Good Morning Darlings!

The summer is in full swing and our neighborhood (aka “The Cruise Ship”), has set sail. This means tons of parties, cookouts and drinking on various porches and backyards of all our friends.

It is almost as much fun as Christmas, but for a longer period of time and more heat.

Last weekend, we gathered together to celebrate Rick’s birthday.

Good Morning Darlings!

An evening of leis and mai tais last night in the kitschy confines of Trader Vic’s with a marvelous group of girly girls has me feeling particularly girly today.

So I thought I would introduce some bloggers you may or may not know yet.

The girliest of the bunch.
