Back to beautiful beaches, cappucino's, gelato and crispy clothes...

Lake San Antonio, CA
Is this really the 2012-13 season already?  You bet!  We are back in Sassari (our favorite place) on the same team and in the same apartment.  It honestly feels like we never left...ha!

The team is very similar to last season with a few new teammates...but luckily for me, the Diener wives and babies are back :)  They sure make the season more fun and I just love being around their
 kiddos all the time!

This summer was one that going into it we thought we had less weddings (only about 5 compared to our 10 last summer), less commitments, and maybe even more time to just relax and hang out.  Boy were we wrong...it flew by just the same, maybe even FASTER.  So here we are back in a flash with what are already memories of a super summer in Seattle.

Since I don't blog at all in the summer I should probably do a picture run down of things that went on...so here it goes:  SUMMER 2012...Binetti style!

Gwenny's softball game!


The Cove girls...Memorial Day

Nonni's 80th Birthday Party at a mystery dinner house.

Last but not least...I got a new ride!
Sad to leave it behind...already miss driving it! :)


It was such a great summer, and always hard to say good bye and pack our lives in 2 suitcases and move back to Italy.  Like I mentioned before at least we are back here in a place that God has created to be so beautiful and we intend to soak it up.

However, there are a few little things I will be missing...soft clothes (no dryer here), Starbucks, Doritios, sour candy, drive thru's (or any fast food), Nordstrom, my car, the lake, work BUT mostly

FAMILY AND FRIENDS!!  

Ciao tutti!
