The Friday Five Good Things

Five good things that happened this week.

1. Spent a wonderful afternoon with the Brother and his family. The Brother cooked a wonderful late lunch, and I made bow cookies, my grandmother's signature cookie.

2. The Nephew and his wife brought me a welcome bit of Springtime. I brought the tulips home and put them in the Headless Chickie candy dish sometimes yarn bowl.

3. The Power Wall was installed and it works.

4. I was supposed to meet Nan to see Little Women, but Nan hurt her knee so we Skyped instead.

5. I was shy a stamp on a mail art envelope I was sending and had forgotten to bring extra stamps with me just in case there wasn't enough postage. The clerk, S, offered to give me one of the stamps out of her own pocket. She's so kind. I declined telling her she'd go broke if she supplied stamps to patrons that didn't have the correct postage. I bought a sheet of stamps.

How was your week?

  1. You had another nice week. That tulip plant is lovely. And you'll be able to plant it outside in the Spring, so that it blooms again every year. That was nice of the post office clerk. (It also reminds me I might need to buy a sheet of stamps, because I think my supply is running low.)

    They still can't make up their mind about this weekend's forecast. I'm hoping their latest one of all rain for here in CT is right. ("Northern Hills" of CT might get snow and sleet, but rain for the rest of us.)

    1. I hope Nan's knee is better soon, too. She's supposed to be running a half marathon in Dingle, Ireland in September

  3. Nice week. I haven't heard much about the Little Woman movie but it has been out for awhile so it must be pretty good. I've been busy wrapping up classes and squeezing in some art time. Happy Friday. Hugs-Erika

  5. Restarted taking daily vitamins. Feel better. Did some illumination work - images from the Gladsor Armenian Gospels. Also, a few White Vine letters to send to friends, and painted several Valentine's Day cards. Beginning work on a Easter card. Still working out lettering and design.

    1. I need to think about Valentine's Cards. I like the new heart stamp that came out this week.

    1. The tulips are a bright spot of color as out the window there's still snow on the ground

  8. My week has gone in a blur!
    Had lots of things that needed sorting, which I managed to do and are now looking forward to a relaxing weekend.

    You've had a good week and I just love those tulips :)

    Out and about today I spotted some snowdrops and early daffodils in bloom, I should have got out of the car and taken a photograph.

    Wishing you a good weekend.

    All the best Jan

  9. I loved the tulips. Great gift. Glad the power wall works. You are too sweet to buy the sheet of stamps, but that's how you are, dear. You treat others the way they would want to be treated.

    Sorry to read about Nan. We miss her.
