Welcome to Friday's Fave Five. It's been a busy week here at Living to Tell. I apologize for not getting around to comment on last weeks posts as of yet but I've been taking online courses for a volunteer position and I needed to get that done. But it's a new week and taking this pause is much needed. Please join us as we intentionally look for blessings God gives in our ordinary days.
~ lunch with friends ~ Saturday we had lunch with friends we have not seen in awhile. It was fun catching up with them and hearing all about their European cruise vacation. They brought me a gift they knew my Hungarian heart, and tastes, would love: a cute pair of bags containing authentic Hungarian sweet and hot Paprika.
~ library time ~ Sunday found me at the library returning the books that were due. I love the library and it is a place to destress for me as I browse all the racks of books, both old and new. Though I didn't let myself take any out this time, I've got way too many of my own at home to read right now, it was still fun to see what was new and add to my want to read list.
~ surprise visit ~ the other night, as Hubby and I were watching tv, we heard a very quiet tap and looked up to see a face pressed against our living room window. It was our son, the paramedic, stopping in for a quick hello after doing an ambulance transfer from his city to ours. That kid always did get his jollies from giving his mother a fright. Some things just never change no matter how old they get. But I'm so thankful he takes that minute to stop by and see us, though I'm sure the neighbors wonder why an ambulance is at our house again.
~ excellent service ~ last Friday, we celebrated our brother in law's birthday. As is our tradition, the four of us went out for dinner at a restaurant of the birthday person's choice. The meal was excellent as usual, but the server we had went above and beyond. She was excellent and really made the night extra special.
~ Taber corn ~ In Southern Alberta, August means it's Taber corn season. And it hasn't disappointed! It is the best corn around and we've been enjoying it often as we know the season will soon end. Nothing like fresh corn picked that day, served hot with a good dose of butter and salt. I know. Not the healthiest veg, but when you're from around here you just kind of forget about that in corn season.
What are your favorite blessings from the last week?
