Hello, dear friends. All is pretty quiet around here. My last boarder, #2, left the Mothership at 5:30 AM today. Chowdah and Chili keep looking down the hall waiting for her to come barrelling down for breakfast. As if that’s not depressing enough, today is the day that I pledged to get back on the exercise wagon. I have accumulated some excess baggage around the middle due to all the sugary and salty sins of the past six few weeks. I wish the weight were as easy to take off as it is to put on. Well, did you watch it last night? If you need to ask what I am talking about, then I guess you didn’t. The Mister and I usually record DA and watch it on Monday night because we are old and can’t stay up late. But not last night. We have been anticipating this night for months and did not want to miss it. We watched the pre-show chock full of interviews with the cast as well. Mrs. Patmore and Daisy Edith and Mrs. Hughes The thing that we were surprised about was how different some of the cast members look in real life. I would not know the actress that plays Mrs. Hughes if she walked up to me and ordered me to clean the kitchen. Ran across this picture on Pinterest. Helloooooooo Mr. Bates!! The first episode started off slowly to set the groundwork for the season. I am so glad that they finally put an end to the incessant Mr. Green story line and Anna and Bates are clear of all charges. Now we can concentrate on them starting a family. In honor of Downton Abbey and my friend Sally from across the pond, I perused my beloved Pinterest for photos of English Country decor, which I absolutely love. housekaboodle I think I need a cozy cottage like this one. The English Home I’d be guaranteed to have sweet dreams in this gorgeous room. Quintessence The Mister has many talents. Hanging a group of prints evenly such as in this beautiful bath is not one of them. If anybody out there has a hubby with that talent, can we trade for a week? The Mister makes a mean steak tartare. Inspirationdeco.blog Love the red and gold! Betsyspeert.blogspot Dwellcandy Wiseman and Gal Ralph Lauren tumbler Love the dark woods. If I lived here, my kindle and I would never leave this room. Until next time…
