Checking In




Hello dear friends.  I'm just checking in.  I got back last night from Austin, Texas.  I spent the weekend there visiting my #1 and 96-year-old father.  We had a great time and the weather was absolutely beautiful.

I've got a lot of things going on this week so my posts will be sparse.  

I leave you with one of my favorite groups singing a darling rendition of Twelve Days of Christmas.










Happy Monday!

I'm Katie. Thanks for stopping by my blog. I am an empty nester meandering through my middle-aged years while entangled in the never-ending process of renovating an antique home on the South Shore of Massachusetts. I love to write about books, movies, TV, celebrities, decorating, and weekend adventures. My favorite writing material is derived from my family: the Mister, my girls, #1 and #2, and my two untrainable, rambunctious pups, Chowdah and Chili.

    Awe, 96 years old, how sweet! My Dad is 85 and I feel very blessed to still have him. I think we are all pretty busy right now and many of our blogs will be sparse in the days ahead. Always good to check in with you. Christmas blessings!
