What are you doing this weekend? We were thinking of visiting our friends at North Forkbut now the kids are lamenting the idea of a three hour drive, so I’m going to see if I can hype it up and/or let them choose the playlist, and who knows what will happen next?!! I’m on the edge of my seat, haha. I hope you have a good one, and here are some links from around the web…

Also, three comments from readers:
Claire-Elizabeth says to have a relaxing weekend: “Pro tip! Charly Clive (co-star of Rooster) narrates the hilarious and extremely entertaining memoirs Cake by Slutty Chef. HIGHLY recommended.”
Tracey says about who the unexpected friends in your life are: “Start hanging out in front of your house: read a book on the porch, put out some flower pots, play in the garden. Where I live, most people lock themselves in their backyards, but if you venture near the street, people can’t help but chat with you.”
Jessica says about who the unexpected friends in your life are: “When we realized that our three children were the only children in our new apartment building, I panicked and made cookies for the neighbors on our floor. What worried me most was our neighbor across the hall, Kirk, a rather stern-looking older man with a serious demeanor, a spotless home, and a Bernese mountain dog named Beppi. I even added a note of apology ‘in advance’ for the ‘fuss’ he was about to cause. invade his life. Two days later, we came home to a card on the door addressed to our children that said, ‘Be loud, Kirk!’ Since then, Kirk has become a favorite; “He gives our children Christmas gifts and allows them to give Beppi as many treats as they want.”
