Hawaii! Croatia! Oprah Reveals How She and Stedman Graham Are ‘Making Memories’ This Summer

Oprah Winfrey has deemed summer 2018 “the summer of my life.”

“I finally managed to get myself balanced enough to do whatever I want,” the media mogul, 64, tells PEOPLE in this week’s issue. “It’s like I wrote the script for summer.”

Between trips to Hawaii, the Mediterranean and Croatia, Winfrey also found time to relax at home in Montecito, Calif. with her longtime partner Stedman Graham and read under her oak trees.

“I was reading a book and napping with the dogs, and I just thought, ‘Well, if this isn’t bliss, I don’t know what is, ‘ ” she says. “It’s every day. Stedman and I just were sitting out on the back porch eating boiled eggs. Eating breakfast with avocados from the garden, and tomatoes, because tomatoes are now in season. We’re like, ‘This is unbelievable.’ He goes, ‘We’re making memories, babe. We’re making memories.’ ”
