I hope that you had a wonderful weekend. Did your team win? We met our dear friends, The Adorables, for lunch on Saturday. On Sunday, we laid low and spent most of the day reading our books and watching a little bit of the Super Bowl.

I hope that you had a wonderful weekend. We lucked out with the weather and spent a good deal of time on the patio.
On Saturday, the Mister and I went to see a movie. He wanted to see some unknown film called Air with a cast of unknown names.

Welcome back to my blog! I hope that this post finds you well.
We are a little sad about our Horned Frogs, but oh well, there's always next year.
Here is a glance at our dream team. We are finally taking our tree down today while our eager helper, Millie, will be playing with all of her friends at camp. Chowdah will be assuming his usual post as security detail. And the Mister will be taking off the ornaments on the branches that are out of reach for me. That covers about 75% of them.

Hello, dear friends. How are things in your world? All is well here. The Mister took the day off, so we are getting some errands taken care of. I'm sure there will be lunch involved. Have I mentioned that the Mister is food-driven?
On Wednesday, I met my buddy, Lori for lunch. She is helping me design my new office. As you can see, we are working with a blank slate. Since the Mister will be retiring again soon, I want my new sanctuary done and fully equipped with a No Boys Allowed sign.

Hello, dear friends. I hope that you had a good weekend. We went out for dinner on Friday night with some friends and spent the rest of the weekend hibernating.
Yesterday, the Mister took the day off, and we had delicious lunch at one of my favorite spots, Brio.

Hello, dear friends. How was your week? Are you shopped out yet? Believe it or not, the Mister and I are headed back to the mall this weekend because I have more returns.
The weather has been crazy here, as most of the country.
This was taken Wednesday morning on my walk.
It was in the low 40's and misting.
Today it is supposed to be in the mid-80s.

Hello, dear friends. Are you ready for the weekend? I am. For the past few Fridays, the Mister has thrown together some apps for a little happy hour out on our patio. Instead of watching the news, we sit down with a glass of vino and actually talk and catch up. After the minute-and-a-half of listening to a recap of his week, I then hand over his ten-page honey-do list.
Have you ever had these?
They are positively sinful!

Hello, dear friends. Did this week whip by, or what? The beginning of the week brought lots of rain and chilly temps. It's finishing strong, though. Today and tomorrow promise to be nothing but sunshine. Sunday and all next week are a whole different story.
On Mother's Day, my #2 stopped by for lunch and brought me the loveliest arrangement. The Mister made salmon and a salad, which was positively delish. It was a delightful day, so we sat out on the patio. Our screens are arriving at the end of this month, and I can't wait.
Unfortunately, my #2 put a no photos sticker on the day. She did, however, take the new profile pic of moi for the blog sans mask.
Speaking of masks, are you as excited as I am that we don't have to wear those pesty masks anymore? I didn't mind wearing them half as much as remembering to put them on. The Mister and I are going out for dinner to celebrate tonight. I'm going to apply extra lipstick for the occasion.
Every time I think that I have opened the last box, I find another one. I spent a lot of my week driving back and forth to Good Will. I'm on a first-name basis with most of the guys now.
We have had a delightful young man with us painting the bookshelves. He is finishing up today and starting a couple of new projects next week for us.
Yesterday, Chili and I spent a lot of our time out on the patio for a couple of reasons. First, she has been having a few accidents in the house, and secondly, she likes to get up and personal with the painting supplies.
She tells me that she's supervising.
I say that she is micromanaging.
I finally broke down and bought some Wee Wee pads.
Unfortunately, Chili hasn't quite gotten the gist of it yet.
Here is a recap of what has been keeping me entertained lately.
A married couple is madly in love.
That's not the surprising part.
The husband disappears and leaves a note for his heartbroken wife, asking her to take care of his daughter.
A family dies on vacation, presumably by carbon monoxide poisoning. The only survivor is their college-age son, who is left to our the pieces together.
Hepworth is a favorite author of mine.
This story centers around two sisters that were brought up by a psychotic mother.
A gotcha twist at the end.
This was my pick on Amazon First Reads.
As with all of Rouda's books, I enjoyed it.
It was suspenseful to the bitter end.
Nobody does it better than Joe, the love-sick, sarcastic, charming, pathological killer. I found myself chuckling out loud at every one of Joe's clever, cutting quips.
I have loved all of Chanel Cleeton's novels, and this one is no exception. Her books are well-written with rich, colorful characters.
I just started reading this.
Interesting storyline.
I just started listening to this one.
I am hot and cold on this author, but this one seems like a winner.
I bought this one as an Audible Daily Deal.
Do you check the deals?
I do every morning and have ended up with some great buys.
Speaking of good buys, do you know about Chirp?
If you like audiobooks, check this site out.
Great deals and no membership fee.
It’s November 1991. George H. W. Bush is in the White House, Nirvana's in the tape deck, and movie-obsessed college student Charlie Jordan is in a car with a man who might be a serial killer.
Four famous siblings throw an epic party to celebrate the end of the summer. But over the course of twenty-four hours, their lives will change forever.
The Hunting Wives share more than target practice, martinis, and bad behavior in this novel of obsession, seduction, and murder.
Just finished this one.
Quirky but entertaining.
We finished our first episode last night and loved it.
I enjoy this one a lot.
I end up in tears at the end of every episode.
They get crazier by the minute.
I can hardly wait for this one.
Nicky Hilton is joining the cast.
If you missed SNL last week, watch this post quarantine conversation.
Priceless!
I loved the book, so I'm hoping the movie is just as good.
This fun show is back for another season.
This is on my gotta see list.
Jennifer's ex is quite the looker.
Season two begins this month.
I haven't seen Season 1, but it looks cute, so I'll give it a whirl.
Michael Douglas is reunited with Kathleen Turner in the final season.
*The trailer contains foul language.
Until next time...

Hello, I'm Katie
I'm Katie. Welcome to my blog. I am an empty nester meandering through my midlife years one page at a time. We sold our antique home on the South Shore of Massachusetts in October 2020 and relocated to the Dallas suburbs and our forever home.
I love to write about books, movies, TV, celebrities, shopping, decorating, Bravo, and weekend adventures. My favorite writing material, however, is derived from my family: the Mister, my girls, #1 and #2, my favorite son-in-law, and my new little mischief-maker, thoroughly darling Millie. I love hearing from my wonderful readers.
