The Friday Files




Hello, dear friends.  I hope you had a good week.  
All is well around here.  
We've been dealing with freezing temps but no snow.




Our girl, Millie, has quite the green paw.  She has been helping us by pulling out all the dead flowers in our little garden.  She then likes to bring them into the house to show me what a good job she's been doing.  She is off to camp today to work off some of her youthful exuberance.



Has anyone read this?  
I started it yesterday, and I'm really enjoying it.

  2. I remember loving Frances Schultz’s column in House Beautiful about Bee Cottage. So interesting reading about her new life in California! I also was fascinated with the bedroom picture of the gorgeous canopy attached to two ceiling beams… very clever!
    Love your posts!

  3. This was a great post, as always! I read that article about things you don't have in your house anymore and remembered pretty much all of them. Is it bad that I still use that same kind of peeler? Enjoy your weekend! -Jenn

  9. Oh, how I love these Friday files! I just brushed up on the Gen Z slang. What's funny is when I use one of those terms and then have to have class for Mr. P. And those familiar items from the house 30 yrs ago? I jus them to the antique mall booths now, lol. Gonna go check out the houses next. Have a great weekend.

  15. Millie is just too cute! Shared the pantry staples on my FB page!
    That list of shows and please make the K family stop. I mean why don't they start a show with middle age empty nesters who will provide endless commercials for Progressive. It's chilly here too! Of course, Chloe and Elliott are outside lounging in the snow #berners

  19. A few months ago, I felt so depressed, I got frustrated with bad credits, but then I contacted HACK VANISH by phone: +1 (747) 293-8514 and email: HACK VANISH (@) GMAIL. COM. I found out about hack vanish services through positive reviews read on some credit blogs, in a blink of an eye this great hacker restored my credit score from 509 to 784 in all 3 major credit bureaus, they got removed evictions and foreclosures, my LexisNexis and Chex system was repaired respectively, a few days later I received an email confirming the approval of my mortgage loan, it was quite surprising because I never thought it was possible. Today, I can confidently say that 2021 was a banner year for my husband and I as we now own a new house and a new SUV courtesy of HACK VANISH, I would definitely recommend him to anyone in need of a genuine Hacker.
