Sometimes on vacation I don't stop and relax because I'm spending all my time doing fantastic stuff.  I had a fabulous time in Los Angeles and Joshua Tree National Park last week ... and now I need about a week of non-stop naps.

I brought back a stack of postcards and have mailed out all but one.  If you've been wanting to send me your address but have been too shy ... do it now. :)  Yes, you.  Maybe you'll be the lucky L.A. postcard getter, or maybe you'll get some other fabulous piece of mail from me.

I asked Andrew to edit one of his photos for this post from among the hundreds he took, and I got more than one ... ha!  I don't think I would have been able to pick just one, either. :)  Enjoy!

There was cloud-to-ground lightening in that desert storm at Joshua Tree National Park.

CLOUDS!
