My husband and I went out to L.A. again for the book party for "Wivenhoe Park". We had some time to go to Palm Springs and Joshua Tree as well. I'm a little late on posting photos but I got sick in the desert, and still am! How I could go from -7 winter weather… Continue reading Art, Books, Drinks, and the Desert: L.A. Recap
