I?m back in California, rested and refreshed. Yesterday we celebrated my son?s high school graduation and today it?s a barbeque with all of our neighbors. This week will be slow since we?re caretakers for my niece and nephew while their mom is on retreat. I?m trying to remember how I kept littles busy during the summer at that age, I remember it was a challenge to get them away from screens and into the sunshine, wish me luck!
I started watching Palm Royale on AppleTV, the plot has some holes in it but I can?t stop watching just for the interiors and fashion, it?s so good, all that color and pattern from that late 1960s Palm Beach is fantastic, don?t you agree" Favorite links:
