The Friday Files

 


I hope all is well in your world.  Before I begin this post, let me answer the question that will be asked over and over again.  Yes, that is me in the above photo.  My apologies for looking fat.

This week, I met a few of my fellow picklers for a glass of vino at our village wine bar.  I made a rare confession to my lovely friends. My favorite part of the pickleball experience is the Happy Hours.  For some reason, no one was surprised.



Yesterday, the Mister went over to our #2 and Darlin' Will's new house to take care of some fix-it jobs.  I hitched a ride with him, and he dropped me off at my favorite diva-in-training's home for a playdate. 

BTW... those are my WW muffins that I have talked about for years!

Heather Dewbury, one of my favorite designers, whipped up her magic on the enchanting home on Sea Island.  Josh Youngner is the architect, and Emily Followill captured the home beautifully.

This lovely flight attendant thought she was auditioning for a safety video.  What she got turned out to be so much cooler.

  2. Two things: Love that bib with the crumb catcher! I could have used one in XXL for my hubby. Or maybe just a plastic tarp… And, the beach photo is you? More to the point-are you wearing anything? Thanks for a fun post.

  3. I clicked on your link the the WW muffins - and I then remembered that I used to make them after your recommendation back in the day. I got a kick out of that blog post cuz you mentioned your wish for a magic weight-loss pill. Well now there actually is a pill and millions of people are getting thin the pharmaceutical way.
