This might have been my favorite summer yet. After a difficult summer last year (we lost out on a home just one day shy of closing on us, leaving us without a place to live), Bill and I were determined to make the most of the season this year. I think we accomplished that.
Putting these pictures together helped me remember and appreciate the great life that I’m lucky to have, which I don’t do often enough.
Saw Beyoncé in concert. It was amazing.
Visited our favorite winery, Taylor Brooke in Woodstock, Conn.
