How simple and frugal a thing is happiness: a glass of wine…and a nice conversation (with very simple and genuine persons)
My neighbour, Ernesto…and his friend….I call him “Zorba”…Who knows why…
“How simple and frugal a thing is happiness: a glass of wine, a roast chestnut, a wretched little brazier, the sound of the sea
. . . . All that is required to feel that here and now is happiness is a simple, frugal heart.”…

So truly ‘rustic’, authentic and wholesome. I love the relaxed and honest atmosphere here. My parents are like this… friends become family, there will always be wine and the pot can always be stretched… I feel truly blessed and inspired looking at this. Such a simple but significant truth. Thank you Kind Lady.
I thank you for appreciating. Ernesto is the authentic wise person…His presence itself is very authentic, too…And you should hear him talking about Food!! He makes incredible connexions between food…and LOVE!
I love “Zorba’s” (or is Ernesto’s) face which is etched with his character.
If he gets you around he starts talking….and he talks FOR HOURS! His rural idylls are simply…amazing…!
But it doesn’t matter…the dog is very patient, as you see….
Lovely neighbours you have got, Luana. I like them both, man and dog!! 🙂
Big hug
Dina
The pics I was telling you..::) The dog is his shadow…always with him…if Ernesto takes the car, the dog starts crying…
Maybe I’ll have a glass of wine with them tomorrow if the weather helps…His wife prepares wonderful dishes…
🙂
Wish you a very nice evening!
Hugs, Luana & Jr

Buongiorno cara!…L’ultima volta mi raccontava come ha imparato a tirare la sfoglia…un vero spasso sentirlo…
Bacio & Buon weekend
Exquisite!
Thank you very much, Sheri….How are you??
Indeed, happiness is so simple and everywhere around us. We only have to see and pick it. Happy day! 🙂
Thank you very much…wish you a wonderful evening and a nice week ahead…
