FRIDAY FRAGMENTS & FOUR FILL IN FUN

This has been a very busy week. I was out for lunch on both Monday and Tuesday. I had a wonderful time catching up with my friends and sharing our summer stories. Wednesday was my day with the grandchildren. We had a lot of fun and I went to bed by 9:30pm. While I was out DH managed to strip the dining room table as well as fill the gutters with a new guard he picked up at Home Depot.

I got a bag of books and I am looking forward to reading some more although I miss being able to sit outside and read in the sunshine.

We are looking forward to a fun weekend. I have a fashion show to attend. My sister B is going to be one of the models. Her husband J is going to take pictures. We also have a dance on Saturday night to kick off our new dance sessions. We hope to improve on our Argentine Tango.

I got a little more blogging in this week. I was able to visit with Heather at actingbalanced as well as fromthissideofthepond for Wednesday Hodge Podge. Of course it was Pondering with Brenda on Thursday. I also participate in Six word Saturday and Sunday in the City. If you haven’t seen these bloggers you should try a visit sometime.

Have a great weekend everyone.

This week’s co-host is ELIZABETH from SILVERS BOOK REVIEWS – she came up with the last two statements:

The statements:

I am happy to be retired and can spend time with my grandchildren.
I don’t like to drive alone especially on long trips.
Would you appear on a TV show if you could?
Cooking with my hubby is something to be desired.

When I was young I used to think I'd love to be on a TV show. Now, in my "old" age, I prefer watching TV :)

Have a great weekend and thanks for visiting my blog!

Spending time with Grandchildren is so much fun.
Would you believe I've never traveled or rather driven on a long trip by myself in my entire life.
Hmmm, depends on the TV show I think.
I do enjoy cooking with my Granddaughter

I would totally be on TV. My BF's parents are retired and we are so blessed that they are able to spend so much time with their grandbabies.

A fashion show sounds really fun! And a bag of books sounds like a great way to relax. Everytime I read your blog posts, I wish I were retired!

I totally would appear on a TV show if I could - and technically I did… I had a camera shot when I was the guest blogger for a Katie Couric show

I agree about driving alone on long trips! There's only so much singing along to the radio by myself I can do before I'd like to talk to someone, and it's nice to take turns driving!

Have a great weekend! :)
