The Friday Files

Preppy Empty Nester November 15, 2024

I hope that all is well in your world. Here in North Texas, we are waking up to nippy temperatures.

I took the above pic on our morning walk last week. The launching pad is near our little village, so we are treated to these pretty sites during the Spring and Fall.

I told you last week that the Mister did a beautiful job decking our halls. This week, he threw his magic into the outside decorating. Bravo Mister!!

Today, I am off to have lunch with a dear friend. Tomorrow, we are taking the family out to lunch to celebrate Adorable Jonathon's birthday. And you know what that means... it's Lucy time!

If you love color like I love color, take a tour of this magnificent Palm Beach estate designed by Kemble Interiors.

Joan Behnke whipped up her magic on Dr. Dre's stunning home.

If you are unfamiliar with Dr. Dre, you are in good company.

This gorgeous Florida home, designed by Renee Gaddis is a beauty. Click here to take the tour.

For those of you who appreciate old homes, this beauty is for sale, and here is the listing.

I found this article after I published my hostess gift guide. This gives you the exact recipe for the perfect gift for the host.

I got a frantic call from my #2 on Monday morning. She took Lemmy to a cookout, and she ate a grape. She did not have a reaction. How did I own dogs for 34 years and not know that grapes are toxic to dogs? The Vet recommended hydrogen peroxide to make her throw up. Here is a list of foods that are toxic to dogs. I am happy to report all is well in Lemmyland.

The Mister and I have a cruise in our future. It's my favorite mode of travel. This article debates the issue of the best place to book a cabin. Most of the time, we have had cabins mid-ship. We had a cabin in the back of the ship and loved it. It was quiet, and we had a large balcony.
