The Friday Files

 




How was your week?  Mine was fairly quiet.  The Mister was out of town, so Millie and I were in full command.  We left dishes in the sink until evening and then stacked the dishwasher willy-nilly.

I know you are grinding your teeth right now, Mister!





Our #1 came for a sleepover last night!  I have been shopping and stocking away some darling dresses for the little one.  I presented them to the Mama-to-be and felt like I had hit a home run.  Mama Bear loved them all!  The above is one of them.  We ordered pizza, and my girl spent the night.

I think the Mister was kind of jealous.  But I reminded him that he will see the girls and AJ on Sunday.  We will be celebrating AJ's birthday in Dallas.

If you're looking for a fun, uplifting account to follow on Insta, I highly recommend @tandttwintalk.  They are twins, over 50, and both breast cancer survivors.  They post two outfits of the day - one is budget-friendly, and the other not so much.

Last but certainly not least, I want to thank each and every one of you for taking the time to read this silly little blog of mine.  You make my day with your sweet emails and comments. I have been so fortunate to meet many of you in person.

I wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with love and laughter.

  2. Although I have followed your blog for many years, I’ve never commented. I just want to tell you how much I enjoy your blog. I love your sense of humor, hearing about your family and the antics of your dogs, your gorgeous home, book reviews and sales. I could go on and on. You will thoroughly enjoy being a grandmother. That little girl will win your heart. I’m happy for you. I’m looking forward to many more posts and, of course, pictures of your granddaughter. Happy Thanksgiving!
