Have a Great (Long) Weekend

What are you doing this weekend? I finished The Sopranos this week (wow, that last episode!) and I need my James Gandolfini fix, so Freddie and I can watch Enough Said. Have you seen it? I hope you have a good weekend, stay safe, and here are some links from around the web…

I can’t tell you how many spontaneous meals have been consumed and how many people I have been encouraged to invite. He said that if he ever opened a restaurant, it would be called ‘What’s One More!’ When I was in my early twenties, I moved to a new city and called home to chat, when my mother casually told me that a group of friends had stopped by her house after the bar for late-night meatball sandwiches. evening”.

Jo says which holiday you would make up: “When my son was five, he decided to declare May 1 as our anniversary. It’s not his birthday, just a day he randomly selected, but he’s kept it for three years and hasn’t forgotten it! It’s a special day for him and me: we do something fun just the two of us and then we exchange small gifts. In fact, he mentioned it last night when we were getting ready for bed: ‘Mom! Our anniversary is coming up!’”

Julie on 10 readers share their winter outfits: “Why is it so comforting to read detailed descriptions of where people are, how they stay warm, and how they add style to their lives? I love it. Idea for a monthly round-up post: ‘What are you humans wearing this week and what juicy town or city gossip do you have?’”
