I came across this book at an gallery on my birthday, and have decided that this will be the general theme of my 35th year on this planet. 
Kaufmann Desert House by Richard Neutra - Palm Springs, CA / It doesn't look like much from the road, but this house is a dream and I finally got to see it!
It's no Julius Shulman photo, but it'll do.
To celebrate my 35th year on this planet, that wonderful husband of mine brought me back to my happy place. A handful of days spent lounging by the pool, wandering around town, eating really good food, drinking and jenga at a tiki bar, exploring Joshua Tree, and driving around my favorite mid-century neighborhood seeing some serious dream houses. It couldn't have been better, and it was the trip that made me realize my adventures with California are just beginning again. We arrived back to Seattle after eleven p.m. to a windy rain storm. It was depressing, but SeaTac was playing Temple of the Dog when we got off the plane, and I was instantly okay with being home.
