That is the view from Shangri-Lar. The amazing new home of my favorite Lar couple!

Sooooo beautiful, so happy, cheerful, eco-friendly, delicious, warm, and inspiring a home has never been built before.

And above is the lovely couple: Kirby is wielding two knives while Neil protects a wine bottle. Look at those happy kitchen colors! Even the lights are exciting -- some repurposed South American glass seltzer bottle halves. Incredible! And this is only 1% of the gorgeous and unique things that make this house so special.

The food and company are amazing at Shangri-Lar. We went out at low tide to walk in the water and look for shells and pretty rocks. We stepped on horse clams spouts and got our toes tickled by little crabs and fast fishies. Kirby and Neil made the most delicious dinner. Wine flowed. And then at sunset Neil returned to his ancestral urges and made a big blazing fire for our s'more dessert. It was heaven!

Thank you, dear friends, for such a great time.
