What my life has been like with the Hamptons these past two, glorious weeks. I just love this family. We live right on the greenbelt in Davis, their house backs up to miles of parks and bike paths. Their home feels a little like a Hobbiton residence, tucked beneath flower vines and reachable only by a couple stone pathways. Each room is sponge-painted in warm, inviting colors, and they have a a Christmas tree that looks like it's straight from Narnia.
The kids and I love to laugh and joke around. Steve is always bringing some world issue to light ... whether it's endangered birds in California, the plight of immigrants, economic injustice in India or crazy anti-Muslim propoganda in the U.S. And Lonna and I just love to talk. I could listen to her stories and her thoughts for hours, whether we're baking the kitchen or eating around the table.
This place is definitely my home away from home.
