I know. You do not usually see people in my post photos. Meet my sister, Jen, who as you can tell, is a hoot! A week ago today (mid summer holiday for me) our family spent a whole fabulous, lazy day at the beach. The umbrella in this picture was covering my poor...

As I sit in my warm, sunny apartment on my first official day of holidays, I’m aware of the arbiters of hot weather (also known as cicadas) lilting outside my window. A perfect day to recount another perfect day. On Sunday, I continued my magical mystery tour...
