Summer Solstice Fave Fives

Another week in June has flown by.  And today is the Summer Solstice!  How has the year gone by so quickly?  I have to slow down every Friday and focus on what has blessed me during the week; otherwise, I just keep going and don't think about how grateful I am for big and little things.  Friday Fave Fives really helps me do that.

1.  The absolute best fave for this past week is the first thing I will mention.  Our older son Chaplain Dan flew in to visit us on Saturday!  We have been having the best time.  He has helped so much with 

2.  His sisters have been able to spend some time with him.  It makes my mama's heart 3/4 full.  (why only 3/4?  because Younger Son wasn't able to join us)

3.  The Professor is doing well, healing more daily.  We've been able to take a couple of short walks in the neighborhood.  He has daily exercises to help him regain strength and better use of his left hand.  His appointment with his primary care physician went well.

4.  On Sunday, after church, we enjoyed a family dinner at Olive Garden.  Younger Daughter's boyfriend joined us and we had a wonderful time celebrating The Professor.

5.  Our usual weekly coffee time with T and S was especially fun because Chaplain Dan was with us.  Since all three guys are military veterans, they had the best time just talking about the Navy and the Army.  S and I sat and listened and enjoyed the conversations.

How was your week?  How were you blessed?

Hi Linda. I read about what happened to your husband on FB and am so sorry - but it's great that he is home and recovering. You might recall that we went through something similar with my husband almost 8 years ago. It is so scary and such a miracle and blessing when God sends healing and recovery. So glad your children could be with you for the week. I love the picture! May God continue to bless the professor with healing and eventual 100% recovery. Have a good weekend with your family!

Praise God that your husband's recovery is going well.
How fun to have 3/4 adult children gathering together! Beautiful family pic!
And fun coffee date!
I hope you are having the perfect Summer day like we are here in eastern NY! Sadly, the temps are supposed to get to upper 90s Sunday through Wed so I'll need to close these windows and turn on the AC $$$$

YAY for visits from the Kiddos! Glad to hear the Professor is healing up and his appointment went well. Will continue to pray for him.

Hooray for wonderful 3/4 time with your loved ones! I'm sure it was a special encouragement to have Chaplain son come for a visit. Happy to read of improvement and walks and talks...
