SURPRISE!

This weekend was totally out of the box.

Where was Kyle?

Clues...

I was in the land of...

 

 

Did you guess?

Minneapolis.

But the question remains, why?

I am lucky enough to have two friendships that each span over 55 years.

I met Karen when I started kindergarten and we have

remained friends ever since.

Janet and I have been friends since preschool. WOW!

 

 This year we all turned XX.

Karen's birthday is this week and one of her dear friends,

Cathryn, planned a surprise party for her.

Well, Janet jumped on a plane from Detroit and

I jumped on a plane from Denver and we both

came to the party!

And did we surprise Karen.

 Surprise!

Janet, Karen and Me

Needless to say, it was a wonderful

weekend, full of old memories

and new.

Two things to remember...

go outside the box once in a while and 

do something unexpected

and friendship is valuable.

Until Next Time-Kyle

Fabulous Friday

For today: 

Looking Out My Window: It's another beautiful morning in Colorado, a beautiful blue sky and bright sunshine.
 

My Weekend Plans Include: Lots of surprises.  I'll share later.

I’m Reading: My library holds have all come at once.  I'm still working on House Rules by Jodi Picoult, but I've also picked up two books by Janet Evanovich, Sizzling Sixteen and Hero at Large.

Movie Marquee:   This is Ed's weekend for his movies. Guy stuff.

Something Quiltie: I started hand quilting my antique Ocean Wave.  It's been awhile since I have just sat down and done some hand quilting.  It felt good to get back into the rhythm.  My philosophy has been do just a hoop a day.  Sorry to say, I might need to revamp my thinking.

I’m Thinking About: Elizabeth called with some good news this week, Don has scheduled his defense. That means he is almost through and will graduate in Dec. He'll officially be Dr. Don.  I'm proud of all my kids.

One of My Favorite Things: I splurged on a manicure and even a pedicure this week.  My poor extremities were so dry and in need of some pampering.  It felt good for someone else to take care of me.

What’s For Dinner: Everyone probably thinks I only eat turkey burgers, but they are perfect on a Friday night when I am tired.

A Favorite Photo:  

 Positano, Italy
Don't you wish we were on a plane heading there?

Until Next Time-Kyle

Everything is Peachy

I have peaches on my mind.

I picked up a box of peaches and

now I have to get busy and do something with them.

I've made a peach pie.

Thank you, Michelle, for your delicious recipe.

 

Frozen Peach Daiquiris', yum

Peach Salsa

Peach muffins and scones

The rest got peeled, sliced and put into the freezer.

That was fun.
I felt like I was on Iron Chef and peaches
were the secret ingredient.

Have a peaches and cream kind of day.

Until Next Time-Kyle
