Hello and good Friday to you all. How was your week? Good? Are you ready for the weekend? Around here our weather cooled down into the pleasant 70s and 80s this week. Just gorgeous weather! I hope it stays this way. When the weather is this pleasant the garden especially the flowers love it! On the topic of flowers today I am sharing pictures of beautiful flowers I received on my birthday last week. Some arrangements were made by my twins with flowers from our garden. Others were delivered by friends. Each flower bouquet as original and beautiful as the ladies who gifted them. Enjoy this week’s Friday Flowers in an array of styles and colors.

Summer Birthday Brunch and Dinner. Menus Worth Replicating
Hello and a good Monday to you all. How was your weekend? Relaxing? Quiet? Busy? I hope you had a chance to not do anything for a bit. For us it was a very quiet weekend, and for me – it was a very relaxing weekend. That’s because it was my birthday last Friday and all I asked of my family is lunch and dinner to be taken care of and not by takeout 😝 . I also asked if I could celebrate my birthday for three days 😁 – Friday, Saturday and Sunday! I am happy to report the family obliged and treated me to homemade lunches and dinners and let me just relax all weekend long. I did some gardening, took long afternoon naps, read and browsed a lot 😁. I had a lovely brunch up in the veggie patch on Friday. Then in the evening the twins made dinner. It really was a perfect birthday and I couldn’t ask for anything more 🥰😘💕❤️ Continue reading Summer Birthday Brunch and Dinner. Menus Worth Replicating

Twins Surprise Virtual Grad Party 🎓🎓
Good Monday to you all! I hope you are having a relaxing holiday weekend (for those in the U.S. celebrating Memorial Day). I know it seems each day is blurring into another these days, as one of my friends put it “Feels like every day is a weekend, and every weekend is just another day.” Still its nice to know that on the weekend you don’t have to wake up early and get to work online. On our side we had a busier Saturday than we have had in the last three months. My twins graduated high school!! Continue reading Twins Surprise Virtual Grad Party 🎓🎓

Please allow me to share …
Please allow me to share a memory from yesteryear… a Spring Tea with my friends from last year. Every year in April three of my friends host a tea and brunch for their friends to celebrate spring, and this year the plan was to host it this week. The date was set and invites ready to go, but as you know the pandemic had other plans, and the event had to be canceled. However since this is the week that we were to have our annual Spring Tea I thought I would share some fond moments and fun pictures from last year’s soiree. Enjoy ☕️🌺🌸.

Twins 18th Birthday Celebration
Happy Monday!
How was your weekend? I trust it was relaxing and enjoyable? For us we had a busy Saturday and a relaxing Sunday. On Saturday we had a birthday party for our twin girls who turned 18 last week. They celebrated with their school friends in their own unique ways, but given that this is the last year they will be home for their birthday at least for the next four years, as they are heading off to college, I wanted to have a festive celebration at home too the old-fashioned way – with cakes and candles, family and close friends. Continue reading Twins 18th Birthday Celebration
