We are also empty nesters with...a formerly little Golden Doodle named Lola who turned 2 this summer! Best part is that she is crème color and looks just like Chowdah...when I see that Chow has done something goofy it's like deja vu and I crack up because it's MUCH funnier when it's someone else's Doodle :-) I enjoy seeing what you've done with your home, your beautiful family, travels, and especially the gorgeous food that your husband makes, would you consider sharing recipes for any of those yummy feasts?

A lifetime ago I lived in Boston when I worked as a flight attendant! I have lived in Houston for the past 30 years and am a partial empty nester; daughter in grad school, son a senior in high school (college app stress) and a daughter just starting high school. Look forward to your posts and great stories. I'm also following you on Instagram.

I am a blog writer and had never given that extra piece much thought. That said, I wanted to chime in on the 'conversation' and I know Katie you will agree with me. As blog writers we love comments, we read each and everyone and it tends to be our barometer for writing. Comments keep us going! Thanks for letting me chime in here. Loved this post Katie!<br />xx, Heather @ Stylemindchic LifeAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17032908426814046368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459018932772057756.post-51139307160967190942014-09-19T09:10:39.987-07:002014-09-19T09:10:39.987-07:00These comments are making me laugh.
