   Loved so many things in this post. The choc. brown coat is fabulous. I want to make the garlicky shrimp fried rice but behind a paywall…HOWEVER I just learned I can read various newspapers through my library membership/card. Did everyone but me know this? Love the rose colored barn jacket but just got a great denim one from Anthro that is warm and a bit longer which works well for me.

   Hi Grace,

   Happy November! Loved your “Weekend Reading” today especially your link to “How to Help Families Losing SNAP Benefits”.. I live in LA and sadly and anxiously one of those 42 million people. Probably not your average reader at 73 , but I’ve been an avid reader of your blog for years. I typically never comment, but felt compelled to this time. Your content, clothes (drooling here) , adventures ◡̈ and all around advice are always so interesting, inspiring and informative. Not to mention you’re a charming, talented and soulful woman. Adorable meows too! Thank you for caring and sharing!
   P.S.
   Your new green bicycle is FABULOUS!

   THANK YOU for such a thoughtful reading list. Especially the link to the article “How to Help Families Losing SNAP Benefits” during the devastating funding cuts. I have been an avid reader of your blog for years, and have always appreciated the balance between intellectual reading and more fun reading.

   I have three pairs of women’s AYR jeans and one pair of men’s sitting in my shopping cart. my fingers are crossed that since you’re the second blogger I read who’s mentioned them this weekend, that maybe a discount and affiliate link is coming out way….

   that clueless fashion book will be mine. thank you Grace!!

     I haven’t ever seen them do a discount code but maybe they’ll have a black friday sale!
