The morning after my last day of work, I picked Anto up at the airport. She was the first of a small procession of visitors that would come through before my take off to Australia.
If the rest of the summer seemed like a party, now with no work and friends in town, Carnival had begun.
That afternoon we had planned a picnic to celebrate both G's and my birthdays. (Our birthdays are exactly one month apart, so we often pick a date in between on which to have a combined celebration.) Given Anto's arrival and the fact that I'd finished at my job the day before, a celebration seemed particularly in order.
As I've mentioned in the past, we are big fans of tasting area at Malibu Family WInes. This spot requires no Bucket List, as it is one of our favorite spots in the Los Angeles area. As is our tradition, we brought a picnic and hunkered down with a couple bottles of wine for the afternoon. A rather random hodgepodge of friends from various areas of our lives showed up this afternoon— very few knew each other — but somehow it all resulted in a delightful afternoon.
