The Friday Five Good Things


 Five good things that happened this week.

1. Himself and I called the Eldest to wish her a Happy Birthday. She wasn't home so we left an off-key rendition of the birthday song on her voicemail. She loved it. 😺

2. The Eldest has/had a favorite lovey, a lamb. My dad brought Lambie as a gift to her the day after the Eldest was born when he saw his granddaughter for the first time. The day after the Eldest's birthday, I sent a birthday to text to Lambie. 

3. Took a fun trip to an outlet store and found all sorts of treasures

4. Saw a monarch butterfly on the milkweed

5. Found some fun additions for Himself's garden project.

How was your week?

  2. Sounds like a fab week! I bet your eldest got a kick out of hearing you both singing her Happy Birthday, the perfect birthday treat - sending happy birthday wishes her way 😁. I'm always amazed by Monarch butterflies, they are so elegant when they fly. Take care and sending you wishes for a happy Friday and weekend! Hugs, Jo x

    1. Such a surprise to see the monarch butterfly. We really haven't seen butterflies or bees in the yard for several years.

  3. Outlet shopping, that sounds like a good time out. I'm not a big shopper but every now and again a trip to the outlets is always good. Especially when treasures are to be found. Happy Friday.

  6. Great Birthday wishes - my Nieces (now already 5 and nearly 12) once sang "Happy Birthday" to me. In English.
    Great you found something for your Hubby´s project - mine just brings stuff home like chips to fatten me up. What does he think I do so much training?!
    Good: Today he brought oranges for the machine I found in the street.
    And I had another wonderful street find, post to come.

  7. I, for the first time ever, saw a monarch in my blog and took a million photos . a few of which i'll put up on my nature blog in a bit. I didn't even know they were in our area this time of year. I've only ever seen them in the fall on a butterfly bush over at Lake Arrowhead. I was thrilled! I had planted a "blood" plant (can't think of the name of it other than it's nickname) and it attrached the monarch. Sounds like you had a good week. I haven't been to an outlet store in wow, way more than five years - i use to love to shop at them.

    1. Cool about the butterfly. The store we went shopping at is more of a close-outs or fire sale store. Good stuff cheap

    2. rereading my post of course i meant a Monarch in my yard, not my blog, lolo...although now it is on the blog but i should proof read better. To this day I cringe when I think about the medical reports I transcribed and what errors might be in them...(still cringe-ing)...
      oh yeah i like good and cheap stuff too although I hold myself back now - i keep trying to downsize even more.
