A very short post, right before heading out to move more stuff to the new place! I just want to say "hi" to Kelly and Maroun, who are on the other side of the country reading my blog! You both are wonderful and I am so fortunate to have your friendship. Kel, have a safe trip back to gorgeous, sunny, Southern California. Maroun, have a good week and safe travels; thank you for putting up with me all these years! You have the patience of a saint. Lastly, this a shot of a place that is always inviting to me, as well as others, my dear friend, Carol's, patio. Making art, drinking a cold, iced drink, and hanging out with friends. What more could anyone want?!
