Stuff For This Week - Happy Fourth of July!



Since many of us are going to be "summer vacating"

(via confetti garden)

this week.  Distracted, at least by barbecues and long lazy weekend


and maybe long hot drives in the car to go with..........

I thought I'd just post some cool easy images.  To pass the time.

Are you taking any good books with you?  For the road or the beach?

I just read "Climbing the Mango Trees" by Madhur Jaffrey - a fascinating memoir of pre-partition life in Delhi and now it's "A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius" by Dave Eggers - cuz somehow I think it's going to tell me more about Berkeley.

For those of you stay-cationing, obviously books are still your friends!  As are kiddie pools and Pimms Cups (why not?)

Have a great WEEK and WEEKEND - wherever you are.  I'll see you next Monday.  xoxo

  2. C'est bientôt le départ pour moi - long air plane ride - mais j'ai encore plein de choses à faire. I wouldn't mind envelopes like that; shouldn't we doodle on our envelopes? How's that for a schizophrenic comment?

  6. thxs for your best wishes. weeks and weekends have been pretty cool, albeit not on summer leave yet. the weather helps.
    am not reading at all, just doesn't happen. so many hours to a day, not apt enough to use my eyes on pages of words...
    i guess i need september first, but that could be a lie.
