All The Things

Hello! And Happy Friday! I hope your week was happy, healthy, productive, and cozy, of course. We had a wonderful week around here, because my best friend Heather and her husband Dave were here! I hadn't seen Heather since May, and we had lists of things to talk about! First, though, morning walking in October is the best.






We did all the things this week with Heather and Dave! We went shopping in our sweet little town that we call Stars Hollow. (For all you Gilmore Girls fans)



We visited Madison and Nicolas' house, where she made a delicious chocolate chip peanut butter pie.


We went to the spa with Madison and Kyrstin. We went shopping and then had lunch at the cutest cafe, which had a beautiful area outside with all the fall things.



We got dressed up and went to dinner, where I had the BEST salad ever! It was crabmeat, shrimp, lettuce, grape tomatoes, cucumbers, and avocado. And a fantastic peanut butter pie in a jar for dessert, which we shared.






We also sat on the porch and talked, sat on the couch and talked, watched four episodes of The Golden Bachelor, ate pizza, went to breakfast, and watched a movie. It was a wonderful visit and good for the soul. It is an extra special friendship when your best friend loves your entire family as much as they love her. 

Today's walk was earlier, but I didn't mind. 





Leaving you with a few fun autumn thoughts today...




Ok. I'll stop. Have a wonderful weekend, my friends. Whether it be going to a pumpkin patch, making soup, taking a walk, taking a nap, reading a good book, or watching a good movie, carve out some time for yourself. See what I did there? ; )

  11. It's so nice that you got to visit with your best friend this week. I would love to walk through a town that's just like Stars Hollow. That peanut butter pie looks scrumptious. Those Mums are so big and pretty. And I love the Autumn sweater you are wearing. Your morning walk looks so peaceful, and you met a little frog visitor along the way. ; )

  16. For some reason, this post reminds me of a day last week - it was perfect weather. I called a long distance friend and told her I wished she were here so we could spend the beautiful day together. It wasn't as good as being with each other in person, but I think calling her to tell her that must have been a lift. Their life was hard in the the moment, and I didn't realize that when I called. So glad you were able to enjoy such a great visit with your friend, Billie Jo.

  18. OMG. I LOOOOOOOOOOVE your sweater/jumper thingy. That is a hoot. What fun.

    Love that you got to spend such a wonderful time with your friend and I loved seeing Jamie Lee in the post. Our local movie house is re-releasing the original Halloween this season. Should be fun.

    I've not see GG but I've heard good things.
