ps

we're still here. been living it up palm springs style. riley and rowan have been having the time of their lives. rosie was here for a week, which was a total blast. we cooked a lot, thrift shopped non stop, had lots of pool parties, laughed our heads off and much more. every night was a slumber party especially when you have three dogs in your room (rosie brought dina down). it was a truly special time. decided to stay a bit longer cuz peter had to go to memphis. happy i was able too since it's starting to get hot here which means no more devon in palm springs for awhile. i do not do hot never have. looks like my dad will drive up with me and then stay with his mom. that should be a nice surprise for her. especially since the last time i went over there she was showing me the fence she had just repaired and tree she had just trimmed. mind you she's in her 80's. i'm 31 and i wouldn't dream of getting up on a ladder and doing half the things she does. so my dad will probably help her in the yard. i can't believe i've already been here for over two weeks. the time has truly flied by. i feel so lucky to have such a wonderful place to come home to. i didn't always feel that way. at one point in my life i hated the thought of coming to palm springs. "why did people move there" was always a question of mine. well, now i feel otherwise. this is truly a beautiful place with a very special personality. the only criticism is the lack of good places to eat. they are trying but still a ways away. i think it's hard cuz in the summer months things slow way down. tomorrow my mom and i are going into l.a. there's a jewelry show at a gallery she likes. we'll hit up some other places too. it should be a nice day of mother daughter bonding. that's all for now.
