Goodbye, Summer

Goodbye, Summer

Where have the summer weeks gone?  Time has flown by, and before we say goodbye to these warm months, we're catching up with our summer projects...and the food we've eaten! From pizza ovens to sunflowers and even African jerky, we're bidding a fond farewell to the past three months and looking forward to the fall with home parties, freshly cut flowers, and gorgonzola cream.

Singer & Writer April Walsh

We were gifted with the presence of singer, writer, and chanteuse April Walsh in Episode 20.  During the pandemic, April got creative and started presenting livestream concerts from the comfort of her own home.  Now, she regularly performs throughout California when she's not writing historical fiction.  She graces our studio with three songs, noting her love of Edith Piaf and the female vocalists of the 1940's.  Perhaps we'll be able to pin her down for a warehouse concert?  Tune in and find out!

Event-a-Palooza!

Our calendars are full and we couldn't be happier!  In this episode of BFF, Paul and Annie celebrate National Best Friends Day with iced coffee, candy and teddy bears!   Annie details her recent event with Mercy House, and Paul explains a bit of prep work that must go into floral design. Annie prepares to celebrate her graduation and birthday, and Paul updates us with a long list of events he's been called to design.  Dahlias, silk roses, and cherry trees abound!

New Business

What's one sign life is returning to normal?  High traffic patterns in California! Our BFFs are venturing out into new business adventures!  Annie reveals a few details about her upcoming line of all-natural dog treats, and Paul shares a few galas he's arranging flowers for. Gardens are coming alive and schools are wrapping up for the year.  Will Annie be moving by the end of summer?   What will she use her food laser on next?  And, will she ever get into technology?!? All these questions will be answered in Episode 18!

Celebrating Motherhood

Happy Mother's Day to all of the women who have loved and nurtured us!  We're celebrating motherhood today, as Annie and Paul announce they're working together on a new even with Foster All, an organization near and dear to their hearts. Annie talks about her experience with fostering and adoption, and offers some touching quotes you may want to use in your Mother's Day card.  She also shares details about a new laser machine that will help her with future clients and parties. Paul's dog Blaze makes a special cameo, Annie decides to go back to school (again!), and little glimmers of hope appear to give us strength to get through the next few months.
