Updates from Jersey

This summer, so far, has been interesting. In May Francesca graduated from college, she came home for a few weeks and at the moment is working in Alaska, building trails. She'll be back home on the 12th of August only to leave on the 14th of August for the Bahamas, where she'll be working as a teacher at the "Island School". She'll be there until December. If both sides like each other than she may get a yearly contract.
As for Gabie, she finished her year at Simmons in Boston but has transferred to Utah State Univ. in Logan where she'll be studying environmental sciences. At the moment Gabie is in upstate NY, working at Floodwood, a boys scout camp. She'll be back on the 16th of August and will leave on the 18th for Utah. Actually Gabie, Samantha and I will drive Gabie's car to Utah, stopping in Nauvoo first! Can't wait for the road trip!!! Samantha and I will fly back on the 1st of Sept (I think... not sure).

In June Samantha graduated from 8th grade (Junior high) and come September she will be attending the same high school her sister went to (Immaculate Heart Academy...... !). She is at the moment trying to read 3 books and make 3 reports to be ready for the new school year at IHA. We hope she'll be ready before going to Utah!!!
As for Carolina..... I'm spending my summer trying to deal with plumbers, electricians and working in my garden. Back in May they called me to be the Primary President at my Ward........ that keeps me busy tool!!!!! There's never a dull moment around here!!
I'm almost finished bringing nonna's things from Bloomfield to my garage. This past weekend (July 30 & 31) I had a garage sale to sell some things. It went ok (too painful for me and didn't have it on Saturday). However, in looking amongst nonna's things I found a small box full of pictures. I'll bring it to Utah to spend family time going through them. Gianni could use some of them for his blog too.

Love, Aunt Carolina
