The Friday Five Good Things


Five good things that happened this week.

1. I saw a red-headed woodpecker at the bird feeder

2. The Young One sent me a recipe for sausage and chickpea soup. So delicious

3. I visited Teague on Tuesday instead of Thursday because weather and being under the weather kept us away for two weeks. We had a fun day catching up, going out to lunch, and visiting a bakery.

4. I've been wondering where the cardinal pair has been. I saw the female cardinal in the Japanese maple tree so I'm glad the cardinals are still around.

5. A month or so ago, I bought an item for some Christmas presents, but couldn't for the life of me remember where I had put them. I looked all over. I looked 4 times in the place I thought I had put them, but the fifth time was a charm! Now I can finish packing up the box to send to the Young One and her SO

How was your week?

  1. Sorry, #5 made me laugh! I really have a file "nicht_vergessen.txt" - don´t forget!
    My week, aw, well. I still have no clue if ESE will keep me - but my customer tries to talk to them to keep me.
    I will not ask, I wait...

  3. It's amazing how things go missing when you *know* where you've put them.

  4. I hate when things are exactly where you think they are but when you look, they are not there. And then you look again and they are there. Sometimes I think there are gremlins who just play with us and that's they're favorite thing to do. :) Nice week CJ. My week has been good except that my house is a disaster zone right now because I just haven't felt like cleaning it up. This is when I wish the gremlins would be helpful. :) Stay warm.

    1. Yes, missing things are due to gremlins. Himself's mother told me gremlins attached themselves to Himself. She said the gremlins would be my problem now with a little laugh.

    1. Cardinals and robins are year-round here. Though robins keep themselves hidden until Spring. Smart birds
