Didion
The only book of hers that I read was The Year of Magical Thinking. I didn’t like it. I thought she felt sorry for herself for too long though she did have a reason. She expected too much of other people IMHO.
JO your party sounded great and I would like to see pictures of your patio. My flowers aren’t doing well. Squirrels are digging them up for some reason and the heat is doing them in even though I keep trying to water. We have had very little rain. Some is expected today and I am keeping my fingers crossed.
