Bon Voyage

July may have had its bumps, but at least it's ending on a good note: I'm off on vacation to the Sunshine State. That means you have a few extra days to complete the July POP Project, as I won't be posting the roundup until after August 4. If you haven't yet sat down to think about what makes you happy, you absolutely should. I'll leave you with a few of the sure things on my list: bursting peonies, like the ones up there, really strong iced coffee, being seated at a big boisterous table with good food and beloved dining companions, polaroids, clean sheets, watching young children with their parents, napping in the sunshine, floating, sitting outside with a delicious beverage and a chatty friend, geraniums on windowsills, those random moments of connection with passing strangers, chopping vegetables, and when I'm in front of a computer this, this, and this. See you in August!
