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 The solution is that I will be getting a new computer as my current one is old and quite outdated.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!

...growing up, that's what happens when you feed them well!
Oh how wonderful to have your very own computer professor in the house! And it sounds like even though he retired, he is till trying to keep up with the latest technology!That's wonderful!! We could all use a computer technology professor in our lives! It's so hard keeping up with all the newest stuff!
Oh, Happy Birthday to your Tall Boy. He is very tall and handsome. Like my grandson...he's 6'4" and I really have to look up to him!!! Of course, he's 26 now, but he's been tall for a while! Oh, the tea and scones with your daughter in law sounds so lovely!! What kind of scones were they? Whatever they were, just being with someone so special makes them perfect! What a lovely way to spend a snowy day!! What a blessing! I am happy my daughter in law lives close also, but she works full time and isn't really a tea/scones kind of person, but however, she did bake some delicious banana muffins for us this past week on her day off and they came over and we had a taco/mexican style supper, at her request and with her assistance. She probably would enjoy the tea and scones if she had more time.
It is wonderful to have a warm house this winter. Even here in Florida, we are quite thankful for our warm house and we keep a lot of blankets handy as well. Just no snow here, but we did have to scrape the ice off the windshield this morning!!! Have a lovely weekend, and stay warm!
Our mom always told us the time goes by quickly - she was right!
How exciting to get a new computer and have the Professor to help you. Where did he teach at? I graduate from UCI, class of 1977. Happy Birthday to your grandson! Mine turned 18 in November. Time does fly even faster that before! That is nice that you are close to your DIL. I have never made scones, but I would like to try someday. Stay warm and have a nice weekend!
