Whatever

other side of mom and dad's ranch
1. Ali left with his dad for Nova Scotia yesterday. He has so much fun visiting his grandparents, and I'm so happy they take such good care of him. He always comes back a little taller and wiser.

2. So, we're going to be working on a nursery. We're leaning towards a nautical theme.

3. When I go shopping, all I want to buy are dresses. It's summer and it's hot. I just want to wear pretty dresses in summer colors!

4. My sisters and I are working on throwing a jazz-age lawn party at the ranch and inviting as many people as we can. The evenings are nice at the ranch and we've already put up lights on all the trees on the main drive and lawn. It looks dreamy.

5. I really don't like it when people scream on their cell phones in public.

6. I've been lusting over bath soaps at a local bath shop. I buy a new one everytime I walk into the store. I have a huge jar full of them by the guest bath. Take your pick. Saltwater soap? Cedarwood? Clary Sage? White grapefruit?

7. I give a hug and a kiss when I greet people. If it's a first time meeting, a handshake will suffice. I've noticed many people don't like the physical contact during a greeting. I see it can make them feel awkward. Oh well.

8. At a party, a friend needed her warm white wine chilled pretty fast. I advised her to wrap a wet paper towel around the bottle and stick it in the freezer. About ten minutes later it was perfect!

9. The lady that paints my nails thinks Ali is my daughter.

10. I'm actually really excited to see Where the Wild Things Are.

My wife and I browsed all the shops in Saugatuck yesterday. That town is a wonderful resort and artist-y area tucked under the trees on the Lake Michigan shoreline.
I picked up and sniffed at all the soaps. I want one of each.
We had great lunch with our kids at a French bistro: duck bruschetta, crab crepes, pomme frites with lemon sauce, and more.
I came home with a head full of ideas for creative creations and plans for the gardens. The only piece of art that I bought was a gothic dog concrete statue from the broken stuff pile at one store. I told the proprietor that I only wanted the gargoyle dog head, but he made me buy the whole thing. I might put the two pieces together again, but really I wanted to use the cast head for something unexpected. We'll see....
