The Friday Five Good Things

Five good things that happened this week.

1. Our Thanksgiving was a day late because The Eldest  had to work the holiday. Just as we sat down to dinner, Himself noticed the cardinal pair at the bird feeder. I haven't seen the pair since early Fall. So just Ma and Dad dropping by for the festivities.

2. Visit to the cemetery, dinner out, and starting the season with looking at Christmas lights.

3. Parked the cars over at Prissy's under the trees just off her semi-circular drivewa so the septic truck would be able to back into the driveway for the annual pump out. While waiting, I noticed a car in Prissy's driveway and a man taking pictures of the tags on the cars. I ran across the street to let him know the cars were temporarily parked there.

Turns out, the man (who lives down the road apiece) was the father of the new neighbor. I knew Gruff, Jr. had said they had found someone to buy the house. The Dad was very nice about the cars. and came to check on the progress of the house. Walls were being painted and minor repairs taken care of. Papers for the house would be passed at the end of the week. Don't know when his daughter and family will move in. He said the floors have to be refinished and the kitchen remodelled. Most likely, we'll have new neighbors after the holidays.

4. Enjoyed Elizabeth's and Bleubeard's T Stands for meme. Fun idea. Just include a beverage in your Tuesday post and add your link on Elizabeth's page. Met a lot of new people and saw amazing journal pages, crafts and artwork

5. Himself's Christmas gifts arrived. Early present the Edison bulb solar Snowman and Santa lights are bigger than I expected. Very cool.

How was your week?

  1. Cardinals are my favorite bird. So that put a big smile on my face.

    Bleubeard and I are honored to be on your Friday five. That put a big smile on my face, although Bleubeard slept through the entire thing.

    It's great that you share these joyful moments with others. It makes a week seem much better and more interesting when we can look back and find so many positive things, too.

    1. Shortly after my parents passed away in 2013, I heard a legend that when you see a cardinal, it's a vist/message from someone from your past. Now when I see the cardinals, I think of my folks.

      The 5 good things was a way to help me stop seeing the glass as half empty. No matter how bleak things get, the glass is always full

  2. I forgot to tell you, I would never chide you for not having a drink in your Tuesday T post. You had loads of cups, and that qualified. The actual drink isn't necessary, just something alluding to a drink, which all those cups (and saucers) did.
