The Friday Files

 



I hope all is well in your world.  In case you are wondering, it is still hot here.  My two favorite seasons in Texas are Fall and Spring, so I have high hopes for lower temps.

It looks like the Northeast is in for a mother of a storm.  
Stay safe - I will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.
  



Today is my #2's birthday!  We won't be celebrating until mid-month because she is traveling in India and Singapore for business.

Our #2 was born in California. When we arrived at the hospital, I was put on a gurney out in the hall because there were no rooms available.  I asked the nurse why it was so busy.

She looked at me like I was crazy.  
She answered it's nine months from Christmas Day!
  


So that's what he got that Christmas!



Millie's week wasn't a very good one.  
The Mister took her for her checkup and texted me.
The poor girl was fat-shamed by her Doc.  
I texted back...
Did you tell him that she is big boned?

This answers the age-old question... is cottage cheese worth the hype?

I hope so because I eat it twice a day.

This is an interesting take on raising children through a grandfather's eyes.





I can identify with this article, "Survival of the Friendliest."  I like my picklebuds a lot more than the actual sport.
Don't tell them I said this.






Amen, Sister!





Last, but not least, hop over to my buddy Kate's blog.

  3. I'm looking forward to the new Great British Bake Off.
    I'm still waiting for the big, baggy to trend to end - at least it's saving me money on clothes.
    9 of the 10 most common birthdays fall on or between Sept 9th and Sept 20th... I don't remember having much relaxation time right before Christmas

    1. I watched it last night. Nigella is an interesting choice. I miss Pru and her colorful outfits. Interesting statistic about birthdays! Have a great weekend!

  4. No. 2 and Fiancée are such a handsome couple. Happy birthday to No. 2 your beautiful daughter today. I am sure you will be celebrating in a very special way when she arrives back home from her International travels. She must have a great job with lots of responsibilities.
    Your beautiful Millie hopefully did not hear her bring fat shamed. I refer to it as bulky. I have an aversion to the word “fat” it sounds mean to me. Bulky has a much nicer ring to it right?

  6. Yet another thing we have in common ... well almost, Sis. My number two was born on Sept 26 ... same day as Francine. When was your mom's birthday?

  7. Wow! This has been a great blessing in my life. Knowing Dr. Odumeje has been one of the best things that has ever happened to me. My lover came back to me after I reached out to him for help. He helped remove the negative influence of a third party that was affecting our relationship. Today, my husband loves me again, and our relationship has been restored. I am truly grateful for the support and guidance I received during this difficult time. Thank you, Dr. Odumeje, for helping bring happiness back into my life. I highly recommend reaching out to him.
