Labor day is a precious bit of time for me. Summer fun comes to a close, but family is gathered for the last warm days. I treasure this holiday for this sweet family time.
THIS POST WILL BE SHORT FOR THAT REASON. JUST A SPRINKLING OF CANDIDS OF SOME TIME AWAY FROM THE CITY, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF BELOW TAKEN IN THE CITY, RIGHT BEFORE I LEFT FOR THE WEEKEND. NOTHING GLAMOROUS OR SPECIAL. JUST ME BEING ME, AND TRYING TO LOOK TALLER, TOO. LOL !

SUNSETS IN THE HAMPTONS ARE MAGICAL. THE LIGHT, BOTH THE INTENSITY AND THE SHEER MAGNITUDE OF ITS REACH, IS HEAVENLY, AND SOMETHING I WILL NEVER TIRE OF.

The house is still pretty well stocked, even as we leave tomorrow and do not come back until after Fashion Week.

A TYPICAL DINNER IS LOBSTER ROLL PICKED UP FROM THE SAG HARBOR WHARF, A SALAD OF LOCAL GREENS AND A DELISH BOTTLE OF ROSÈ.

And I bid farewell to summer. Until, of course, the temps rise, as they always do in September , And I return again!
