The Friday Files

 


 I hope all is well in your world. This week, I played pickleball on a different day, which totally threw me off.  The only day I could positively identify was when I almost wiped out our trash can in the driveway.  That is a weekly occurrence on Wednesdays.

 


Is anyone watching The Golden Bachelor?  

Let me rephrase this.  

Will anyone admit to watching the show?

  

My favorite episode in this franchise is when the bachelor meets the families of the final chosen ones.  If you relish awkward family moments, this episode is for you.

    Thanks for all the viewing recommendations. And I laughed out loud at the college mom instagram! I'm not watching the Golden Bachelor, but think the whole idea of midlife women competing on a dating show is kind of awkward and cringe. I can't imagine telling my grown kids that I'm going on the Bachelor! Hope you have a great weekend.

      Who cares what grown kids think, you should take the bull by the horns and go on the Bachelor. Tell those kids how it is, if you want to have a good time they'll just have to look the other way.

      If Tanya went on the Bachelor, never mind what the kids will think of it, I think Michael might have something to say about it. Rita

    We love Tracker! And we were huge fans of Blue Bloods so we definitely plan to watch Boston Blue.

    Catie is hilarious. I’ll be spending the next hour watching her reels. Must be something with the name Catie/Katie, both of you very funny. Rita

    Looove these spaghetti squash recipes. I liked reading side sleepers may have better brain function so that's what I'm running with this weekend ;) Did not know my heartthrobs Blake and Keith were starring in a new reality show so many thanks for clueing me in. Your reader is correct about all Caties/Katies being very funny including my own Katie! Happy weekend Katie KTG

    MSNBC and other news sites are reporting huge increases in pickleball related eye injuries, many serious. Folks need to wear protective goggles as a precaution.
