The Friday Files

Hello, dear friends.  I hope that you had a good week.  Mine was very good - I had a couple of catch-up lunches with some good friends.  I also finished all my yearly medical tests, in which I received shining stars which is always a relief.

Personalized Gift Ideas

Hello, dear friends.  I hope that you had a good weekend.  It seems so far away now for some reason.  Saturday, the Mister and I went out for a delightful lunch and topped it off at one of my favorite stores, The Mint Julep.  I snapped some photos for your viewing pleasure.

Home Tour/Take 2

Hello, dear friends.  I hope that you had a good week.  Mine was chockfull of technical challenges.  I spent a good part of Tuesday morning at the Apple store with a nineteen-year-old genius.  My iPad would not charge.  Genius told me that they will have to send it away to have it analyzed. I inquired as to how much a new one would be.  Genius told me that they could swap it out for $499.00.  I said ok, and she broke the news to me that I couldn't do that until it made its way to California to have some more geniuses inspect it.  The reason, Genius told me, is that they have to make sure that it isn't counterfeit.  

I know that I didn't look my best that day, but I didn't think I looked shady.

And to top things off, I am sitting here with a frozen phone with another appointment with a genius.

Oh well.  Let's get on with the tour...

  

Prime Time

Hello, dear friends.  Did you have a good weekend?  Ours was very relaxing.  The weather has been picture-perfect so we spent a lot of time out on the patio.  

Friday evening, we had some neighbors over for a happy hour.  The Mister whipped up some delicious snacks for us to nosh on.

Hello, dear friends.  I hope that you had a good week.  Mine was pretty good, although I'm feeling a bit sleep-deprived.  

Miss Millie has been having some tummy troubles.  I will spare you the details, but I will share that she has been getting me up two or three times a night.  Millie does not wake us with a whimper.  She prefers a high-pitched squeal that can induce a migraine within seconds.  Meanwhile, the Mister is a master at playing possum.  

Fall Door Decor

 Hello, dear friends.  I hope that you enjoyed your weekend.  As I mentioned in Friday's post, we celebrated our #2's birthday.  I wish I had some pics of the guest of honor, but my girl is camera-shy when it comes to her Mom's blog.  

I should have given birth to a Kardashian.

Lucky for me, I have these two.

Sometimes they even look into the camera!

But not when there is food around.

The Friday Files

Hello, dear friends.  Did you have a good week?  All is well here.  I'm proud to say that Millie is 99% potty trained.  I don't want to say 100% because I may jinx it.  

This weekend, our #2 and Chowdah are spending the night.  It is our girl's 28th birthday on Saturday, and we asked her if she wanted us to take her out for a nice dinner.  She said that she would rather have her dear old Dad make dinner.  He couldn't be happier.  He had the menu written within minutes.

But the most excited of all of us is this little girl who loves Chow more than anything.  I can't say the feeling is mutual, but I have high hopes for some bonding moments over the weekend.

First on the docket is this beauty in Maine.
