we've just returned from los angeles where we spent a fun filled long weekend including a lovely wedding open house hosted by andrew's parents. we spent the first couple of days with paul's brother and his family in bakersfield. i knew i was in california when i found myself sitting in the pool snacking on a bunch of freshly picked grapes. this is the life, mmmmmm! i love when my kids are able to spend fun times with cousins.

ReplyDeleteShopping in L.A. A girl's dream come true!
DeleteWell, GAbi has just wowed me as well! And freshly picked grapes in the pool. And seeing my oh so handsome sons together.
ReplyDeleteThanks Janet for keeping us all connected with happy family events. The reception looks charming. The brilliant colours of the fruit offset by the simple blue and white checks. Your turn to be a spectator and admire everyone else's efforts.
Fran and Gabi together always takes my breath away. Remember them at Julia's wedding, with Jenny. A lovely trio.
Your birthday on the water looks like the best kind of summer birthday celebration. Love to the grandchildren and Paul.
Thanks Mervyl. It was such a fun and full weekend. I have loved spending this summer with family here, there and everywhere! The best.
