End of February Faves

 I am late to the Friday Fave Fives party this week.  I have been having difficulties posting.  After writing up my whole FFF post, it has disappeared.  No idea why.  But anyway, I am back, endeavoring to try again.

I am truly thankful for Susanne at Living to Tell the Story for hosting Friday Fave Fives every week and encouraging us to remember to be thankful for all the good things that have happened to us.  So, here are mine.

1.  Another reason I am late posting is that yesterday, Friday, I had an outpatient medical procedure (planned).  Results are good, as far as I know.  The Professor provided transportation and took excellent care of me.

2.  Last Saturday, I attended TWO knit group activities.  One was in the morning and is the group I host with my daughter Nurse Girl.  In the afternoon, I spent a few hours with another group that meets occasionally at a friend's home in a town south of me.  A good time was had by all at both meet ups.  I mean, what could be better than knitting and snacking all day?

3.  A fun three mile walk with my daughter and the granddogs.  We walked, talked and sipped on hot teas while wrestling the dogs who are called The Mongrels by her.  The weather was perfect.

4.  Another wonderful hike with our daughter-in-law this afternoon.  We hiked a trail we usually don't take.  It was a new one for them, and I have only done it once.  The path follows the river along the canal that once helped link Lake Erie to the Ohio River.

5.  My new laptop is becoming more familiar now to me and I am able to transfer photos from my camera to the computer.  Here's proof:


Come back for more!!

I hope your week has been wonderful and full of blessings!

I’m so glad all is well. I know they say a picture is worth a thousand words…maybe not here, as I love reading the text, but I do absolutely miss your pictures when they go missing. Wish I could be in one of your knit groups. It’s so nice to be inspired by what others are creating. Mary

Gret that you are making progress with the computer! The barns are so sad. Wow, you are in great shape if you can walk this much!

Your knitting groups sound like so much fun and the hikes with your daughter (in law too) are such great exercise and a wonderful time to catch up. Glad you have not given up on the new computer and the vanishing posts - so frustrating!

Knitting and snacking all day is a great idea especially as I imagine there was a lot of good chatting going on too. Glad you're getting to grips with the new computer and we can look forward to more great photos. Enjoy what's left of the weekend.

Glad you’re figuring things out with the new computer. There’s always a learning curve with new technology. And how nice to get out in nature with those you love this week.

I'm jealous of you that you got to hike this week!! Not here......much too much ice and snow although yesterday it started to melt some but today it's only 25 F so.....sigh....my first official hike is March 20th in a town about 35 min north of me and I am SO hoping most of this white stuff is gone by then. I can deal with the mud.....
YAY for those barn pics!! and that your medical procedure went well.
Loved your blessings this week.....have a wonderful week ahead.

I'm glad your procedure went well and you had good care. If I knitted, having a whole day of knitting and snacking would sound good! Glad you got to do that and go on some hikes, too.

Visiting you today, for the first time, from Ellen's blog (The Happy Wonderer). Long-time friendships are such a blessing, and how special that you both blog!! I'll be lunching with some blogging friends in a couple of weeks. Love your knitting!

Good for you on making progress with your computer. Getting new electronics always really stresses me out especially when things don't go the way they are supposed to. Wonderful that you were able to do a few hikes this week. Love the barn pics. Glad you're medical procedure went well and that your hubby took good care of you.
