Tennis Girl Party!

Hi All,
I am reposting to join Susan over at Between Naps on the Porch and Tablescape Thursday and Cindy over at Show and Tell Friday. Once a month, one of the tennis girls hosts a party at her home. We call it our "Friendship Dinner." I had the month of September, and last night was my turn!
The table was set...
Appetizers under the pergola...

A Little Update...

Hi All,
Things have been alittle busy around here. My Dad had some spots taken off of his head in April and they had not been healing from the inside/out. We are now on the third doctor. His head has been wrapped up in a gause turban since July. For the first time we saw progress last week. We are now going on Tuesdays to St. Johns hospital in Springfield, IL(3 hrs away) They are wonderful there and some healing has taken place on his head. It has been a long road for him. He is 80 and unusually active and healthy. It has been so hard for him, as he has been fighting alittle vertigo, as well. He has not played tennis since last spring. Hopefully, we can get him back on the tennis court soon. With work and all this( my Mother has macular degeneration and has had 2 stokes in the last couple of years) I have been lagging alittle in blogland. I am an only child. My dear friend Linda over at Linda's Life Journal was worried about me. She is the sweetest gal and what a artisit! Please go over and visit her when you have time. I check on all of you every morning and I love you and our visits! I will be posting more as soon as things slow down abit. Theodore says, "Mom, did you eat all the mini-wheats???"

Vintage Thingie

Hi All,
I think my computer might be well again? I hope so. I am linking up tonight with Suzanne over at The Coloradolady and Vintage Thingie Thursday. Please go over and check out all the great vintage things! I am also linking up with Cindy over at My Romantic Home and Show and Tell Friday. My fall table setting on my vintage Ethan Allen table.

Computer problems!

Hi All,
I am having computer problems again! Now my picture card reader will not work, as in my C drive is full and cannot copy the pics to the computer, ugh! I will either try to get it fixed one more time or off to buy a new computer, ugh again :( I will be checking on all of you, but might not be able to join in parties till this is fixed. This is how I feel, sniff, sniff...

The Bedroom

Hi All,
I am FINALLY able to show you the 2nd upstairs bedroom. We moved over the furniture from the Inn yesterday and got it all set up. Yea! I snapped some pictures early this morning for you :) Antique pineapple bed...

The dresser and windsor rocker...

Another shot... I will take some more pics another time in the daylight, but I wanted to join in Show Off Your Cottage Monday with Cielo over at House In The Roses.

Famous (TV) Couple Friday!

Hi All,

I am back with Famous Couples Friday. I am posting on another one of my favorite shows, again from the 70's, The Bob Newhart Show. Here is the primary cast, Bob and Emily, Carol the receptionist, Howard the Navigator and Jerry the Dentist.

Bob Newhart played a psycologist in his real hometown of Chicago, IL
Here is a shot of Dr. Hartley in his office on the show. Notice the paneling!

The Hartleys, weren't they adorable!

I loved their apartment, second of course to Mary Tyler Moore's in her show :)

This picture was taken a couple of years ago when Taylor was attending Columbia College. This is the outside of the building used for the exterior shot of where Bob's character worked in downtown Chicago. This building is on Michigan Ave very close to the river.

Fall Cloche Party!

Good Morning,
I am linking up over at Marty's A Stroll Thru Life and her Fall Cloche Party! Please go over and check out all the fall pretties!!! This is my little foyer. The old telephone nook, one of my Mother's oil paintings. It is all sitting on my kid's changing table that I bought so many years ago for $20 at a garage sale. It is really a dresser, but I put a pad and a quilt over it and it became their changing table :)

I love my frosted fall garland from Valerie Parr Hill

A closer look...

Happy Fall!
