I am Wendy.  I have a husband. I have a son, and grandchildren, I am 54. I like Italian food. I like autobiographies. I plan on visiting New York with my family soon.
My name is Maria. I got married when I was young. I have three kids. I was born in Italy. I run an Italian restaurant in New York. I work at a venue that plays live music. I work every day the restaurant is open. I can speak Italian. My restaurant's name is Maria's Italian Bistro. I have three children. Two of my children work ay my restaurant and the other is in college. My children speak Italian. I was born in Venice. I like to read romance, mystery, and drama books as a hobby. I enjoy taking the ferry. I like the Statue of Liberty. I enjoy being on the water.
Have you finalised the acts you'll have on stage the day I'm visiting? Hope you can come by while I am at the restaurant to see the finished acts/ Of course I will. Are you feeling optimistic about it? So glad we can meet in person after being like pen pals all these years! You will be amazed at the food we serve. Last night I had cavetti with pesto it was so warm and tasty. I am so excited! And it shows how much I know. I don't even know what cavetti is! haha Pasta comes in a millions sizes and shapes I like the smaller ones, but you might enjoy the longer noodles. Do you know which month you will be in town? We are actually coming next month. I am not going to lie to you. I am a little intimidated by all the things we can do in New York. Yes, it is quite a vibrant city. The double-decker tours can give you an overview when you arrive, then you can pick out a few spots for a deeper immersion.  I bet you know the place like the back of your hand. Is it fun living in New York or is it as stressful as TV makes it seem sometimes? Some folks do live out on Manhattan, but those of us who work there oven live in the quieter neighborhoods. I do enjoy showing off the tourist attractions to guests, but at home I like a more homey area for family life. I bet you get tired of people asking you what they can do there huh? I apologize if I annoyed you with that No need to apologize, I am proud of the city. Working that evening shift means I can enjoy the buzz of town and still relax with other friends before heading into town on the train..
