The Friday Files


Hello, dear friends.  Boy, am I ever glad this week is coming to an end.  Such sadness in the news.  We lived in Boca Raton for three years and know the beauty of the community of Parkland very well.  I just can't stop thinking about the families of the seventeen lives that were lost.

With a broken heart, I present The Friday Files.

When my Sista and I were kids and we would leave a room and not shut out the lights, my father would say "What are we?  The Rockefellers?"

  1. Love the mansion, but the walk to the beach is too long, and it's a hike to the pool, too, so I will have to pass on buying it! But it is a beauty. The carriage house is cute and more my "size" - I certainly would not want to clean the mansion!

  2. Katie, I will be busy clicking away on your shared links! Breakfast for dinner is always a good idea, so good I think I will make a frittata or perhaps waffles tonight! Ooh, warm desserts are perfect. I haven’t had breakfast, maybe that is why I am all into the food pics! Have a lovely weekend~

  7. Well, now I'm hungry, wanting wine, dissatisfied with my house and coveting your dogs. I am buying a zillion Mr. R. stamps. Meeting him was one of the greatest moments in my life and yes, he was the nicest human being on the planet.

  8. I can't wait for the Mr. Rogers movie!! I love that his spirit lives on and that my grandchildren love the spinoff show Daniel Tiger. At the other end of the values spectrum, don't you think that Hamptons house would make a great location for an episode of RHONY meets RHOBH?

  9. That mansion is something else! I can't get over all that private beachfront!! Yes it is a hike from the house but it would help you look trim in your bikini ; ). I believe the Rockefellers still own & live on their estate in Pocantico Hills, NY (about 5 mins from my house). On Valentine's Day DD ordered pigs in a blanket; I was so jealous I couldn'tshare them. When my lobster tacos arrived all was right. Thanks for the Lent recipes (they look yummy). Bracing for more snow here. Take care dear Katie....xoxo, Dawn
