I’m headed to Martha’s Vineyard for a week, where I will walk a lot, hang out in the backyard and watch for shooting stars at night. I won’t be posting while I am away, but I’ll be trying some new recipes to share with you soon.
Have a good week and stay safe.
I’m including a lot of links this week, to get you through next week when I won’t have a weekend post. While I’m away, I recommend watching the Haim sisters video and dancing around your living room. We all need a little exercise, right?
