The Friday Files

 



I hope that all is well in your world.  Not too much new around here.  




I had an epiphany on the pickleball court.  We not only exercise our hot bods, but we also sharpen our minds. 
 

We play for 90 minutes.  Approximately 38 of those minutes are used at the net attempting to figure out the score or remember who just served less than a minute ago.  Luckily for me, the minds involved are a lot more astute than mine, so I strike a thoughtful pose and wholeheartedly agree with the final outcome.



The Mister handed me my mail with a big ol' smile on his face. I will pretty much take anybody up on a free meal, but I may pass on this one.

Barbecue?

An alternative to cremation? 



The Mister and I are off to see Downton Abbey today and grab a little lunch.  









Feast your eyes on this beautiful home in Rowayton, Connecticut, designed by Anna Burke and photographed by Jane Bieles.

Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus!
Santa came early to my house this week.  I received Edith-Anne Duncan's gorgeous book, Southern Sensibility in the mail.  Anyone who has been reading my blog and/or following me on Instagram knows that I am Edith-Anne's biggest fan.  She was my first honoree in my Designer of the Day series.  

  Southern Sensibility will be out on October 14, 2025.
You can preorder your autographed copy here.  
It makes a great hostess and Christmas gift.
