Good Monday morning, my friends! We spent the weekend at the condo celebrating Steve's Birthday! We came over after mass on Saturday, and on Sunday morning, we went to lunch at the cutest little town near here. It is like Amity from Jaws merged with Stars Hollow from Gilmore Girls. And I loved it.
Then, it was back to the condo for Steeler football. Or, as I call it, an afternoon nap. Afterward, we went down and sat on the beach. Late afternoon/early evening is my favorite time to be there. Nothing but waves and water and peace and quiet. And, yesterday, this little guy.
He literally stood beside me the entire time. Creepy.
We ended Steve's special day with pizza, presents, ice cream, and candles, singing Happy Birthday. And to show you that we don't always take ourselves seriously...
Happy Birthday to the guy that keeps all of us happy.
And then, with an evening of football watching with the guys ahead of him, I headed off with these two for some Alfred Hitchcock Presents. This morning, I am going to swim, shower, and have lunch before we head back to the house so I can finish up Flynn's schoolwork for Wednesday!
Lastly, I want to share the link to my friend Leslie's YouTube Channel! It is called The Cozy Yellow Cottage, and it is just that—all things cozy. Her latest video is all about her fall kitchen decor. To visit her, just click HERE. Enjoy!
Have a lovely Monday!
Thank you for spending some of it with me.

Belated best wishes to your husband. Have a great week. It is off to a good start!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Steve, and Happy Monday to you!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday, Billie Jo! And happy birthday wishes to your husband. It looked like he had a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a great celebration. Happy Birthday to Steve! Looks like a lovely place to stay.
ReplyDeleteYour golden room is so beautiful! And so is the wonderful photo of the both of you! I LOVE your friend's video!! It gave me so many ideas! I am going to watch it again, slower, when I have more time. She is a talented decorator and there are so many cute things to see.
ReplyDeleteI so enjoyed the video.. So fun watching your friend decorate and add each item by item. Happy Birthday late wishes to Steve. Sounds like he enjoyed a nice relaxing birthday weekend. A swim sounds nice, however we have some much cooler temps here today. Thanks Billie jo for always posting such positive post. By the way....My youngest granddaughters middle name is Jo... So many of her friends call her Mylee Jo instead of just Mylee. Have a fun and interesting week.
ReplyDeleteOh my, what a blessing for your Steve and you to spend a weekend at a beautiful place. I miss the beach. Happy belated Birthday to your hubby. And that little dog! Is he a Yorkshire or a Silky Terrier. He looks like my Mandy who has now crossed Rainbow Bridge. Have a lovely week.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a wonderful weekend of celebrating Steve! So glad he had candles in the ice cream. Cute!
ReplyDeleteBelated Birthday wishes to Steve. Xx
ReplyDeleteSounds like a wonderful weekend and Happy Birthday to Steve! Blessings to him always. I'm not sure if the Steelers won for him - but sadly the Packers didn't for us. I hope Steve's team had better luck!
ReplyDeleteLove the beach photos always. And that town did look so charming!! Maybe the Seagull was an old friend come back to say hi? Lol
I will definitely check out the cozy yellow cottage! I love vlogs like that :)
Blessings. xo
Happy Birthday to Steve.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures.
Happy Birthday to Steve! What a nice birthday he had. I smiled when you mentioned the town resembling Gilmore Girls. That's always a reference in my house, and have always wanted to walk the streets of Stars Hollow, where every season is a BIG thing. By the way, they have four episodes of The Gilmore Girls with the four seasons! We just watched Fall. That beach town you visited even has a gazebo. I'm off to check out The Cozy Yellow Cottage. Thanks for the link. Oh, and I love your window photo with the sun coming through. It's really pretty.

She is a very creative decorator, and she has a lot of great ideas. I've always loved the farmhouse style. The video was inspiring, and I also sent it to my sister, as she really likes this style too. : )
DeleteHi Billie Jo! Happy birthday to Steve! Sounds like he had a very nice birthday. I hope you have a cozy week. P.S. I checked out The Cozy Yellow Cottage! Nice decorating ideas! See you again soon!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Steve! We already knew you didn't take yourself too seriously. :) That's a good thing.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like the perfect weekend.
Your little beach buddy is so cute! Haha! I'm so glad y'all had such a nice weekend celebrating Steve!
ReplyDeleteWhat an absolutely beautiful place!! The wave photos are so great!! Happy birthday to hubby! I really enjoyed your post and your photos!! Have a blessed week ahead!!
ReplyDeleteLove those wave photos! And, Happy Birthday to Steve!
ReplyDeleteI glad Steve has another year in his life and with you, family and friends!! Nice post you made. I take a lot of wave photos as well when on the beach. It may rain tonight and I hope so as it's overdue. Less smoke in the air which is a good thing. I need to go take a nap as I am tired and still recovering from allergies. No med for it since Sunday which gives me a bit more energy. Hugs and blessings to you , Becky
