JUNE was a VERY BUSY MONTH!

WE attended a wedding in HEALDSBURG and saw GORGEOUS PEOPLE from DOWNUNDER!!

 

 

I’m looking DOWN at THEM as my computer is not uploading any of their images!!!!!!

I am a bit BOTHERED by THIS but will continue……….

This is what it is saying and I know they are THERE!

DOES THIS MEAN THEY ARE IN THE CLOUD????!

 

I received an email about ALI MACGRAW being in CHICAGO and sent my INSTAGRAM BUDDY TO MEET HER!

Love it when PEOPLE LISTEN TO ME!

WE ALL get a THRILL out of it!

She actually got to speak with her for about 10 minutes and was in the front row!
