Martha's Vineyard.

Beautiful houses in Martha's Vineyard

Our last adventure during this trip was a visit to Martha's Vineyard. One of our favorite summer places in this country. We went there to celebrate my father in law's coming birthday, he's turning 80 very soon. My sister in law Marguerite and her husband Shelby were also there, what a treat!. It was so much fun! The kids didn't want to leave. We rented a room in a modest and cozy house away from the busy part of the island with the most amazing view. Everything in it was decorated vintage style with tons of little flea market treasures everywhere. From our window we could see horses, a big pond, trees, a beautiful field covered with the greenest grass ever, flowers... we could even see the house where the Obama family stayed at when they came to the island recently. (What a property!)

We're back in NYC right now. Everybody is tired. My father in law, Bill and the kids are watching tennis while I'm doing some laundry and getting ready for tomorrow. We're flying back to Los Angeles early in the morning. I feel so happy about this whole experience. I also feel excited about going back home. What I miss the most about LA is my little plants and the fish! I hope that they're all OK. My neighbor Sally, who's an angel, is taking care of everything over there.

Talk to you at my return!

I haven't seen the painted ladies in Oak Bluffs in about twenty-two years (since I was eleven and spent one magical summer riding my bicycle all over the island). I have such happy fragments of memories-- going out to dinner at a fancy "grown up" restaurant, and afterwards, walking by the victorians, all lit up and illuminated at night, realizing that the houses had individual names I could read off of plaques on, or hanging from, the porch. I didn't know then that a house smaller than a mansion+estate could have a name, and I've been obsessed with naming little houses ever since! From time to time, when someone has mentioned Martha's Vineyard in passing conversation, I've tried to bring the painted ladies to mind, and found I couldn't quite remember what any particular one looked like. It's just a dizzying whirl of color and gingerbread and light and flowers. So nice to be reminded of them (and see photos) by you-- somehow, that seems about right (I can see the houses so easily rendered in paper now, as paper cuttings.) I feel certain from how the experience lives on in my imagination of things that your vacation to the Vineyard will be a wonderful memory for your children. Thanks for sharing with us!

I have always wanted to go to Martha's Vineyard. I knew it would be pretty from some movies I've seen it in, but I didn't realize the houses were so amazing! Gorgeous, can't wait to visit it someday.

I think we must have known each other in another life. Not only are you a fan of SYTYCD, but you are a JT fan too. I am a huge James Taylor fan. I've been to see him plabobry 8 times. I've traveled to Chicago to see him. Most of the music on my iPod is his. I get regular updates from some of his fan sites. So I know exactly how you feel. His music heals me.
