The Friday Files




I hope all is well in your world.  Happy National Take A Walk in a Park Day!  Who knew there was such a day? 

This week, I was the captain of our ship. The Mister was out of town, so Millie and I were in charge. We went a little crazy. I left the dishes in the sink for over two hours, clean dishes were left in the dishwasher for several hours, and Millie declared the Mister's chair hers.
 

On Wednesday morning, I got a call from our #1, who works at home.  She told me that Nanny was sick and she had a lot of work calls to make.  

She said, "Would you mind..."  
   



I didn't even listen to the rest of the sentence.  I was on my way.

Number #1 met me at the door with a big smile. 
 



Someone was not convinced that I was up to the task. 

I am happy to report that it all worked out. 
I didn't lose Lucy or drop her. 
We had a great time.  
Or at least I did. 
Lucy tells me the jury is still out.















Designer Libby Smith helped her parents redecorate her childhood home in Rye, NY.














Gretchen Farrell designed this gorgeous farmhouse for her best friend.








For those of you who love antique homes, this stunner is for sale in lovely Newport, Rhode Island.







If you live by these 5 rules, you won't need a lot of money. 







If you love a Caesar salad, you'll get a kick out of this piece.






I don't know about you, but when we travel, I can never fall asleep the first night.  Now I know why.








Does your dog run your life?  Here are some signs that they do.





This is a public service announcement not a paid advertisement. I've been taking one medication for a few years.  It costs $90.00 for a three-month supply with insurance.  
Last month, the Mister changed my prescription from the pharmacy to Amazon, and the cost for the same amount was $25.00 with no insurance.  Btw... it was cheaper without insurance.

Check it out here.

I just bought these jeans in petite, and they fit like a glove with just enough stretch.  This is an awful pic of them. 



This is the color of them.

  1. Lucky you to have a 'Lovey/Lucy Day' 🩷 Nothing is better than that! Your article made me laugh at just how much and to what extent, we let our furry friends dictate our daily routines. Guess this makes me a certifiable dog nut! Excited to watch Knife Edge now that we have a chef in the family. Happy Weekend Lovey!

    1. Helloooo KTG!!! That dog item hit it right on the nose! I'm excited to see Knife Edge too. Unfortunately, after a few minor mishaps, I am not allowed to use kitchen knives. xx

  2. How special that you live close enough to Lucy to spend the day with her on the spur of the moment! No doubt that #1 was appreciative and you and Lucy had fun. The bric a brac clip was hilarious partly because it is so true!! Going towatch the trailers for tv because we finished Black Doves last night.Just finished lunch at Bar Sardine which I learned about on your blog. Melissa

  3. Today is also National Handbag Day! Quick, get online and get one before the Mister returns!
    Thanks for the heads up on the Diplomat. I don't watch a lot of tv, but that's one I definitely do!
    I bought the travel jeans you posted from Talbot's weeks ago, and my gf bought 2 pair! I love them, and found another really cute pair in the store that look a lot like the Loft ones you posted today. Keep the hits coming! Thanks, and have a great weekend.
