My First September Week in Five Favorites

 Good morning!  It's Friday!  Willow's Week has been full of our two full time (temporary) jobs:  nursing our daughter during her recovery from ankle surgery and searching for a new home.  Here are Five Faves from this week which I am sharing along with others via FRIDAY FAVE FIVES.

1.  My daughter's ankle is healing well after her surgery two weeks ago.  I am so thankful the doctor was able to remove the external stitches today and she is cleared for 'starting' to put weight on it.

2.  We have the best realtor.  He is helpful and patient and persistent.  While we haven't yet found 'our home', we are being very interactive with the realtor and looking at properties nearly daily.

3.  Weather.  Lots of rain.  We don't have to be concerned about drought here.  And according to my girls, the weather 'broke' today and it wasn't muggy.  (See?  I get to learn lots of new things!)

4.  Listening to Daughter #1 (the rocket scientist) and her dad talking about old movies.  They both love movies, especially old ones, and they can discuss the pros and cons of them all for hours.

5.  Family dinners.  It's one of the reasons we moved here.

What blessings have you found in your week?

That is great that you are living near family now and can get together for dinner. A good realtor is always plus. Hopefully you can find your perfect home soon. So glad you daughter is healing up from her surgery.

I wish you the same luck I had when I was looking for an apartment ! The first one I saw I fell in love with it and Mr.G. loved it too ! I didn't even look at other's couldn't find better 'quality/price ! And now we are feeling real good here. Good that your daughter's foot is healing so well it's not so easy to start to walk !

Good to hear that your daughter's ankle is healing well and she seems to be making good progress. Family time is the best. I'm sure you'll find somewhere to call home soon. Our move seems to be dragging on and on at the moment. We're hoping to get better news on Monday. This week has been very difficult.

So nice for dear daughter that you arrived there when you did. Happy to hear things are getting better for her. Sounds like house hunting is going well. Enjoy the rest of Labor Day weekend.

I hope you find just the right home. I'm so glad that process for us is finally over. Your mention of old movies reminds me that I should pull out a few old favorites for a change.

Oh how wonderful for you to be near family. I never would have thought this when I was young but it turns out that being near family is what it’s all about for me. Love them so much.
