The Friday Five Good Things

Papyrus Anniversary card
I gave to Himself
Five good things that happened this week.

1. Got a very nice email from a student.

2. Celebrated our 33rd wedding anniversary.

3. God bless Skype and The Eldest calling to ask me to watch Worst Cooks with her.

4. Fun day out with Teague.

5. The Masscribes (Massachusetts/Rhode Island calligraphy guild) Celtic Knot workshop still had seats available. I was in Pennsylvania when it was advertised so didn't think I'd be able to take it. Sent in my registration.

How was your week?

Some of you who read this week's Wordless Wednesday, didn't understand the joke. I posted this answer for the Food Service Girl at Trout Talking Tabbies:

In the cartoon, Bart is writing the word minimum on the board. It's a calligraphy spacing exercise. All of the straight strokes legs of m and n, the i and uprights of the u all look alike. The thickness of the straight strokes will be the same width as the spaces in between the letters. The word becomes obscure (especially if the i isn't dotted) and will sort of look like the slats in a picket fence.

As Castiel from Supernatural would say: It's funnier in Enochian.

  6. That card is fabulous. I laughed and laughed. It would make a good Wordless Wednesday post and one you wouldn't have to MINIMALLY explain to a few of us. Happy anniversary. It's great your husband knew how to keep a little princess happy for so long (grin).

    1. Usually, I have to look at lots of cards. Himself doesn't like cards that rhyme or are gushy. This was the first one I picked. Destiny! :-D

    1. Apparently, that is going to be a weekly thing. At least until the season of Worst Cooks ends, or she has something better to do.
