The last of it ...

Do you ever dream of getting away?

Wanna go here?

Then you have to read this ...

That's all I have to say.  No way I can explain the journey you'll take just by reading this book.  And I bet you'll want to pack up and move to Provence.  No kidding.

I have subscribed to this magazine for almost 14 years.

I have made some cool crafts, cooked some awesome recipes, duplicated decorating ideas, and tended some beautiful gardens.  All inspired by Martha.  On the other hand, I have also felt like a huge underachiever at times.  All because of Martha.  But it doesn't stop me from loving this magazine.

If Provence doesn't float your boat ... how about this ...

Doesn't this look like pure bliss?  But I'm thinkin' ... if you're relaxing on that beach you'll need a book to read.  Like the one mentioned above.

I'm just thinking out loud.  It's a great book is all I'm trying to say.

And you'll need some of these too ...

I practically live in flip flops.  Almost year round.  I take the months of December and January off.  It does get a little cold, at least for a little while, here in the Central Valley of Cali.  But the rest of the year, yeah, I'm wearing flip flops.

So where am I going with all this?  Check back on Sunday.
