February in Santa Barbara

Here are pics of my little writer's retreat in Santa Barbara. It was a fabulous month - 2 blocks from the beach and 4 miles from Chloe's school. I indulged in books, research and writing to my heart's content. It was decadent and delicious. Chloe had my car and was the perfect interruption every time she popped by. The second weekend, Gary flew down and we hopped in the car and drove to San Diego for a party to honor my dad. It was a great weekend of being with friends and family- I loved every moment. The following weekend was Chloe's 19th BD. Bethie took the train up to party with us. 4 weeks later, 120 pages written and many rich moments with my daughter later, I packed up the suburu and headed back to my moist habitat in the northwest. Here are a couple of blogs from my month: http://www.tinaschermersellers.blogspot.com/
