The Friday Five Good Things


 Five good things that happened this week.

1. The four of us celebrated The Young One's birthday

2. The Young One picked out the anime movie Flow for us to watch. It's right up there with Cats, The Blair Witch Project, and 2001 Space Odyssey. If you know, you know.

3. The Young One showed me how to play Inkulinati. We had lots of fun. Almost as much fun as when we played Little Big Planet

4. We delivered the Young One to TF Green Airport in Providence RI. Easy down and easy back via Rte295. So much easier than going to Logan Airport in Boston.

5. Back to weekly Skype sessions with the Young One.

How was your week?

  1. Sounds like a fun week! We were two nights on the balcony and shared a mini-bottle of sparking wine - SUMMER!
    And my friend, depite being on holiday, checked if ESE still wants me (yes). Good.

  5. What a lovely time you had with Young One.
    I have not hear of that game but it sounds a bit rude. Culo means 'ass' in Italian and inculinar would mean going into one. Not nice. I must look up that game as you said it was fun.
    Enjoy your weekend,
    Lisca

    1. Inkulinati is a play on Illuminati. The game involves battles and defeating drolleries, the odd creatures (like rabbits riding snails) that are found in the margins of medieval manuscripts.

    1. She wanted cupcakes, not a cake. Yellow cupcakes with chocolate frosting. Classic. I found a cat candle that made her cupcake purrfect

  8. Sounds like a great week! I LOVE that cat cupcake! It's good having an alternate airport to use, instead of a big city one.

    1. We did. I just hope we don't have to wait nearly 2 years to see her again.

  10. I bet it was fun having the young one home and having both girls there. It was a good week for certain, even though I'm sure it was tough to see her fly away! Hope it was a great Friday.
