Somehow these last days of summer seem like little gems that have to be enjoyed from beginning to end…and this one was no exception…luncheon with friends on their terrace… with a nearby calming water feature… everything delicious…the house looking beautiful… but really it’s the view that is so wonderful… and the company…thanks friends.

Catching Up…
Summer. Got to try to live in the moment, so the narrative suffers. Here’s a digested version of what’s been happening in the far west: The beach. A week. So hot in the valley most all the beach views are misty and cool… and the sunsets were, well, muted, let’s just say… There was outside […]
