hollister

Visiting a Hollister store for the first time in Vancouver, BC. Not my idea, but great people-watching nonetheless.

Austin

I am deep in the heart of Texas this week; I think in a former life, I was a socialite who lived in a hotel.

lemonade

a perfect day for a lemonade stand. or bananafish. or a frozen banana stand.

shop

 
 bus or dress shop? you be the judge.

Morning

girl in bed. cat in window.

three

a polyester dress, a hand-me-down, and a bikini -- three things i wore this week.

salvia

my favorite time of day and one of my favorite backyard plants (russian sage).

pool

evenings at the pool are sublime.

morning

early morning remains my favorite time of day. catching window washers on n. michigan avenue at 7.30 today sealed that affection.

better

A little rest, a lot of fluids and a new hair cut can do a world of good.

busker

I can't believe this is the first time I've been to the farmer's market at the MCA this year. In years past, I was a regular.

path

Words of wisdom from a friend this week, "Your path is there - it may be hidden and it may be scary but it's there."

twenty toes

As a summer treat, I took e. for her first "real" pedicure at age 12.  I had my first pedicure when I was 32!

schedule

I drove to Philo with e. today to drop off the kids at camp cheesecake with their grandma for the rest of the week. I wish I could stay, too.

holiday

apple pie, tie dye, and the 4th of July.

flowerchild

it is a lovely night for a walk, he said.

guitar

Sometimes, a little self-reflection is necessary.
