” she said as Rebecca helped her sit up. “When Rebecca was born, Lucy fell in love with her. She treated her like a doll and spoiled her rotten. Any chance she could get, she’d sneak up to Rebecca’s ear and repeat Aunty Lucy over and over,” said Ms. Rapture with a tearful smile on her face. “It drove George Tinsdale mad, which only made the whole thing funnier. It became a competition between the two of them to see which name Rebecca would call out first.

In spite of their best efforts, Rebecca’s first words were mama and booboo,” said Ms. Rapture looking over her at daughter. “Booboo was her favorite toy at the time, but the completion wasn’t over between George and Lucy.
