do i have a fun fridays with oscar today! and a very special guest star, lisa from the opens in a new windowSilver Stylist. swing by her site and say hello! lisa is also on opens in a new windowInstagram and opens in a new windowFacebook. yes, it’s friday time to kick up our heels and relax. what better way to do that than sharing a cocktail and a ladies’ lunch with one of your besties? lisa and i have been gal pals since i moved to Georgia five years ago! she’s a silver hair sister, blogging buddy, and truly one of my dearest friends that i love to spend time with, whether chatting on the phone, texting, or in-person. the commute from door to door is forty-five minutes, so we have to plan our get-togethers ahead of time. but we try our best to squeeze in a monthly lunch, whether in Athens, Atlanta, or somewhere in-between.
of course, oscar is here for his weekly gig. believe you me; this dog never misses out on extra love and attention when someone walks through our front door. oscar has yet to meet a human he didn’t love, and the love is bound to return, right?!
