The Weekend . . .

I feel like the girl in this image – carefree, dancing in a clean house with a sigh of relief that the weekend has arrived and with it an opportunity to strive ahead with all of the might I can muster.

Are you as happy to see the weekend as I am? After sprucing up the yard, sweeping the porch and straightening the house, the next few days are mine, and I tend to revel in every minute.  With some time to sit down and write, some yoga and a new Barefoot Contessa, I will be in my element.

The past week on The Simply Luxurious Life has been busy, but good busy, and if you haven’t had an opportunity to look at the last few posts, here is a look back:

Have a beautiful weekend, and thank you very much for stopping by.  I appreciate your time more than you know whether you are just stopping by for your first visit or have been a reader for some time. I am very grateful.  So until Monday, au revoir!
