Cheryl started a blog back in the early days that was intended to give her own personal view of life in Tuscany—insider commentary on the events of every day. It turned out to be quite entertaining for us, and ultimately became part of that early process of documenting our adventure. Some 20 years later, we decided to combine our efforts into the new site which was where everything in our nearly three-decade adventure would eventually reside—called “Uncommon Promise,” or “UP” for short—where you are today.

The blog is still available as part of our history together and is called “The UP Side Lowdown” which you probably found in the UP site menu. You will also find the posts linked to other related Musical Stories throughout our UP Site so you may find them in a variety of ways. We hope you enjoy reading along as much as we enjoyed living it, and writing about it.

Happy Adventures,

Cheryl and Emerson
