The Friday Files





I hope all is well in your world.  The Mister and I have been getting back into our old rhythm after being away.  Routine is our love language.
 



I had lunch with some dear friends.  We went to Rick's in our town square, and the service and food, as always, were incomparable. This was my delicious Watermelon Salad.



The Mister and I are off to a get-together for our little village tonight, and tomorrow we are off to the movies.

Take a wild guess who chose the movie.

Take a look at this 19th-century home in France designed by Franz Potisec and photographed by Simon Brown. 




Are you thinking of updating your brick home? 
Here's how.






This is why I am consuming four prunes a day, and it's not what you think.






Do you feel like you are in a constant battle with your weeds?
Never fear, the Perennials are here.








Is your iPhone a secret hoarder?  Here is how to identify the problem and how to fix it. 








Do you use ChatGPT?  If you feel that some of the answers need fine-tuning, you might want to rephrase the question.







If you have ever hosted a garage sale, you are going to love this thoughtful, humorous essay.

Many of you asked me where I got the green dress I wore on the cruise.  They don't have many left.  It's not on sale, but it's at a reasonable price, and it's well-made.








I've also gotten some cute dresses from this site.

    I have been eating 4 prunes with my breakfast for decades - I am ahead of the curve. I will drag an unsuspecting date to the Devil Wears Prada movie soon. I love Chatgpt for a variety of reasons!

    I'm hopping on the prune train ~ You had me at strong bones. Oh I'm praying the Prada sequel is wonderful like the first one, such great star power. If I win the lottery anytime soon I want a house just like the 19th century Normandy cottage on your House Tours! Classic Whimsey is the sweetest! Thank you Katie KTG
