Let's hear it for Friday! I'm so ready for the weekend to begin. Monday is a celebrated holiday at my work so I'm looking at a three-day weekend! Woo Hoo! Starting it off with my five for the week ~
1. All Creatures Great and Small
One of our favorite series, All Creatures Great and Small, returned this week with Season 4. This PBS show is full of warmth and humor. It's based on the stories by best-selling author James Herriot and is set in beautiful Yorkshire Dales. It picks up in 1940 as Churchill takes office and Europe is under serious threat. We can't wait to see what the veterinarians are up to this season!
A new book hit the shelves this week and it went straight on my TBR list. The Heiress sounds like a great read. Here's the summary ~
When Ruby McTavish Callahan Woodward Miller Kenmore dies, she’s not only North Carolina’s richest woman, she’s also its most notorious. The victim of a famous kidnapping as a child and a widow four times over, Ruby ruled the tiny town of Tavistock from Ashby House, her family’s estate high in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
But in the aftermath of her death, her adopted son, Camden, wants little to do with the house or the money—and even less to do with the surviving McTavishes. Instead, he rejects his inheritance, settling into a normal life as an English teacher in Colorado and marrying Jules, a woman just as eager to escape her own messy past.
Ten years later, his uncle’s death pulls Cam and Jules back into the family fold at Ashby House. Its views are just as stunning as ever, its rooms just as elegant, but the legacy of Ruby is inescapable.
And as Ashby House tightens its grip on Jules and Camden, questions about the infamous heiress come to light. Was there any truth to the persistent rumors following her disappearance as a girl? What really happened to those four husbands, who all died under mysterious circumstances? And why did she adopt Cam in the first place? Soon, Jules and Cam realize that an inheritance can entail far more than what’s written in a will––and that the bonds of family stretch far beyond the grave.

It's hot tea season around our house! We love enjoying a mug of hot tea before bed. Our new favorite is Celestial Seasonings Honey Vanilla Chamomile. It's caffeine free so we don't have to worry about it keeping us awake at bedtime and the flavor is so delicious! I like to add a little honey to mine. You'll enjoy the aroma first before you ever start drinking the tea. So, so good!
Have a fabulous weekend! We are bracing for some cold weather so I'm looking forward to staying inside and watching football this weekend. I hate to admit it, but we still have our Christmas decorations up so we'll be working on getting them down and put away over the next few days. See you back next week!
Go Chiefs! Hope you have peacock to watch it, funny thing is we actually have it, ha!
