The summer is heating up, and so is my inspiration.  Here’s what kept me busy and inspired this month!

• Friday, June 3: Date night with “El Diablo” (the Cocktail, that is) at Urbana at the Anaheim Packinghouse followed by a tasting at the Anaheim Brewery surrounded by copper kettle splendor. 
• Saturday, June 4: Zac Brown Band and Tailgating with friends and neighbors.  Now that’s everything we need, nothing that we don’t.
• Monday, June 6: Summer’s Year of Training has begun! The first of many classes, let’s talk accounting…
• Friday, June 10: Lunch with SpaGirl Cocktails. Dinner at the Playground in DTSA, and drinks & popcorn in the courtyard
• Saturday, June 11: Happy 70^th Birthday Mom! Duffy Boat ride in Newport with the family and all the fixin’s.  Did someone say limoncello?
• Sunday, June 12: Lunch in DTSA @ 4^th Street Market. Pizza! FPNA Legacy awards and Scholarship reception. Post awards pizza party with the neighbors. Took a moment to reflect on Orlando.
• Monday, July 13: Dinner on DTLA rooftop @ Perch.
• Tuesday, July 14: Happy Birthday Wayne!
• Saturday, July 18: A great party to celebrate a great friend. Cheeses, and charcuterie and antipasto, oh my! (and more Pizza, too).
• Sunday, June 19: Father’s Day Sail with the family.  Long Beach may not invite us back…
• Monday, June 20: First day of Summer and a Heat Wave hit SoCal.  119 Degrees.  Doesn’t that scream fried chicken?  It did to me….
• Thursday, June 23: CalCPA Gala. Happy 50^th to the Education Foundation. Thanks for all your support!
• Saturday, June 25: Let the Glamping begin!   We met Alex’s parents, our nephew and our old friends Carey & Tracey & family at Hume Lake for a week of fun.  We hiked, we fished (but no catching), we floated (mango style), we grilled, we read, and we ate.  A lot.
