summer bliss





i made a decision in january to use my tax refund to rent a house on fire island in the sleepiest little community i could find. i was nervous about the investment and the emotional return, but i just did it...oh, i am so glad that i did.

i have the house for 4 weeks. i had one week in june to test the waters and two in july and a final week in august. i have been at the beach for over a week now and the emotional return is far more valuable than the money i invested.

i have had lots of guests and i love that. everyone has been amazing and sitting on the deck drinking wine into the dark evening hours has just brought a smile to my face. it's fun to share my little piece of paradise.

i have learned how to light a grill manually and grilled my little heart out! i've finished two books, started an embroidery project, explored the island on bike and foot, taught d & k how to duck dive into the surf, buried mugi up to her neck in sand...i'm hooked.



if you need some beach time come and visit! you've got my number.
