The Turtle is one of my grandma’s favorite animals … she has little turtle figurines all over her house.  Her birthday is coming up in a couple of days, here is an early present for her!

The Turtle

Ogden Nash

The turtle lives ‘twixt plated decks
Which practically conceal its sex.
I think it clever of the turtle
In such a fix to be so fertile.

When Kevin and I were in Tuscany drinking wine, the Florentines made a HUGE deal about the fact that the Etruscans taught the Romans how to build wine. These were the people that originally founded the region. They were conquered by the Romans.

Here is some information on Etruscans from Wikipieda

Ancient Web.org has great information on Ancient Rome and the Etruscans.
