THE MCFRIDAY FILES

Preppy Empty Nester March 17, 2023









Happy St. Paddy's Day!  I hope that you had a good week.  Yesterday, storms
whipped through North Texas.  I met some old friends for a delicious Mexican
lunch at one of my favorite spots, Gloria's.  The best part of returning to a
town you lived in is renewing old friendships.






Speaking of friends, I made a new one on Wednesday.  Here's the back story.  My
#1 and Adorable Jonathon stopped into Ballard Designs a couple of years ago.  A
darling lady named Katy introduced herself and told them she reads my blog. 
Fast forward a year, and they sat next to each other at a restaurant.  They
chatted it up for a while, and the next day my #1 called me and told me that I
would love Katy - she is my kind of person.


I emailed Katy and set up a lunch date.  We met at another favorite place of
mine, R&D Kitchen.  Three hours flew by as we bonded over Real Housewives,
shopping, decorating, and blogs.  


My #1 was correct.  
Now she tells me I owe her a finder's fee.





























Step into this magnificent Wiltshire Estate and read its fascinating history.


























An interesting renovation story is attached to this stately home in Athens,
Georgia.













Take a tour of this Block Island beauty designed by Gil Schafer.




















Jackie Kennedy's former home in DC is on the market!

Do you consider yourself a lucky person?
Here's an interesting take on that phenomenon.











Have you ever been to Ireland?
I have, but I was a whiny teenager, so it doesn't really count.
Here are 20 reasons to visit the Emerald Isle.













Here is an interesting article on making friends as adults, and it has nothing
to do with luck.












If you are like me and don't care for corned beef and cabbage, here's another
idea.

How about an Irish Weekend Fry-up this weekend? 













Here are some tips on starting a vegetable garden from the pros.














This is for Sista, who didn't believe me when I told her that studies report
that Stevia is not as sweet as it seems. 











Do you know any seniors in college on the job hunt?

Here's some advice from a Harvard career expert.









Who knew a piece of chalk could be so useful?
















Are you bored of the 9 to 5 grind?



Have I got a job for you.

Happy Pub Week to one of my favorite authors.
My pal, Oprah, liked it as much as I did.
Great minds think alike.
If you enjoy a book centering around complicated family relationships, this book
is for you.





Amazon


Peter Swanson is another favorite author of mine.
This book was released this week, and I just finished listening to it.
He did not disappoint.




Amazon
 
The last book I read by this author was Defending Jacob.
I am now listening to this, which moves quickly and is intriguing.

The most lovable coach in the world is back.
Biscuit recipe?

Lucky Hank premieres tonight, and it looks good.

The Boston Strangler premieres tonight with one of my favorite actresses, Keira
Knightly.

    You outdid yourself with today's house tours! I'm swooning. Don't worry
    about corned beef and cabbage. My grandmother, born and raised in Ireland,
    said that people in Ireland don't eat that on St. Patrick's Day. This year
    it's Friday in Lent so meat is a no-no anway.

    We leave for Ireland on April 13. Can't wait to have some Gin Ice Cream at
    Murphy's. I am named after my great grandmother Mary Murphy. We celebrate
    St. Patrick's Day with Jameson basted salmon, Guinness Carrots, Cabbage and
    Noodles and Bailey's Irish Cream Cheesecake. Happy St. Paddy's Day to you
    and the Mister. Cookie G

    Every single time you share your house tours my favorites are always those
    of New England and the surrounding areas... yet I constantly tell my husband
    I want to move out of New England! Maybe I just need to build or ship a
    house somewhere down south and have that New England coastal feel but with
    warm tropical waters and breezes!

    Hi Katie,
    
    I think you are a collector of best friends. If you’re so inclined to
    collect anything I think best friends are an excellent thing to collect. I
    have a feeling you are a big collector. Are you reaching to 100? Now your No
    1 daughter is attaching a “finders fee,”you better come across because you
    know how she can be. 🤣
    
    Have a lovely weekend.
