The Friday Files

 

First of all, I want to extend my thoughts and prayers to the people in Helene's path.  We've lived through a couple of hurricanes, and they have been pretty scary and devastating.  

This week I caught up with an old tennis buddy and also had lunch with two dear friends in the 'hood.  The Mister and I also popped down to Dallas to take our #2 out for her birthday.  We went to a new spot to us, Goodwins.  It had great food, superb service, and lousy parking.

Bonjour South of France

 

I hope that you had a wonderful weekend.  We caught up on our sleep.  I whined to told the Mister that I was still battling jetlag, and he gave me an apathetic eye-roll. It's his love language. 

Here is the rundown of our fabulous vacation in the South of France.  My buddy and travel advisor extraordinaire, Sandy Grodsky, meticulously planned every detail. She worked with the Mister by giving us choices of hotels, restaurants, and excursions.  

The Friday Files

 

 

Welcome back!  Are there any known cases of someone dying of jetlag?  It's been a few years since I experienced it. Like everything else in life, it worsens with age. 

 

Okay, I used up my quota for whining.  I've got to save some for the Mister.

If you missed my Instagram stories, we were enjoying gorgeous weather and magnificent food in the South of France.  A recap post is headed your way next week. I am happy to report that our vacation was smooth as silk, thanks to our friend and travel advisor extraordinaire, Sandy Grodsky. But more about that in next week's post.

Summer Reading

 

First of all, I want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for welcoming me back.  I answered almost everyone on the comment page.  I then realized that my own comments were coming up as Anonymous.  I brought in my top tech expert, the Mister, who saved the day.

I was originally going to post a Friday Files today, but so many of you asked for my book recommendations.   I did it quickly, so please forgive the more-than-usual typos.

I also included the dress links that many of you have asked for, as well as a couple of other dresses that you may like.

My Summer In Photos

 

I hope that you had a wonderful Summer. Any season where our family members are happy and healthy and still speaking to each other is always a good one in my eyes.    

We watched some great TV shows and read a lot. I have two posts coming your way soon.  We also attended and hosted a few fun happy hours and enjoyed some lunches with friends. 

If you do not relish hearing about other people's vacations, perusing photos of the most beautiful baby in the world, or don't believe in child labor, you might want to check out now and return on Friday.
