The Friday Files

Hello, dear friends.  Did you have a good week?  We are taking our #2 girl out for a celebration lunch and shopping today.  Her last day at her old company was Wednesday, and she begins her next chapter with a new job in two weeks.

I am counting the minutes until we close on the house on the 5th.  As I mentioned, we are making the actual move on the 19th because we are having some work done at the house.

Everyone, say hello to my friend, Amy from Coffee and Cocktails at the Casa and her pup, Ernie.

My 8-year chocolate lab is named Ernie.  

He comes running when he hears a string cheese being opened.  

He is a good boy!  

He enjoys both boating in the summer and playing in the snow in the winter.

Let's Go Shopping at The Mint Julep

 Hello, dear friends.  I hope that you had a good weekend.  Ours was busy with errands and shopping for the new house.

Last week, we drove to Rockwall, and I  got vaccinated.

This was how I felt when I walked out of the CVS.  And that wasn't even the best part of my day!

I have been following a darling shop, The Mint Julep, on Instagram for a while now.  You'll never guess where it's located... Rockwall!

Now that's what I call

Serendipity!

So, I took the Mister and my newly-vaccinated arm and headed over to check out The Mint Julep in person.

The minute I walked in the door, my heart began to pitter-patter.

I knew at that moment that the Mister was going to have to use the jaws-of-life to get me out of there. 

 

I had not done any fun shopping in over a year.

I had a lot of making up to do.

The prices are very reasonable.

How precious is this little lamb!

This is Tessa on the left with one of your fabulously helpful staffers.

If you live within driving distance of Rockwall, I suggest you stop by The Mint Julep.  If you live in another state, take a gander at their website, and you can also follow them on Instagram.

I may have walked out empty-handed, but I'm expecting a big delivery truck the day after we close.

I can't wait!

Until next time...

Chowdah incognito.
