TRUE BLUE

taking my time to get through the most recent T magazine, 

this tiny nod to redheads reminded me of our visit with my 

most favorite redhead and amazing friend while in Portland last month. 

We stopped by her gallery, Fourteen30 Contemporary, you should too.

OLD HAUNT

JAMAICA II

snuck away to Negril, Jamaica 

My parents have been in the Peace Corp for 4 years now, first they were in China for 3 years and now Jamaica for the last year. What a treat to get to visit with them in the warm sun and surf. They arranged our whole trip, great to have insiders. We stayed off the beaten path at a friendly little hotel with our own kitchen (totally essential for traveling with littles) and a very shallow pool. We had such lovely visit, good food, wonderful company and a welcomed break from home.
