Absolutely devastating. (I shall not sully this by telling you that my hubby and I would have celebrated our 26th last year. No, and I also don't want to get Burt upset. He does get jealous so easily.) So. Onwards. I made a bucket of puppy chow and while my jaws are aching and I'm 18 pounds heavier, I'm ready to investigate George and Amal's new cottage. I'm a wee bit concerned that there might just not be quite enough room for the twins but their parents do have incomes that could accommodate a wee reno or two. How clever of you to include Martha's kitchen reno tips. Now all I need to make me feel really better is for you to post a pic or ten of you and the mister in matching outfits. Golly, it'll be like the Sound of Music all over again. How're your singing voices?Kelly L McKenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649279572727703824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459018932772057756.post-79637317619076242542017-03-10T15:49:03.460-08:002017-03-10T15:49:03.460-08:00As usual, you brought some insight and amusement i...As usual, you brought some insight and amusement into my day. Be sure to give us an update on the mister's latest outfits. I think you should definitely start with the black and white checks.

I can't close without commenting about the cute little couple and their matching outfits. The husband and I have been married 26 years as well. His closet/bath is upstairs, mine is downstairs. When he comes down all ready to go out and about, and I emerge from my chrysalis (a/k/a my bath dressing room) inevitably we match. So weird... It is never planned -- it just happens.

Costa Rica is on my near horizon and that will be a new kind of adventure. Thank you for sharing this link to Amy Rosenthal's essay. Beyond touching...what a gift she is giving to her husband and family.

I did a little further research on Amy Rosenthal, the writer who is suffering from cancer, and the love story of her and her husband Jason. Amy has been inspirational to Malcom Mitchell, NFL player for the Patriots, he shares a message to her. It just shows how impactful we all are. And now after drying my tears from her inspirational article, I too will try to have even a small impact-----Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07911487351928734068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459018932772057756.post-64818969092391763812017-03-10T07:41:29.222-08:002017-03-10T07:41:29.222-08:00oh Katie, so many goodies here!

While I'm paying attention, it seems my workers sometimes forget #6 and 7. Whew boy, Rosenathal's profile for her husband....and what a guy! Speaking of guys, I always find it hilarious when mine and I start our day like that cute couple you mentioned. I guess it just happens after living together so long....:)<br />Hope your weekend includes some R&R along with the busy-ness.Rita C at Panoplyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17351306074493103021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459018932772057756.post-38271417295193830932017-03-09T22:51:11.476-08:002017-03-09T22:51:11.476-08:00Thanks so much for all of the links, Katie.
