Oh, To Be Loved!

What a month. September was my birthday month and I am known to celebrate pretty much EVERY DAY, but folks demanded that Lula's Party Central be on site with delicious food pretty much ALL of the time...so I didn't get to pamper myself like I usually do...never fear - OCTOBER is here!!! (Gee...couldn't tell THAT from the picture, could you?!?) BTW Lula's caters the BEST Halloween parties!!

I felt something shift in September - a sort of feeling that I'm now on the best side of life - and this feeling makes me even more joyful and intent to cram as much fun and beauty into every day as possible. I took stock of my favorite things...and it comes down to some really simple stuff. The warmth and comfort of authentic friendships, family, King Crab Legs...rain, Chinese Checkers, King Salmon...hmmm...is there a theme here? Oh, makes sense...ROYALTY!! This is a pic of Lula's Sorghum & Cider Glazed King Salmon on a bed of Roasted Butternut Squash and Garlic Sauteed Power Greens - also a favorite thing!

Also included in my favorite things is Bach, reading thrillers, philosophizing...pug comedy, hugs, an excellent Barbera...and learning something new. I find at 60 that I still learn something new every day, and I feel so JOYFUL when the lightbulb goes on!

This was truly a month of love; there was an outpouring like I don't think I've ever experienced before. I have never felt so loved! My heart is filled to bursting, and I want to share that with you. Selections this fall will definitely include my FAVORITE THINGS!

One of My Favorite Things

Meet Uncle Blair. This is a pic of us in LA a couple of years ago - he traipsed across the country to celebrate with me and I am SO LUCKY!! We had the best time and laughed and laughed and laughed. A favorite thing. And cheese. Cheese is a favorite thing. And Gordon's homemade bread...and white flowers...and...HOLIDAYS! Don't forget the HOLIDAYS ARE COMING! Lula only has TWO HANDS!!
