Go-Go Changes!

Alright, team!

Goal= accomplished!

I will be leaving on Saturday, July 30th to go help out with Chekhov's " The Seagull" at Lake Lucille! It's the same people who created that beautiful production of "Balm in Gilead" that I raved about in my last blog post. Every year they produce a show at their home in Lake Lucille. It's a week of food, sun, love, and theater. Although the show was already cast, I am helping them out. Everyone eats and cooks their meals together, and I'll be helping orchestrate the whole process. "Mistress of the heath" as it's been explained to me. My friend Elvy will be up there with me as well, and it should be a ball. Much singing, I hear, which I'm always a fan of.

The Lake...stunning!

My goal was to get involved with this group of theater folks... this passionate, unbelievably talented and highly recognized group. And here I go!









Here's a New York Times article about the people running the event:

I also spent a fabulous weekend in the Hamptons. It was my first time out of the city since I've moved, and holy smokes it was stunning! When I went back to California a couple weeks ago to visit, I felt like I could breathe... space. And driving out to the Hamptons, it was the same beautiful feeling. I just decided "That's it!" That's how I'm going to live in New York for years and years.... I need the trees, I need the space, I need the air. So many trips upstate (ahem, Lake Lucille!) many trips to the Hamptons...

       

...life is rough, ain't it?

I was in the Hamptons to celebrate a dear family friend's birthday. It was such an honor to be invited, and I had an absolute blast! I stuffed myself with food, lounged around the pool, and danced the night away. Ummm my first WHOLE lobster?!? YES please!!!


I've never seen a party like this, and it felt so good to be surrounded by my East Coast family. We had a feast on the beach Friday night- clams, lobster, and everything in between. I forgot how good a S'more tastes! (which, most definitely will be incorporated into my summer routine, how could I have neglected those chocolate delights?) Saturday was a pool day, a relax day. The party Saturday night was  filled with food (sensing a theme?), drink, LIVE band, singing, dancing, and of course a healthy dose of debauchery. So far, life feels good.

A few of the happy party-goers!

Oh, did I forget to mention the Masseuse on Sunday?




July, the month of change, is rockin' my life... for the better!
