The Friday Five Good Things

Five good things that happened this week.

1. Just the two of us home for dinner. Himself stopped at the fish market and brought a piece of swordfish home. I found an amazing recipe baked swordfish with grilled veggies. Delicious

2.  One of my beginning calligraphy students sent me a picture of the placecards she made for her Thanksgiving table. Made me smile to see her put her budding skill to work

3. Found one of my Girl Scout troop friends on Facebook.

4. A blog buddy sent a very cute virtual Thanksgiving card.

5. Roasted chestnuts as a special treat for myself and a remembrance of Dad.

How was your week?

  4. Sounds like a pretty great week to me! One of the main reasons I joined FB is to try and keep in touch with my old classmates from high school and some family who do not live nearby any longer.

    How nice of your friend to send you a virtual card.

    Have a great weekend, CJ!

  5. All in all it sounds like there is lots to be happy about this week 😁. So nice to have a special swordfish dinner with your hubby and it must be so rewarding to see your student putting her calligraphy skills into practice. So funny ... an old friend contacted me on Facebook this week, it was so lovely to hear from her 😁. Wishing you a Happy Friday and Weekend! J 😊

    1. The swordfish dinner for two was a nice surprise. Normally, I don't her from students after they have taken a class so it was very nice of her to share her work. My friend and I have planned a lunch date in a couple of weeks.That should be fun as well as make a nice T Stands for post. =^,.^=

    1. You can find them in your grocery store in produce. To roast preheat oven 350o F. With flat side of chestnut down, use a sharp knife to make an X on each chestnut. This cut will allow the steam to vent. Place chestnuts on baking sheet and bake for 20 min. Allow to cool and then peel the skins off and eat. You might find one or two bad chestnuts. Rotted or moldy inside, be sure to toss those.
