The Beach

Mike's family owns a beach house in Carpinteria, California (a little south of Santa Barbara). I just love the house and the town... the town is small enough that you can walk everywhere. I love the fact that we can spend the entire weekend without driving the car...it makes me feel like an environmentalist.

The beach house has been under construction for the past year, and it is finally almost done! Last weekend, the circus drove down to break it in. We had a blast!

My dream for this summer is to spend as much time as possible at the beach, and relive the house's glory days, filled to the rim with family, friends and really good mexican food.

Backyard Projects

We live in a house with a wonderful back yard. I love to look out the kitchen window and admire all of the flowers that are blooming during this time of the year. The only caveat to this great backyard is that the people who live behind our home are chain smokers, and we usually have to run inside after a couple of minutes of being outside because someone has decided to light up another cigarette. The great thing is that perhaps our neighbors have decided to quit, or smoke inside their home, or maybe they are just on vacation... but for the last week, we have been able to spend all our time outside without being chased away by smoke!! Yeah! My baby Matt is getting so big! Five months old, and he is still just the sweetest little baby. I LOVE HIM! To celebrate earth day, I planted a small organic vegetable/herb garden. This is the only space in our backyard that is sunny enough to sustain vegetables. But I decided that a small garden is better than no garden at all! Did you know...
