Your furry friends clearly did not like that bed! I hope they have one more to their liking now! For my birthday I'll have a huge slice of chocolate cake with chocolate chip ice cream, and maybe some chocolate sauce and kahlua on top!

The look on their adorable faces is priceless. My favorite season is fall, and I do not mind winter. Living in the South we do not have it as bad as you do, in fact we were swimming in our pool in March of this year! Love the Pacific Coast Hwy and been fortunate to have driven it 3 different times. It is probably the most beautiful drive in the country, well, and also the Blue Ridge Parkway. I have been telling people I was almost 70 ever since I turned 60. Ha. They can't believe how wonderful I look. If I am blessed with my beautiful mother's genes I will be a very lucky lady. She will be celebrating her 85 birthday in December and she could pass for 70. She is the most beautiful, active, <br />kind and generous person I know.

I get a little nervous with flu season arriving with winter, other than that i love winter. I'm hot natured so I'm housebound in our triple digit summers. Lie about my age, why, it wouldn't work! I'd rather not think about that number because the rest of me feels so much younger! Love the pic of your very bad boys and I love the necklace you gave your hubby! I would love a tray of appetizers and a glass of really good wine......Happy weekend.The French Hutchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10028597144785773804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459018932772057756.post-83748937830641893102017-09-14T04:19:23.192-07:002017-09-14T04:19:23.192-07:00I am not a big fan of winter, and we get it with a...I am not a big fan of winter, and we get it with a vengeance. Husband hates it more than I do and wants to move to the Caribbean after we retire. Since my home seems to be in a constant state of renovation, I have just come to accept it rather than losing my mind. I don't lie about my age, but I am the oldest person at my work place at the age of 51! -Jenncoffeeontheporchwithmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17618627688821849806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459018932772057756.post-4771063337505523672017-09-14T03:59:39.078-07:002017-09-14T03:59:39.078-07:00ps hate winterps hate winterRita C at Panoplyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17351306074493103021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459018932772057756.post-14518710138535719332017-09-14T03:57:14.933-07:002017-09-14T03:57:14.933-07:00I can only remember lying about my age before I wa...I can only remember lying about my age before I was 18.<br />The trauma of the reno seemed to linger awhile afterwards for me/us....but it does fade over time.

November brings planning for gathering in the family and making memories. Ditto for December although that does take some serious planning so one does not become crazy, I mean overwhelmed. I can take January for about a week. I try to see snow as the most beautiful weather. Sparkling snow with a blue sky IS heavenly. Last winter I discovered the Danish concept of Hygge (hooga). It involves lots of candlelight, fireplaces, small meals shared with friends, twinkle lights, blankies, hot drinks and all things cozy. You always look so cute I am sure you are adorable in hats, scarves, mittens and puffer coats!Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14375905887372647865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459018932772057756.post-11992293459812286172017-09-13T14:58:25.634-07:002017-09-13T14:58:25.634-07:00I have never lied about my age.

The man here has been going to do the master bathroom for over 10 years now. I figure I can take a few more showers before the floor falls through. UGH.

That is lucky but I thinks its because I have good genes. <br /><br />I used to love winter, until I loved away from where it was 6 months long. Now I hunker down with books, movies, cocoa and magazine from the first flurry. In my neck of the woods we typically get 1 snowfall that cripples the area because we do not have many plows and they do not plow the side streets to include my neighborhood. <br /><br />I love the photos of the pups and the pillow. I think anyone that has had a dog has a photo like that. <br /><br />As for your birthday dinner, I love the idea of platters of all of the things you like! I might try that for my own birthday!<br /><br />Have a great day!Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acornshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044933540074342177noreply@blogger.com
