I'm Katie. Welcome to my blog. I am an empty nester meandering through my midlife years one page at a time. We sold our antique home on the South Shore of Massachusetts in October 2020 and relocated to the Dallas suburbs and our forever home.
I love to write about books, movies, TV, celebrities, shopping, decorating, Bravo, and weekend adventures. My favorite writing material, however, is derived from my family: the Mister, my girls, #1 and #2, my favorite son-in-law, and my new little mischief-maker, thoroughly darling Millie. I love hearing from my wonderful readers.

Katie, is it okay if I think you have the funniest and most readable blog out there? I read many blogs to keep myself from doing housework but yours is the one I look forward to the most. I also like all the pretty pictures!
ReplyDeleteI bet the mister was the best dressed man there! I remember Charles Chips cans, do you? We always had a can of chips and a can of pretzels on the steps leading to the basement. Can't wait to see your needlepoint.
ReplyDeleteYou and I must be about the same height. ha! And I could not walk in those high heeled booties either. :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the needlepoint chair and it would take me 20 years to finish it. I had a few needlepoint projects going...and I should have finished them before I needed bifocals.

Oh, my,how interesting! Yes, one would have to be very careful where they sat. Entertaining post and the Mister sure looks cute!
ReplyDeleteLove the fair...I too am a sucker for succulents. When I was about 8 and my mother was planting some new gardens where there used be be a barn in our backyard (long story), anyway she said she was going to buy some hens and chicks for the garden. I literally thought we were going to have chickens. I was disappointed, but have loved having my own hens and chicks because of her.
ReplyDeleteI bet the Mister was the best dressed man at the fair! I DO think you should get that lamp for your sister...lol PLEASE GET IT!!!
ReplyDeleteI have an old pump organ sitting in my garage (in excellent shape) and I have been telling my son it would make a great BAR! NOW I have a picture to prove it. xo Diana
Your Mr. is looking quite fetching, what a good sport! We had one of those lobster pots, what did I do with it?
ReplyDeleteI expect that my children will be selling all of my needlepoint projects in flea markets one day! Looks like a great fair!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie! (Your puppy, I mean, although Mister looks nice too!) So nice to hear about Salisbury...growing up, that was our local beach. And yes the water was freezing! Looks like you had a great day up there.
