Santa Barbara Court House and Los Padres in the background.
Happy Friday! I hope you all have an amazing weekend. I’m leaving you with a photo of what I consider “home”. It’s been awhile since I’ve been back, but it doesn’t take much to transport me there in spirit! Like the realization that traditionally we’d be packing our bags this week and heading south with the sun. However, our annual trek home has been put on hold for yet another year. Blame the economy. I do. Instead, I’ll be living on memories and making the most of it— deep cleaning my house, prepping for dinner guests, and maybe even dining al fresco on the porch.
See you on Monday!
Well, staycations are nice too (and I find they get the house cleaned much more than when I’m away…) I hope you’ll be able to return home soon though…

Staycations are ok… but years of them gets a bit tiring. Of course, I don’t vacation like most people… seeing sights and running around. I tend to just hang out and BE home. And then IZ drags me to Disneyland for 3 days to wear out my zen. Ha! ~W
Wow. I want to live in Santa Barbara.

Beautiful photo!! It’s sunny here right now, but definitely not as warm as SB. 🙂

It’s been surprisingly warm here. Muggy even. 😀 ~W
I spent a summer at Music Academy of the West. I love Santa Barbara, too.
Enjoy your home away from home!

It is enchanting, no? 😀 ~W
I hope you had a good weekend with family and friends,making memories to go with the ones you have from days gone by. Hope that makes some kind of sense to you! It’s hard for me to find the words sometimes to go with what I’m feeling and trying to say! It’s been quite here at home and today finally some rain. I hope you will be able to “visit home” soon.

We had a lovely weekend. Part of plans fell through, but Saturday night we spent on our porch until the wee hours. It was so lovely and balmy and almost Californian out there. 😀 Thanks so much! ~W
