Today is

FRIDAY

WOO HOO!

and it is also National Good Neighbor Day!

My definition of good neighbor is minding my own business but keeping an eye out for anything suspicious in the neighborhood.  I consider myself to be a good neighbor.

WHO is the BEST Neighbor you know?

Only one name comes to mind:

Fred Rogers!

Last week Google shared one of the cutest google doodles I have seen…

Favorite # FOUR

The last of the Limes

Now that pumpkin is the star of the show, it is necessary to use the bowl of limes.

It was a Lime Bundt Cake recipe that got me started. 

It took about eight limes to make this cake.

And I’m still looking forward to the LAST of the limes!

 

Favorite # FIVE

On Tuesday the company shared the glorious news that there is [once again] an overtime mandate for all employees.  Boy was I mad.  I appreciate the slightly inflated paycheck, but I do not appreciate leaving the office an hour later and spending an extra bit of time in rush hour traffic.

My attitude is in check.  I’ve decided to grit my teeth and bear it.

My resolve has reminded me of a story I once heard:

A mother was driving to school one day, and her youngest child was standing in the seat beside her. Realizing the danger, she said to him, “Sit down, dear, I may have to stop suddenly and you’ll be thrown against the windshield.”

“No!” the little boy refused.

“Please sit down, dear, I don’t want you to get hurt,” the mother insisted.

“No!” came the stubborn reply.

Finally, she reached over and pulled him down. He sat there sullenly for a moment, then said, “I may be sitting down on the outside, but I’m standing up on the inside.”

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.
