The Friday Files


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.


Today, we are headed to Dallas for babysitting duty, and we couldn't be more excited!  Lucy's wonderful Nanny has a terrible cold. 

 

This weekend brings a dinner party at one of my favorite couples' beautiful home and lunch with our Number 2 and Darlin' Will on Sunday.










This gorgeous Mediterranean home is a heart-stopper.







Take a look around this lovely Lake Geneva home.






Step inside Jennifer Garner's home, which was inspired by childhood memories.

  1. Would it be possible under your "what I'm watching" column to add beside the name, the service streaming it also? There are so many streaming options available and I do not have all of them (or rather I have a select few) so it would be so helpful to know which service provides the show you're recommending on the front end.
    Thank you

    1. Hit on trailer & it shows streaming service

    2. Hi! The other commenter is correct. The trailers almost always list the streaming service at the beginning or end of the trailer. There are way too many streaming services and so complicated. If I didn't have my Dir of Tech, otherwise known as the Mister, I would not be able to watch TV and develop a serious case of FOMO.

  2. JENNIFER GARDNER is the epitome of an ALL AMERICAN GIRL.She is lovely and has compassion and beauty all wrapped up in one package.She could be the AUDREY HEPBURN of TODAY!I thought she lived in Montecito but silly me of course she would have a house in L.A. as well.What a capture of the CAT MOOSE jumping off the kitchen counter!
    I have not heard from you in awhile.........sounds like your VERY BUSY!

    1. I agree... Jennifer Gardner is a class act. That tour is from a couple of years ago so you are probably right about Montecito. You didn't sign your comment so I'm not sure who you are. Have a great weekend!

  3. Too bad about the nanny's cold, my sister in law has a nanny from Indonesia and now her toddler is speaking Indonesian because he apparently thinks the nanny is his mom. I always figure if people have kids, they should not relegate parenting to the hired help.

    1. Why don't you do us both a favor... how about you unfollow my blog and take the time to teach your sister-in-law's kid English and I won't have to read your nasty comments anymore.

    2. Parents do what is right for them. No one else’s business. Also, I always figured if you have nothing nice to say don’t say anything. Rita

  4. Hi Katie,

    Your old FT. Worth blog friend here. I always enjoy your posts. Especially your wicked sense of humor, but of course there are so many other things you post that keep me coming back…..too long to list! I must admit I feel a tinge of jealousy reading about your perfectly glamorous life!
    Keep it the good work.

  5. You've been. Very busy gal!
    Jennifer Garner (hometown girl) lost bith her dad and her beloved golden Birdie this last year. She's all that you see. We just watched The Ordinary Life of Timothy Green last week. Omg, a tearjerker, but she's just as cute as ever.
    I started Matlock but drifted away. I can't figure out how they can keep the plot going beyond one season! I'm looking forward to Reacher's and Wednesday's return. We've been watching Special Forces and Deal or No Deal realities. And Will Trent, of course!
    Have a great week..we may actually see our grass again after 3 weeks of snow and ice!
