What a week it has been. In retrospect, it was OK, but in the moment, not so much…… EXCEPT for that special dinner with Larry on Monday night.

Larry and I have a secret place that we escape to. It is a restaurant and the owners know us. We have our own booth and our food is always fabulous. It is “our” place and it has been for many years. We have never taken our kids there. We have never met friends or work people there. We try to escape every other month and when we do, we talk, laugh, listen to the music {live} and just be together. { I christened my new dress at dinner on Monday}

This past Monday when we escaped, we had not eaten all day. When we arrived at our booth, we started with the bread and ate like pigs the entire evening. I think escaping with Larry on Monday was my happiest time.

I had a message from Cousin Aggie. She requested seeing the dress I finished sewing….so Aggie, this next bit is for you.

The dress is wonderful. {and looks better on than hanging on a hanger} I have had one of these dresses in my wardrobe for years. It is easy to wear and easy to make. The pattern is below. I made the middle view, but I sewed up the side slit.

I have made this dress for an event coming up, I will pair the dress with my Kate Spade necklace and fancy flip flops.

By no means am I a fashion blogger. I am tall, a breast cancer survivor {you know that means extreme bust adjustments} I am fussy about comfort and I am old. Knowing what I like is very easy these days.

Buying dresses off the rack is awkward for me. The choices are either to young or to old. So, often I sew my dresses.

It is finally Friday! It is my adorable granddaughters birthday and the sun is shinning. It is going to be a good day.

Love you.
