Date night in the city . . . I forgot what it feels like to blow-dry my hair! Have a great Saturday evening, everyone!
Say hi to Daisy, the chocolate lab who adopted my brother’s family. We enjoyed romping around with her this past weekend, as well as catching up with Patrick, Debbie and the kids. Also got to see my dad twice. Big thanks to my sister for putting us up and chauffeuring us about. A quick trip but a good one; my heart is full!
We’re officially in the dog days of summer! My recommendation is to gather your furry friends in a cool spot (poolside sounds about right!) and pour a lovely Cab Franc for the humans. Romeo approves!
Good night moon! After a rainy day, we were treated to a dramatic moonrise. Our last night in the Hamptons, after a really nice family visit. Til the next time . . .
Mash-up of dining excursions in Southampton: seaside views, eye-catching artwork, and delish dishes. Oh, and a good time had by all!
What’s good on a stormy Monday night? Lemon herb chicken, lemon potatoes, salad, and crisp #cheninblanc from @dracaenawines !
