My parents moved my Los Angeles born butt to Santa Ynez when I was 15 and I went to high school at Dunn in Los Olivos. I was not a happy camper at the time, but when I look back on my life there, I kind of miss it. I stayed around there until I was 25. I really miss the Oak trees.<br /><br />xo,<br />rueRuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12110133467260748245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434601505681405514.post-40176321452578585252017-04-25T20:26:54.626-07:002017-04-25T20:26:54.626-07:00Your home always looks tidy and inviting.

Your house looks so receptive--I'm sure friends are drawn to your house, and it makes all the difference when you are a hostess who welcomes and isn't ruffled by the unexpected visitor. We have friends who we feel free to drop in on--they are the best!
