The Friday Five Good Things


Five good things that happened this week.

1. Enjoyed a Sundae lunch

2. Himself fried eggplant and zucchini. I put them together to make a Parmigiana. We make a great team.

3. Went to see Totoro with the Young One. We really love seeing the Miyazki films on the big screen.

4. The washing machine died. A valve wouldn't close and the machine turned itself on and filled up with water all by itself. 😱 Fortunately, we were home before the machine flooded the house. Too costly to fix, we bought a new one one along with a 5 year service contract.

5. The genealogy bug has bitten Himself. We went cemetery sighting to find his maternal grandparents' grave. And then out to lunch and a future T Day post. 😺

How was your week?

    Other than the washing machine, it sounds like you had a good week. That Totoro movie looks like it is fun to watch.

      Totoro is a very sweet film. My mother-in-law had given it to the Eldest when she was little, and it was our first introduction to Japanese anime.

    Aside from having to replace the washing machine, you had a better week than I. So glad you got Himself interested in genealogy, too. I know it's your thing and now you have a loved one to share it with.

      I'm not sure Himself Will ever be at the level of wandering the cemeteries. He thinks it's ghoulish 😺

      Amen! That was the upside of having to buy a new washer.

    Good week, and how good that you got home in time to stop the washing machine from flooding the house. Glad you enjoyed the film, too. Have a great weekend, Valerie

      The movie brought back happy memories when the girlies were little. They loved Totoro

    We used to say our cat was cranky because she had wanted to become a cat-bus and had failed ;) I haven't had eggplant in ages. I'm thinking I should pick one up. I've never heard of a washing machine coming on by itself. Scary! Sounds like the makings of a horror movie to me... It's interesting to see family gravesites. They styles of stones differ so much over time and from cemetery to cemetery.

      This is the second haunted, washing machine that turned itself that we had. We weren’t so lucky to catch the machine the first time around.
