Friday Favorites

TGIF - happy Friday!  I have had a quiet week at home with the house to myself.  The downtime has been nice after our busy weeks wrapping up senior year.  Grace is in Pittsburgh, while Jack and Michael are sailing in the British Virgin Islands.  Here's a look at some favorites from the week.

I put away the maroon graduation decor and pulled out the red, white and blue for summer.  I like adding just a few touches of patriotic color in the kitchen and living room.  

I had hoped that my roses would make a showing for all the end of year festivities, but there wasn't a single bloom.  They decided to wait a week to show their color.  The photos don't do them justice.

We have had workmen with loud machines in the backyard all day today - they are laying a high speed fiber optics line.  I think they will be back tomorrow because the yard is still a mess.

I met some friends for afternoon tea to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.  We had a great time!

Grace and I saw Downton Abbey before she left - loved it.

Top Gun was the BEST movie I've seen in a long time.  Go see it!

I'll have a "Watching and Listening" post next week.

The guys are having such a good time on their sailing trip.

I can't wait for them to come home on Monday!
