The word boho keeps coming up as I think about what I want to pack for this trip. I CAN NEVER BRING ENOUGH HATS WHEN I TRAVEL. I find brighter colors easier to embrace in strong sunny places. Colorful? Me? I won’t rule it out because while I adore neutrals and the whole coastal grandmother vibe, I’ve learned to never say never about fashion. Where he lives has a very casual and relaxed atmosphere, so I’m in the mood to pack loose, comfy, and quite possibly colorful clothes. I’m getting excited about our trip to visit my brother in Mexico. I’ll keep you posted…at least my lipstick is safe.

And since I have to do it, I think it’ll be fun to try some new brands and products. My doctor also advised me to replace all my eye makeup, which broke my heart because I’d just bought new mascara and eyeshadow! Replacing everything is not going to be an inexpensive process, so I’m taking my time.

I, unfortunately, developed an eye infection last week that requires a course of antibiotic drops. You may notice I look a little paler than usual in this photo. On Saturday, we went out for a very casual dinner to celebrate our 45th anniversary, then laid low to stay dry.

It was a drippy, windy, pretty nasty weekend for us.
