Friday's Fave Five #893




Welcome Friday!  Our time to pause and reflect and be grateful for the blessings and good things from our last week.  Please join us in sharing your 5 favorites!  I've had an exhausting week, it being the first week back after time off, so FFF is a good discipline otherwise the good stuff might get buried in the tiredness.  Thanks for joining in with sharing 5 of your favorite blessings of thepast week.



~ Taber corn ~    



It's that time!!   The first couple of weeks of August brings the early varieties of Taber corn to the street stands.  Peaches and Cream first and then Honeycomb.  We bought a dozen honeycomb and they are disappearing fast.  So delicious hot with butter and salt, Taber corn is so good we aslo eat it cold straight out of the fridge with nothing on it.  Cooked of course.  I love August simply for the fact it brings Taber corn fresh from the fields.  


~ new glasses ~   


This year was time for an eye check up and seeing my old frames were about 6 years old   I went for new frames.  The local optician I have dealt with for years retired and closed his store so I was leary of getting new lenses in old frames as no one will guarantee them anymore if you did not purchase with them and some places even charge an extra fee.  I wanted something different than my last pair but nothing too crazy.  Found these frames at C*stco and thought they fit what I was looking for nicely.  I hate glasses shopping, it takes me forever to choose but  C*stco was only the second place I looked and I found several frames I liked within a relatively short period of time and had these picked quickly.  They were similar to another pair I found at my eye doc's store but almost less than half the price!  I also found a pair for prescription sunglasses very quickly.  So glad it didnt take me forever and a day like it usually does.  


~ short work week ~

very thankful it was a short work week this week.  Getting back into the routine of gettin up early is always tough for me.  That one less day really helps.


~ adirondack chair ~  

my very thoughtful hubby gifted me with a new foldable, adirondack chair after the cheaper one I had broke on me.  So thankful for his thoughtfulness as I use it alot during the times I'm outside with the kids.  This one is much sturdier and it folds we can store it better for the winter.


~ good day with the knee ~

after a not so good day with both knees on Wednesday, I am very thankful for a really good day yesterday.  I don't know why some days are better than others but it's a blessing that the better ones are getting more prevelant than the painful ones.  I'm rarely taking a pain med at this time so that is something to be very grateful for.
