Admittedly, California weather is perfect. It’s late July, the flowers are blooming, the breezes are blowing, and it’s just absolutely wonderful to be outside. It’s enough to make me miss living in Newport. Of course, living in Newport gave me my best friends in the whole world, so I will always be beyond grateful for…
