2020. What a year. So many numbers we hear about–the number of COVID-19 cases, political polls, days of civil unrest, days in quarantine, number of days businesses have been closed, hurricanes. We are counting a lot this year.

But for me, there is one number that will always stand out in 2020.

50.

I turned fifty. Just typing the word seems unbelievable–like most of 2020.

After weeks of social distancing and quarantining–before a statewide mask mandate–I was thankfully able to celebrate this monumental number with one perfect day.

As the air turns cooler and we say hello to fall, I wanted to officially say goodbye to this special summer. The summer I turned 50. And the celebration with all of my favorite things: stunning details, delicious food, beautiful art, jazz music and (especially) my closest people.

There will be a time when we all look back on 2020 and reflect on all the unimaginable circumstances and events that defined this year.

Though many things will come to mind, this day will stand out.

Now, to scroll through the details and relive it over and over.

And over.
