January 2026 Plans
I'm currently immersed in the Palm Springs International Festival, where we are viewing 15 films over 8 days, plus assorted Directors and Actors talks. It's been GREAT, but we are running like crazy here, as we work through each day's very detailed and coordinated schedule, attempting to work in lots of walking miles to and from the various movie showing venues, plus our meals, which are at times eaten standing up while waiting in line for our movie seats to open up. Fun stuff, but definitely not for the weak of heart. 😆

Post-movie stage talk by Director and the two leading Actors for India’s 2026 Oscar film submission, Homebound, which we absolutely loved. |
Once we return home this upcoming weekend, we have a number of other January events and plans to look forward to:
- We are hosting a fund-raising walk to the beach and back, followed by bagels, fruit, and mimosas back at our home. Our 12-person event bid out at almost $200, proceeds of which went to our spiritual community.
- We have two winery dinner and tasting events to attend, always a good time.
- We’ll be attending the symphony, followed by dinner, with friends.
- The jungle of HOA plants adjacent to our home will be removed, opening up our sight lines of the surrounding hills substantially.
- This large, unframed canvas print will be ordered and delivered from one of my favorite Etsy shops, the first step in my living room refresh.
- I’ll begin shopping for new sofas for the living room, the second and final step in this year’s selected home refresh project.
