where to begin?

I don't even know where to begin today's post.

Life has been crazy busy the past week.

We had a great time at a beach bonfire.

tolerating the girls...

I had dinner with a good friend of mine at Pierre's.

She had just returned from three weeks in the south of France.

While there, she bought Another Birkin.

However, she informed me that 

the Hermes "toolbox" she was carrying

is the new "it" bag.

(In case you were wondering...)

She then whipped out her black AmEx

and insisted on paying for our $250 dinner for two

because she had invited me.

(thank goodness!)

C has been spending some time here

with the nicest little girl.

(Do you think they'd adopt me?)

And John and I were lucky 

 to spend the day together

Saturday.

First, we took the kids to Long Beach -

the boys jogged

and the girls walked.

Then, C had a play date adventure to Montauk

with a certain little girl, a private chef,

and the nanny.

The boys rode bikes around Sag Harbor.

Then it was my turn!

A glass of rose' on the porch of the

American Hotel,

shopping in East Hampton,

followed by dinner

at Tutto il Giorno.

Life is good this summer.  

Very good.
