The Friday Five Good Things




Five good things that happened this week.

1. Saw a majestic blue heron at Lake Manchaug on the way home from Red's house

2. My town had its first Fourth of July celebration in decades. A parade, music, activities on the town green, and fireworks.  While we didn't go to any of the activities, we did sit out on the front stoop to watch the fireworks. They were being shot off in a field behind the new neighbor's house.Sadly, we couldn't see the fireworks except for a few sparks every now and then, because the tree line was too high, but we could hear them. Himself and I had a nice time sitting and chatting with each other. (Video courtesy of our local cable TV station)

3. I got an amazing piece of Happy Mail (more later)

4. Had dinner and saw fireworks from The Brother's back deck at our annual get together.

5. I won a super prize from a blog contest. (more later)

How was your week?

  2. You definitely had a good week. Nice to reminisce and see what you considered important for the week. I had a blast with three very active youngsters. They will either keep me young or put me in my grave (grin). I look forward to all those "more later" events. Sounds like your 4th was pretty good, too.

    1. We also watched the Boston Pop’s Spectacular on TV. All the oohs and aaahs without the crowds, travel hassles, and we had indoor plumbing

  6. Sounds like a celebratory week :) I could see a few fireworks over our neighbor's garage. They looked to big to have been privately accomplished, but there were no public displays in our part of town. A company party, maybe? Anyway, it was fun to see a few.

    1. The display we saw from the city of Worcester was spectacular this year. Private fireworks are illegal in Massachusetts though that doesn’t stop people.
