Here it is Friday again and I am running in quickly to post my Friday Fave Fives before it's Saturday. (follow the link to join us) Life is so busy right now, but it is a good busy. Chaplain and his family are settling in and looking for a permanent place to live. In the meantime, life is filled with lots of activities. Here are things I am noticing today and am thankful for.
1. I have been gone most of the day today because I drove The Professor an hour's drive away to have an evaluation done to check if he can return to driving. The answer (after two hours of testing!) is YES! Exactly three months ago today, he suffered that mild stroke, and now he is back to almost completely normal! That's a HUGE fave!
2. Having an energetic almost eleven year old around helps us increase our activity. In the past nine days, I have taken walks eight of them. In fact, today we walked three and a half miles. The granddogs joined us on that walk.
3. The weather has cooled down and we are able to get more yardwork done. I am truly thankful for a respite from the heat and humidity.
4. It's fun to see the local wild life when we are walking...

5. Fun with PAL. Besides our walks, she is keeping busy. This week, she created a cage house for me. I am thankful for special times with her! And with the other grands, too.
And, again, in honor of Tall Boy being a high school senior...

I love the cute little house and would not want to take it down. Is this your cute dog? What great news for you and your husband!!
...you sure have enjoy great family fun.
Almost eleven is a wonderful age for fun. My G is eleven and I enjoy her so much. That walk! Do you remember how exciting it was to be a high school senior? So much to look forward to! Mary
Ahh, what a joy to have PAL in your neck of the woods now! Congrats to the Professor in getting his driving privileges back. A high school senior, wow! Time doesn't stand still and growing kids reflect that the best!
Wonderful week! I can almost feel the fresh air as you take that walk with the doggies. So many good things to anticipate as your son and family get settled.
Those grands keep us on our toes!
What a great week! We've had a lovely respite from the heat, too--so enjoyable. How fun to have PAL there.
Love the tinker toy house!! (at least from my view they look like tinker toys...my girls would play with those and legos for HOURS!).
I'm super thankful that here in NY we are having perfect late summer weather. For us that means temps in the 50s at night and 60s/70s during the day. It's my fave for hiking.
LOVE that you took time to do walks. And praise God regarding your husband recovering from the stroke!!
That's good news about your husband ! The little house is nice ! Protects you from sunshine, which is missing here right now ! Grandchildren grow so fast my 14 year old Toby reached now 2 m = 6.6 ft ! I feel like a dwarf besides him !
