Last week I took a trip back to Boston and Maine for my dad's 60th b-day! It was a ton of fun--as evidenced by the pictures. We stayed in a beautiful cliff-side hotel in Ogunquit, Maine. It was clearly turning toward fall on the East Coast--over here in San Diego it's still sunny and clear. There's a new bush that begins flowering every couple weeks or so--it's great! Work has been keeping me busy, but this weekend its all about relaxation, taking it in. Snickerdoodles are in the works, some shopping will no doubt take place, and we're definently going to check out "The Departed"--the new Scorcese movie set in Boston. --Johanna
