A GIRLS DAY OUT...


 Two great friends..
Martha and....Martha
 THIS lovely home belongs to another sweet friend..MARY,
and she had us over for lunch..
 That's Mary in the middle...looking young and fresh and cute as a button.
 Mary's beautiful home is filled with treasures, every where you look.
This magnificent piece is a family heirloom that she cherishes.
I can see why...it is just beautiful.
 A beautiful sun room on the back of her house...so pretty.
 The RED WHITE AND BLUE is always beautiful.
 The master bath...
wouldn't you just about KILL for a tub like that?
I really wanted to take a bath but was too embarrassed to ask! :))
"Not really, Mary...but it surely is a pretty tub..a beautiful bath."
 Beautiful chest and in my favorite color.
 I love all the beautiful pillows on her bed.
Mary LOVES animal prints and has a lot of leopard throughout.
 Her lovely kitchen is home to this amazing island.
I loved this so much.
 This is one awesome chair in her pretty dining room.
 She made a *just right for a girls day out* luncheon for us.
A killer TUNA SALAD
and such delectable sides.
Brownies...ummmm...they were so rich and chocolaty and GOOD.
Oh, and her fresh, luscious strawberries were served with 
STRAWBERRY YOGURT...and, boy, was that good.
 Mary's table was set with beautiful place mats and napkins to match.
Here's THE SISTER FRIENDS...
Part of us went THRIFTING after the luncheon
and found some GREAT GREAT things but...
that's ANOTHER POST
for ANOTHER TIME.....:))))
Thanks again, ladies, for a wonderful day.
I had so much fun.
I am linking with
Thanks to the hosts for the linking parties..

Boy, we had a full day, I'm pooped and heading for bed at 8:30...
I am sure I will have the BEST dreams tonight after my fabulous

Looks like a nice group of friends and ladies. You always photograph well. Wish I could do that!
You know what? I had something set on my blog preferences that wouldn't let you comment unless you were a WordPress blogger. DUH! I didn't notice that. So ... come on by and see if it works now? Sorry about that. Wonder how many I've missed? I only had it right on the other blog. Live and learn. :) Enjoyed my visit as always, and thanks, Jenn

Debbie said...

This was fun!

I'm crazy about all those pillows on her bed. And that kitchen with the island makes me have to fight the green eyed monster.

You must have had such a great time. Can't wait to hear about the thrifting.

Sue said...

Looks like a fun day! I loved the house tour...all those pillows and that tub...jealous!

Yay, for girls day out! I bet you had a blast, BJ. I'm way overdue for a day out with the gals, and I don't see one coming in the near future. Gotta get those cherries harvested and the rest of that garden planted. ;)

Thanks for joining the party. Now I have a good excuse for visiting with you regularly.
