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?

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.

ReplyDeleteWow! I've used a lot of SR products but haven't used this. After reading your comment I promptly ordered it. Ulta still has some. Thank you for officially influencing me! Have a great weekend.
DeleteSouthern Sensibility looks like a great book and what a coincidence - it’s what they used to call me when we’d Barbecue - just before the funerals. - Is that the weirdest invitation or what? Other than the dinner - everything else is lovely as usual and I will spend the next few minutes (or hour) clicking down the beautiful trail of internet happiness. - Hope you have a joyful weekend!
ReplyDeleteStarted watching The Girlfriend this week - oh my goodness, I LOVE it! We're off to see Downton Abbey tonight, cannot wait!

DeleteI’m so happy you are back after your Summer break! Now I know what to watch , what to look for. I love Nate Bargatze too
ReplyDeleteHe's good clean fun!
DeleteI binge watched The Girlfriend this weekend as a diversion from the awfulness in the news. I quite enjoyed the series. The only real criticism is that the music tracks used were dreadful and distracting. With each episode I keep asking myself if people really create such ick. Despite the music, two thumbs up.
