Happy Bastille Day. And forty years since man walked on the moon. Most of you probably weren’t even born then. But I remember walking on the beach in Florida as a girl of thirteen and looking up at the night sky in wonder. I still feel that way.

Yesterday was our first day back on Desperate Housewives and it was good to be there. Now that I’m in my third season, it really does feel like a family. That’s one of the best things about working in television. Everyone shared their vacation stories and then it was back to work. I’m not going to give anything away- but even I was surprised. Marc wrote a wonderful script. And Drea de Mateo and Jeffrey Nordling(whom I worked with on True Women) are going to be excellent additions to the Lane. I think most of you are going to be happy.

As for my vacation, it was all too brief. Ireland was great fun and the people could not have been kinder. We had glorious weather. Not only was I Ryan Turbridy’s final guest(an honor) but I got to experience my first pub lock-in as we celebrated their last night. You locals will have to explain what that is. Let’s just say, I did see the sun come up.

After that it was London and New York for theater. My favorites were Michael Urie(Ugly Betty) in The Temperamentals and Hair on Broadway. My first date at the age of 14 was at Hair Off-Broadway so it was a gas for me. And yes- I did go up and dance on stage. Wouldn’t have missed it!

I hope that you are all having a good summer. It’s my favorite time of year. Thank you for your support from all over the world. It’s our own little International House of Pancakes. And hasn’t Reg done a beautiful job with the website? By the way, I agree with you about the make-up. When I’m not working, I don’t wear any.

I feel so lucky to get to do what I love. You help make that possible.
