The Friday Five Good Things


 Five good things that happened this week.

1. Found Marriage/Birth/Death records for residents of Ariano di Puglia (now Ariano Irpino) in Italy where Grandma was from. Searching through the records she went from having one brother to having  3 brothers and 4 sister though one sister died in infancy.

2. Friends from South Carolina attended a wedding on the New Your/Western Massachusetts border. They swung by for a visit so we took them to dinner at Point Breeze.

3. Pulled an all nighter and fell down the genealogy rabbit hole

4. I had my annual eye exam, and my current prescription is still just fine. Whew! That saved $800

5. Annual tune up for the boiler and the mini splits. The tech said the inside of the mini splits were so clean they looked brand new. Thanks to Himself for cleaning the filters

How was your week?

    Great week CJ. Especially hearing your prescription for glasses hadn't changed. I can relate to that one (same result I had) which is fantastic. Have a great FRiday and weekend.

      Yup, now that money that would have been spent on glasses can now go to art supplies! 😺

      A mini split is a ductless combination air conditioner and heating unit. This is what it looks like

    Nice to have dinner with friends - haven't done that in ages. I don't even know if I have any friends left that would have dinner with me... meaning we actually have lost touch- my best friend passed on. Nice that you are discovering your past.

      The friends were Himself's college roommate and his wife. They have remained friends since college.

    My single vision glasses cost me about $75.00. I about fell off my chair when I saw what you might have to pay for yours. I admit, I only need mine for driving.

    How sweet you treated your friends to a great meal. How do I get to be your daughter (grin)?

    Daughters are supposed to treat parents to an occasional meal out. At a nice restaurant. 😉
