Hooray for the weekend! Aron and I are headed out on a kid-free trip to Healdsburg and Calistoga to celebrate our anniversary a little early! (Thank you, grandparents and babysitters and the village making it possible!) I had what I thought was a terrible cold over the weekend that turned out to be strep and I can’t tell you my relief that the antibiotics worked and that it all cleared up in time for this. We have dinner reservations at Single Thread Farms, which has been on my wish list for a long time, and plans to float in the hot spring-fed pool before making it back in time for Hudson’s last regular-season baseball game.
What are you looking forward to this weekend?

We had our bookclub last night to discuss Killers of the Flower Moon. Next month we will read An American Marriage—which has been on our list for a long while! (Remember?)
I’ve also been hearing great things about this book!
