Friday's Favorite Fives

Here we go again with another list of blessings from the past week.  The week went by in a whirlwind, but it is so nice to take time out and count the blessings.

1.  This week I had lunch with my oldest friend.  We have known each other since we were babies.  We went to a cozy little restaurant and had a great time.  Old friends are treasures!

2.  I bought myself one of my favourite candies this week, as a special treat.  Nonpareils.  Hadn't had them in such a very long time.  They didn't last long!

3.  Not sure why so many of my favourites revolve around food, but another blessing of the past week was a homemade pizza my husband and I made together.  We have made several, and each time try to perfect it.  This one was the best so far.  It was delicious!

4.  I found this the other day.  Today it has two eggs.  I am checking it daily.  I may have baby birds to show soon!

                       
                                                                              5.  This morning I woke up with a really weird feeling.  A good, weird feeling.  The sun was shining, and you could tell it was going to be a beautiful summer day, but it was early, so still chilly.  The feeling I had was the same feeling I used to have when I would wake up at my family's summer camp when I was a child.  My house, which is quite rustic, had the same feeling and smell to it as I can remember our camp having when I would wake up on those summer days so long ago.  It was really weird, but I do consider it a blessing.  It was a great "childhood" feeling and memory.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.  Let me know about your week by going to Living to Tell the Story and listing your special blessings.

Friday Favorite Fives

It's a beautiful, sunny Friday morning after a week of rain and gloom.  I am ready to list 5 blessings from the past week.  Then, I'd really like to hear yours.  Join me, by going to Living to Tell the Story.


1.  I filled in for a friend at work earlier this week.  I don't normally work on Sundays, but I took her second shift, and then on Monday I worked the 11:00 pm - 7:00 am shift.  This is really easy work.  I was on the switchboard at the hospital, and not much takes place during those hours, so I was able to read and relax!  And my work there is done until May 25th!  I am enjoying some time off for a little while and loving it!

2.  Today is the annual Springfest in our small village.  I will be having an Avon booth there both days.  It looks like it is going to be great weather for it!  My husband always comes with me when I do craft fairs, and we have such a great time just being together.

3.  We had a wonderful prayer meeting at church last night.  It is a good group of dedicated Christians committed to praying for our nation. 

4.  We had a breakfast at our Ladies Bible study this week.  Our host pampered us with beautiful china plates and teacups, cloth tablecloths, candles, china cream and sugar bowls.  It was so lovely.  Just what we women love! 

5.  Last night I made baked chicken which I had marinating all day in Italian dressing.  It sure tasted good.  My husband has been after me to make it this way for years.  I finally did, and loved the result!

 I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!  See you next time!

                                                                             

Friday's Favorite Fives

It has been a busy week, but a good one.  Taking time out to list some blessings from the week.                                                                             

1.  Got the goat shed and the chicken coop all cleaned out after the long winter.  It feels good.  I'm sure the animals think so too.  It's a hard job and lots of work though.  Glad it's done.

2.  All the animal manure I cleaned out makes for some great compost!  Today we planted a raspberry bush and some strawberry plants.  We also replanted some blueberry bushes that weren't doing too well.  We are hoping the compost will cause them to thrive.

3.     This is one of my favourite Avon products.  I love to use their footscrubs in the shower or bath after a long day.  It is so soothing and relaxing.  I feel like I am being pampered when I use them. 

4.  I had some time to read this week, and I read a light mystery novel which I so enjoyed.  It was called "Booked for Murder." 

5.  We finally bought a new mattress!!  It will be delivered within the next couple of days.  I cannot wait to get a good nights' sleep again!
