FAREWELL 2017

HANGIN' OUT

(Like everyone else between Christmas and New Year.)

CANINE CHRISTMAS

AFTER THE INFERNO

With much emotion and love, Montecito's community regroups in time for Christmas.

KEEPSAKE

Packing up to evacuate I came upon a keepsake I had not seen in years and thought lost forever:  a silver Tiffany pocket frame with a photo booth pic of me and my dad.

Best Christmas present ever.

THE LAST SUPPER

An unexpected and rather fabulous Christmas getaway, destined to be more memorable than most.
