All together on Christmas Day: the Royal Family attended services at St.Mary Magdalene Church at the Queen’s Sandringham Estate in Norfolk. Front and center in the ever-growing crowd was Meghan Markle, the first royal fiancée to be invited to join the celebrations. The Duchess of Cambridge has fully recovered from her morning sickness, and her baby bump was clearly visible beneath her smart tartan coat. The 91-year-old Queen dazzled in her eye-catching orange outfit as she and sprightly 96-year-old Prince Philip led the procession out of the church. They were all greeted warmly by a large gathering of onlookers.

It’s the only photo of him I have

Hiya Thad! Hope your winter break is off to a grand start! How has work been? Are you traveling?

I am glorying in not having to work until the new year. When life slows down a bit, I find myself wondering how you are. Hope life is treating you well!

I’ve had a blasted cold for almost 6 weeks but am finally starting to feel like my old self again. We’re sticking around here for the holidays, hoping to relax and get things done around home and have some daytime adventures.

Here’s a fun tumblr for you – https://seethusosexy.tumblr.com/post/164558985642

December 22, 2017 Friday


7:02 AM Sassy
Happy Friday!   
You working? I’m not!  So excited to be done for the year!
7:28 AM Phil
I am! Trying to catch up a bit so I can relax. Gotta plan turnover. I don’t believe anyone knows all the things I have my fingers in around here. 

Enjoy your day off! We are off to the beach in the AM!

8:55 AM Sassy
Did you pick a job to take?
9:00 AM Phil
Not yet. Had a second interview for the second one yesterday.
9:01 AM Sassy
You want that one?
9:07 AM Phil
That’s the one I would prefer but both offer a change of scenery and a better commute.
