So........beware.......of "The Basket Lady" who says she is on The Welcoming Committee.
This is how Italians handle these "welcome wagon folks". You answer the door and say, I'm glad you stopped by because now I can show you how Italians welcome people like yourself. Just step outside with me for a minute as I have to back my car out of the garage.(Leave the driver side door open and open the trunk). You then say, " Lady, get in the trunk". For some reason they leave right away!
