Happy 4th my friends! A pretty quiet day today…Tom, Valerie, Allegra, and Cameron went home this morning. We really miss them, it was a very special, blast of a weekend. A good hang, as Tom would say, definitely a good hang. Stace and the Coopster were here for the afternoon. Of course Coop is growing…

Group lunch at Big Bowl today – mighty tasty. From there, John and Tom took the kids to play frisbee golf, while the lovely Valerie and I did a little shopping…little Pottery Barn here, little Anthropologie there, little damage to the ol’ pocketbook. (Good thing Alfred’s was closed for the holiday weekend…damn, how I lurve…

Feliz Cumpleanos Kimmy! More of the same, I have to say. Family fun in the sun. And it really stands out to me, it means alot, because there have been some seriously melancholy 4th of July weekends in my life. So to have Tom, Val, and the kids here, and today Stacey and Cooper, I’m…

Busy day of swimming, playing, cooking, eating, traveling (for Valerie). Thought we were going to lose our sun for a while there, but then it came back, and a gorgeous late afternoon has morphed into a beautiful evening. We’ll hope for more of the same tomorrow… OK, time to round up the kids and think…

A little chipmunk tartare, that’s what I believe this huge raptor (hawk? falcon?) chilling on our deck this morning had a hankering for. WOW. He (or she) was very carefully looking under the table, around the herb pots, perhaps hoping for a bit of tarragon as seasoning? I’ve often seen the birds circling overhead, but…

Very quiet, low-key day. Not feeling top-notch, I must say, it’s a, well, hormonal-type thing. ‘Nough said. But definitely knocked me down for the day, damn. Good pick-me-up in the form of…Feminine Hinjinx, at Suz’s house, back to our normal routine. Woo hoo! Laughter is the best medicine, for whatever ails you, without a doubt….

We had a visit from Beth Martinez and her adorable daughters Gabrielle and Sydney today. Beth was my neighbor and walking partner for years, and it was great to catch up with her. Man, we were so good about walking (because Beth is really disciplined), we walked 5 miles several mornings per week, at insanely…

Happy Birthday Etta! My sister Etta is 22 today, celebrating not in NYC but in Buenos Aires. I’m not sure what her specific party plans are, but I know she’ll be eating very well! She’s staying for five weeks with friends of her aunt Anne, the Deane family, and they are caterers! How seriously perfect!…

A sweaty, dirty morning, and I loved it. I weeded parts of the yard and then planted several planters of white flowers, as well as a few more pots of lettuces and herbs. Whew! I truly need my daily shower, ha. Nathan took one look at my dirt-encrusted hands and said, you are NOT making…

I talked Nathan into letting me make him pancakes for breakfast…I can’t believe a son of mine, or Carter’s (we’re both famous pancake eaters), doesn’t like pancakes, but there it is. He indulged me if I agreed to also make bacon – deal! So I made Susanna’s sister-in-law Anne’s Orange Yogurt Pancakes. I’ve had a…
