I’m looking forward to visits with friends over the long weekend and a little more time playing Pro Kadima at the beach.
Have a great holiday weekend!
Our friends Rita and John have been on Martha’s Vineyard for their annual vacation and seeing them reminds me of how great traditions are. We’ve been vacationing together on the island since our children were babies. The kids are grown and off living their own lives, but their parents still look forward to spending time at the beach and catching up over home cooked meals.
We are still pretty isolated because of Covid and it is nice to spend time with a few close friends.
Here’s what I have to share this weekend.
