RANCHO LA HECTIC–I mean La Zaca, which for new readers is the California ranch where I spend about half my time. The irony is that the word “Zaca” means “place of peace, quiet, and contentment.” I will keep this in mind as I chase my tail up one hill and down the other and around four teenage boys, and the Cowboy (aka His Grace my sweetheart), and two more house guests, and trying to get them all to PUT ON SUNSCREEN DAMMIT, and re-planting the garden which was pitiful when I got here, and fixing 17 flower arrangements , and having 3o people for dinner, and 72,000 emails I haven’t even looked at, and in between getting a month’s worth of work done around the ranch in the 10 days I’m here until I return in August, and writing my next book, and other than that I’m not doing a thing.
