It's Friday and the end of the first week of February. It is also Friday Fave Fives day. (the link takes you to Susanne's blog where you can join us) But that's not what makes this day the most important.
So why is it an important day?
1. It's Tall Boy's Birthday! He's eighteen! How did he grow up so fast?? He went from this
3. Earlier this week, two young men from a local chimney company came to inspect our fireplace. The result was the best we could have asked for. By the end of this month, we should have a safe and functioning wood burning fireplace, again!
4. I am a bit later than usual today posting my FFFs because I was busy doing something else. That something involved hot tea and homemade scones. My daughter in law invited me to spend an hour or so with her. We discussed all kinds of things. One topic was the Well Read Mom group we are in is going to be reading Dante's Purgatory in February. I have never read it, but of course, The Professor has and owns an interesting translation of it. We spent some time comparing our versions. I am loving having my daughter in law living just two miles away from me.
5. The issue with my computer not playing nicely with my camera will be solved soon. The solution is that I will be getting a new computer as my current one is old and quite outdated. The Professor has been researching all the options and has come up with the best choices and prices. I am happily anticipating having a new computer. And being able to post new photos. And. I am thankful that the other person who lives in this house is so knowledgeable and experienced with computers. (If you are a new reader of my blog, you may not know that The Professor taught computer science/literacy at a California State University for the last ten years before he retired. And before that, he worked many years for Intel Corporation. So, yes, he knows his computers.)
I hope your week has been filled with many blessings, too!
