High-Swing of Summer!

Weather-wise, it's been a pretty mild summer here in the Pacific Northwest. We've had some beautiful days, but even now, in early August, the best time of year, the sky is gray in the mornings and the clouds burn off by the afternoon.

On a positive note, we can wear less sunscreen and water the plants a little less too.

As usual, the retail stores foreshadow the upcoming season. Back to School and even Halloween decorations are already prevalent.

Personally, I'm preparing my 3 1/2 year old for her first day of Pre-School. She has a few school clothes and she's ready to hit the books (kid code for finger paint and play at recess). She is also looking forward to becoming a big sister in early October.

The Conciergerie will continue to accept clients who need house-sitting, event planning, errands and research managed. We have a close-knit, dedicated staff ready to give you the personalized attention you need to wrap up your summer and prepare you and your family for fall.
