Mandatory Vacation Starts Right Now!

June 19th, 2008 • Related • Filed Under

We were going to spend next week in Playa but have come to our senses to monitor expenses (apparently I rhyme in my off time) and instead I am going to putter around the house sewing new outfits for Olivia, taking the occasional dip in the Gulf and heading into Merida for some cultcha. Hard telling not knowing whether I will be more or less inclined to keep up once I am liberated from this hateful machine. Must run, as I’m late for tea with Mr. Centrifigus and Paddington Bear. Audi5.

    That’s pretty much what I’m going to do…drive up to Ojai, see if that open air book store is still there, sit on the beach, work on my tan…maybe the Ventura streets hold something I’ve missed? Wish you were here, Jilly, to share!
