A Plum Grows in Venice

by Cathleen Schine on July 29, 2010

Here is a bowl of plums from a tree in my son’s backyard in Venice, CA. They no longer exist. They were delicious.

And here is a view of Janet’s and my street in Venice, CA.

Cathleen, Loved both “The New Yorkers” and “The Three Weismans…” especially since I grew up in New York, lived on the UWS both as a teenager and adult, and resided in Westport for 20 years … now in Fairfield. I’m curious to know (as are the gals in my book club), whether you are the daughter of Lois Schine of Westport.

Dear Ms. Schine,

I have just finished reading your article on napping, a love story in Real Simple Magazine. I thought it was wonderful! I’m still laughing out loud and I can totally picture some of my family falling asleep right after a big holiday meal. Only the picture that you presented was so funny with everyone sleeping including the dog. Your article just made me want to read one of your books. I love your sense of humor.
Thanks for the afternoon chuckle, it was almost as good as a nap!

Thanks so much. Actually, Lois Schine is my cousin.
