The Friday Five Good Things


 Five good things that happened this week.

1. Attended the annual family gathering and met the two grandnieces.

2. I saw a bluebird pair in the backyard. The female flew towards the woods and the male stood guard on the corner of the sunroom roof.

3. I asked the florist to trim the stems for me so the bouquet would fit in the vase at the cemetery. She trimmed them perfectly

4. On the way to the cemetery I saw a man walking along that reminded me of dad with his Bermuda shorts and knee socks.

5. The washer repairman said the leak was from the soap dispenser. It would take a week or so to get the part in. I can still use the washer and I don't have to go to the laundromat. the Little Princess is very happy.

How was your week?

  2. Sounds all in all like a good week! Here... from good weather to cccccold. Good thing: resumed training (slowly).
    Bad thing: Ingo´s back hurts like crazy and he has an app only Monday afternoon.
    P.S. I have someone for you today :-)

  3. You had a washer leak and I have a dryer that won't heat. Oh appliances...AUGH! Glad you can wash though, and I can dry if I hang the clothes upstairs. I don't have a clothesline, and don't want one either. Have a super FRiday. Hope the washer part comes in soon.

    1. I miss my clothesline. From the backdoor to a tree in the backyard. The tree had to be taken down many years ago and I still miss that clothesline. I hope you get your dryer fixed soon.

  5. What a lovely mix of simple joys and touching moments. Seeing the bluebird pair and that man who reminded you of your dad must’ve felt extra special.

    1. I'd forgotten about the wingtips! He had a pair of wingtip saddle shoes he wore during the Summer. Brown and white shoes with a white belt! 🤣
