Evening walks. The days are getting longer and the wind warmer. I kinda like going it alone, but often one or both of my boys will want to come along and that's good too.
My brother and sister-in-law met Lils in Madrid last weekend. She soaked up the family time and some first class travel. And even though it was raining, they were smiling in all their pix. Thankfully, Barcelona was perfectly sunny for their stay in what is Lil's city now. This weekend they are in Paris and Lily is in Florence visiting her oldest friend.

Countdown is on. I'm still living vicariously, but not for much longer.
Lily and Grace in Florence and friends who knew you when. The girlies were besties in K4, and then went to different schools in K5. While they stayed in touch, they really reconnected in high school.
Two girls. One steak.
Two dates with my guy last weekend. Dinner out Saturday and then a little happy hour after sitting Shiva for my friend's dear father...my friend who I've known and loved since 7th grade. Yea, one of those.
Vionics. I finally found the perfect pair (or 6) for traveling: cute and comfortable. I got them on sale, but I still cannot justify keeping them all and I certainly can't bring them. It's a good problem to have.
February girl's birthday brunch. We haven't hosted since Christmas. I didn't realize how much I missed i until I was in it. Planning, cooking, decorating was a lot of fun. My Croquet Madams were deliciously decadent, but the birthday cake I made for my girls was the star. I'd forgotten the perfection that is this Strawberries and Cream Cake. It's so good that I'm making another one this weekend.
Setting the table pretty.
Using the good china and crystal.
Fresh flowers.
Men who can cook...Mike's deviled eggs. Everyone loves them. Most of all me especially when garnished with potato chips. OMG!
Baking. Whether I'm celebrating or comforting, it's the way I show I care. When I bake you a cake, I'm giving you a hug. I was happy to give a couple hugs this week.
