The long weekend was exactly what I needed. I slept in, got lost in Paper Source for over an hour,  enjoyed sunsets and Happy Hours, attended an impromptu cake tasting, and finally completed a total cleanse and reorganization of the apartment. Memorial Day is truly the beginning of summer and it sets the tone for late afternoon cocktails, spontaneous trips to the beach and a generally relaxed way of life for the next few months. We’ll be spending the afternoon grilling in my parents backyard–the ideal way to kick off the season.
