FIRE, HOPE and a Few Other Faves

 Good Friday Morning!  I hope your week has gone well.  Mine was busy although I was able to find some time to relax and rest.  Our weather has been hot and dry.  Even so, we have been able to do some work in the garden and take a few short walks in the evenings when the temperatures cooled down a bit.  As I looked back over the past week to choose my Friday Fave Fives, this is what bubbled up to the top.  (the link takes you to Susanne's blog where you can find other bloggers who have written their FFFs, too)

1.  Bargain hunting with Older Daughter.  I was looking for a couple of items and so we ventured out to explore the local thrift and bargain stores.  Score!  I found a laptop desk, the kind to use while you are sitting in your chair.  And some fall decor.  It's almost autumn!

2.  A successful episode at the dentist.  I had two very small spots on two teeth that needed attention.  I greatly appreciate my very skilled and caring dentist who spent at least half his time with me refilling vials and pushing needles into my gum to continue to numb the area.  Evidently, I do not have "normal nerve pathways" (to quote the dentist) so I don't respond to normal anesthetics in a normal way.  But in the end, I am fine, and he was relieved to have me out of the chair all healthy and even more relieved than he was.  I am very grateful for such a kind, caring and competent dentist.

3.  Several coolish evenings this week meant we could have bonfires.  I love to sit out on our patio and just relax while I watch the flames.

ready to light the FIRE!

4.  Hair cut!  I love my hair stylist!

5.  Two Bible Studies I am part of began this week and are both studying the same book-- Revelation.  I love that one had a statement that the main topic is HOPE!

September Fave Fives, Week One

Good morning! Here it is Friday, already.  AND, it's September!  Where has the year gone? Where did the week go? It's already Friday Fave Fives time. Let's get to it.

1.  Twice this week, we had coffee time with our friends T and S.  I know I mention this as a Fave often, but it is always a blessing to spend time talking with them about everything under the sun.

2.  Garden produce.  Mostly raspberries and tomatoes. So so yummy!  When I can just walk out my back door and snack on freshly ripened tomatoes, it is such a treat.

3.  Friday, we enjoyed an evening at the local Sweet Corn Festival.  The band Shenandoah performed and we had a great time.

4.  Summer weather in Ohio is not my favorite.  But now, we are seeing a bit of a drop in temperatures, and that is definitely a Fave for me.

5.  One step in the right direction with my laptop computer issues. Our local neighborhood fix it guy took a quick look at my laptop and diagnosed a problem. And he didn't charge us for his ten minutes of time because there wasn't much to do... click a couple of buttons and give it back to me.

That's a short version of my week.  How was yours?
