The Garlick Press

The month of August came scorching in quickly and now I can feel summer melting away even faster.  The Garlick Press has a few big events happening soon, and I am looking forward to them all. 

In honor of one of them...Dean and I hosted a beach party for Dione as we usher her off to UCLA law school this week.

Now I don't want to brag, but move over Martha...there's a new centerpiece queen in town. 

And you might be thinking "but I thought Dione was going to Boston".  Well, a new opportunity opened up and she switched coasts.

And now Dione has us all singing Katy Perry's

"California Girls".  It's pretty catchy!

"I know a place

Where the grass is really greener

Warm, wet and wild

There must be somethin' in the water

Sippin' gin and juice

Layin' underneath the palm trees

The boys

Break their necks

Try'na creep a little sneak peek

You could travel the world

But nothing comes close

To the Golden Coast

Once you party with us

You'll be falling in love
Oooooh oh oooooh

California girls

We're unforgettable

Daisy Dukes

Bikinis on top

California girls

We're undeniable

Fine, fresh, fierce

We got it on lock

West coast represent

Now put your hands up

Oooooh oh oooooh
 

Toned, tanned

Fit and ready

Turn it up 'cause it's gettin' heavy

Wild, wild West coast

These are the girls I love the most

California girls man

I wish they all could be

California girls."

OK, so that was the edited version of Katy's song. 

Wow...we are so very proud of you Dione. We will miss you more than you'll know, but can't wait to visit you in sunny California. 
You go California girl!
