The Friday Files

I hope that all is well in your world. If I could describe this week in one word, it would be soggy.  We have had some wicked rainstorms.  It did not dampen our spirits, however.

Reading Round-Up

 

I hope all is well in your world. I was so sad to hear about Pope Francis. He was so loved and an inspiration to all. 

If you haven't seen Conclave, I highly recommend it.  The film does a beautiful job explaining the inner workings of electing a new pope.  

Easter Sunday turned out to be a gorgeous day.  We spent it at Lucy's house.   Our dear friends, Adorable Jonathan's parents, and Darling Will were also in attendance.

I hope all is well in your world.  No complaints here.  I am very excited for Easter - we are headed to Lucy's house.

The Mister's Prime Buys

I hope all is well in your world. As I mentioned on Friday, we went to see The Amateur, and believe it or not, I really liked it. It was full of suspense, and the acting was top-notch.

I hope that all is well in your world.  The Mister and I have gotten a lot of use out of our patio - the weather has been gorgeous.

Trailer

Today, we are off to the movies and lunch. Today is the Mister's choice. I'm pretty sure there will be a lot of loud chase scenes, so I'll have to pack my earplugs. 

Suits & Cover Ups

I hope that all is well in your world.  The Mister arrived home safely on Saturday.  We spent the rainy weekend catching up on our TV shows and reading.

I hope that all is well in your world. The Mister has been out of town, so Millie and I have been living like two wild and crazy sorority girls.

I hope that all is well in your world.  We had a delightful weekend.  Friday night, we had dinner with one of our favorite couples. 

The Friday Files

I hope all is well in your world.  I had a busy week.  I met my friend, KariAnne, for a delightful lunch. Yesterday, the Mister and I did some furniture shopping and had an okay lunch at Cheesecake Factory. 

Dressin' Up

 

I hope all is well in your world.  The weather has been positively gorgeous here in North Texas.  The Mister and I have spent a lot of quality time reading on the patio.  I like to think of it as cardio for the eye muscles.

I hope that all is well in your world.  Happy Spring - one of my two favorite seasons in Texas.  

All Aboard Regent Seven Seas Grandeur

I hope all is well in your world. If you are one of those people who love to hear about other people's vacations, this post is for you.  If not, I'll still love you and see you on Friday.

A couple of weeks ago, the Mister and I took an eleven-day cruise.   We always like to arrive a day early to our departure.  The cruise line offered a package deal with a one-night stay at the Ritz Carlton Key Biscayne, Miami. It included breakfast and a bus trip to the pier.

I hope that all is well in your world.  Yesterday, the Mister and I crossed some errands off the list and had a nice lunch at PF Changs. Nobody loves Chinese food more than the Mister.  

By the way, thank you all for your lovely comments on the Mister's recipe post.  It worked.  He agreed to do some more recipe posts.

The Mister's Nest Kitchen

I hope all is well in your world.  I have been blogging for thirteen years and there is one request from my readers that has remained constant.

  

When is the Mister going to give us some recipes?

The Friday Files

 

I hope all is well in your world.  Are you ready to lose an hour this weekend?  I am in the minority but I don't care for the time change.  We are early to bed/early to rise people and I feel guilty heading to bed when it is still light out. 

I told the Mister in protest that I would not be setting my watch for the time change.

He said good luck with that.

Now, for a bit of housekeeping: Many of you asked for links to Miss Lucy's Birthday Bash.

Prime Time

 

I hope that all is well in your world. We had a picture-perfect day to celebrate Miss Lucy's first birthday.  Her backyard was a sea of pink with pretty tables, a baby bouncehouse which was a big hit, a well-stocked bar and a taco/quesadilla bar.

The Friday Files

I hope all is well in your world.  It's a big day for our family.  It is Lucy's first birthday!!

Thanks to our baby Lucy, life has been full of smiles this past year.  It has been so much fun watching her develop her sweet, funny personality as she hits her milestones.

Once Upon A Hodgepodge

I hope all is well in your world.  The Mister and I had a wonderful time on our cruise and I look forward to telling you all about it in the coming weeks.

Today, I am linking up with my friends from Hodgepodge, where we answer Joyce's thoughtful questions on her blog, From This Side of the Pond.

The Friday Files

 

I hope that all is well in your world.  The Mister and I have been busy getting organized. It's that time of year again.  I am renewing my Supermodel Trophy Wife license. I will be out-of-pocket for the next couple of weeks.  Stay tuned to Instagram where I will be posting some pics.  Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to figure out where I am. 

Half the time, I don't know where I am, so I would appreciate the input.

Back In The Hodgepodge Seat

I hope all is well in your world. I have linked up with my old friend, Joyce, for her Hodgepodge link party.  For those of you who are new here, Joyce from From This Side of the Pond comes up with hard-hitting questions for bloggers. We bloggers publish our answers on our blogs.  We then go to Joyce's page and enter our link.  It's always fun to see how my fellow bloggers answered the questions.

I hope that all is well in your world. After some cold and wicked thunderstorms this week, today's forecast is sunny and may reach the upper sixties.  The Mister and I are crossing some errands off our list and rewarding ourselves with a nice lunch.

Designer of the Day Prudence Bailey

I hope that all is well in your world.  As I mentioned on Friday, the Mister and I were called in on babysitter duty.  I am happy to report that we passed with flying colors.  We were so diligent that we neglected to take any pics.

I hope all is well in your world.  No complaints here.  I had a delightful lunch at Capital Grille with my pal, Melissa.  I am so grateful for all the wonderful friends that I have made through this blog.

Reading, Watching, and Listening

 

I hope all is well in your world.  I can't complain about the biting temperatures because Al Roker tells me the entire country is experiencing cold weather.
