Stay With Your Dreams
Once, when I was about 8 years old, I ordered an enormous stack of pancakes at a restaurant. I remember being delighted to be able to select something from the grown-up menu, but when I got about a quarter of the way through it, I had to stop. I’ve always loved pancakes, but this was too much. “Your eyes are bigger than your stomach,” my dad said with a grin.
I got the chance to pass this simple lesson on to my daughter recently while helping her find a new couch.

Southern Inspiration
Some people return from vacations with T-shirts and coffee mugs. This Ballico family came home from a visit to Williamsburg, Virginia, inspired by the architecture of the old South and determined to re-create a Colonial homestead on this 9-acre parcel surrounded by 2,500 acres of California almonds.
