Friday Favorites

October 2, 2026

It’s Monday morning and I’m sitting here looking forlornly at my mac book.  The weekend was a whirlwind and very much out of the ordinary.  To begin, we had some trees “sculpted”.  It was intense tree pruning, if there ever was.  I worried about the squirrels and birds all day long.  If you are a nature lover, you know what I mean.

LB worried about the house being damaged because he is logical, unlike me.

Why did we have tree work done?  So future storms wouldn’t cause damage to the house.  It was a good thing, but still traumatizing.  At least Ozzy wasn’t bothered.  He slept all day.

As I mentioned in my last post, my nephew and his family came home for a visit.  We got together on Sunday evening for a pot luck and fellowship.  I’m not a big fellow-shipper, but I was there because I love my family and all of the soups were delicious.  The little girls cried when it was time to say goodbye.  It was heartbreaking.  And now, here I sit, wondering if I’ll be able to conjure up any happy thoughts to turn into favorites.

I suppose I will start with my Saturday goat adventure, but even that was a bit stressful.  I was working in the yard because it was a beautiful day and my plants needed to be fed.  I looked across Mama’s yard and BEHOLD there was a goat coming toward me.

Favorite # ONE

This friendly little goat is named Brownie and lives at the home next door to Mama.

The owner was away and his golden retriever pried open the back gate and let herself and the goat out.  Mama & I finally managed to get Brownie safely back where she belonged.

Fun times.

Favorite # TWO

On Wednesday evening, we visited one of the best Mexican restaurants in Florida…

and afterward we tried to dance off all the calories!

Favorite # THREE

A Quick Trip

to St. Augustine to enjoy the last concert of Music by the Sea

Our friends, Wayne and Laurie came along.  Unlike LB and myself, they are great dancers.

Check out my TikTok for more fun dance footage.

When we got home on Thursday afternoon, I spent some time with Ozzy, unpacked, washed a load of clothes, straightened up the house, walked a few miles on the treadmill, and then…

Favorite # FOUR

I got in the hot tub to unwind with my favorite beverage.  As much as one can unwind with a cherry ginger ale.

Favorite # FIVE

Happy October!

Who could say no to this face?I appreciate this little black cat in October and in every other month!

    So glad Brownie made it home sane and sound he is so cute💕.
    It definitely was a busy week for you two,, but it evolved a lot of “Happy Times” within.

Welcome!


I’m Kim… and I love Pretty clothes, Pretty décor, Pretty days, and Pretty much anything that involves family and fun.  Growing up, My Mama told me more than once “Pretty is as Pretty does” …encouraging me to focus on the inner pretty girl, as she is the one that matters most.

Here on my blog, I’m sharing what I see as pretty.  Whether it be an outfit, an experience, an event, a memory or thought.  Hopefully I’ll share something that will be interesting, useful, or make you smile along the way.
