Mundane and Amazing

Some weeks when I plan and write my Friday Fave FivesI have big amazing faves.  Other weeks, I simply share basic things in life that I am blessed with.  This week, it is a mix of amazing and basic.  Truthfully, our lives are just that, aren't they?-- a mix of mundane and magnificent.  But they are all blessings.  I am sharing my Five Faves to remind myself and to encourage all of you who read my blog.

1.  Our son and his family have a home!  They closed on their home this week!  They have been slowly moving in, and tomorrow is the big day to unload all the big furniture.

Their new home is just five minutes away from our house and our daughters' house (The Hive)

2.  Fall decor.  I don't do much decorating. But even the simplest autumn decorations make me smile.

3.  Another mundane thing that delights me.  My bunny Eleanor Elizabeth has a new dress!  I finished knitting it this morning and dressed her in it immediately.  She was so excited!

4.  Our Nurse Girl has moved from night shift to day shift.  She loved working with the co-workers on night shift, but the hours were hard, especially because she has children in the home.  Hopefully, schedules will be easier now.

5.  Last night, The Professor and I attended a 'reunion' at our local hospital where he was so well cared for in the ER and in the Inpatient Intensive Rehabilitation Unit after his stroke last May.  Every year, the Rehab Unit hosts all former patients to this reunion to enjoy a meal and opportunities to visit with their therapists, nurses and doctors and share how well they are doing now.  Actually, I also think that the reunion is great encouragement for the staff.  We are so very thankful that there is such great medical care right in our community.  (PS:  this is the hospital where our Nurse Daughter/Girl works)

Has your week's blessings been Amazing or Mundane?
