Well, welcome to a frigid Friday's Fave Five. We've been plunged into the deep freeze this week with a big winter storm on Tuesday. The storm is over but the cold stayed behind. I finally get to use my winter FFF button. But bad weather doesn't stop us from taking of note of blessings in our lives. So if we don't like the weather where you are let's direct our focus to the good things God has brough out way this week.
- Valentine's date ~ usually Hubby and I don't go out on Valentine's Day because of the crazy busyness of restaurants on that day. But this year our favorite steak restaurant was open on that day starting at 11:00 a.m. rather than just for supper service at 3 or 4 so we decided to go for a nice steak dinner. There was only 2 reservations available for the whole day and wouldn't you know one was for the time we wanted. Thank you, God! We had a lovely steak meal and it was nice and relaxed and not nearly as crazy busy as it would have been at night.
~ sweet valentine's from the kids ~ Valentine's is always a fun day with the dayhome kids. They're always so excited and love to share the treats they brought for each other and for me. I was blessed with not just a fun little card and little sweet treats but one family went above and beyond and got me a gift card to a local Mexican restaurant which just happens to be my favorite. Appreciate the kids and their families in my dayhome.
- cozy blankets ~ this week the soft, cozy throw blankets have been much appreciated by me. So nice to have when reading a book or watching tv while the wintery weather is blowing outside.
- pedicure with sister ~ my sis and I made a spur of the moment pedicure appointment. After my Mom passed away we are are determined to spend some time doing enjoyable things together. The last years of both my Dad's and my Mom's life it seemed that all our conversations and time together was serious and having to talk through and deal with all the things that come with senior parents with health issues. We wanted the fun part of our relationship to resurface. It's been a blessing reconnecting to the fun side of us.
~ puzzle finished ~ Well, we did it, Hubby and I finished the puzzle. I have to say it was super intimidating at first but then the challenge was fun trying to find how all those crazy pieces fit together. We only worked on it on the weekends, so it took us 3 weekends to do. Yes, the accomplishment felt great but it was a blessing giving us something to work on together rather than sitting watching tv.
What were you're favorite blessings from last week that you are thankful for?
