A Quick Fave Fives

 I am leaving on a jet plane very soon, so I am doing my Friday Fave Fives quickly.  Here are my Five Blessings from this past week.

1.  We enjoyed an unexpected fun evening with Tall Boy Friday night.  A friend from school gave him a free ticket to attend our local school district's Fiddle Fest, a night of music by the string band from all the middle schools and our high school.  We all had a great time and loved the music.

2.  I always enjoy our monthly fiber arts group get together at a local coffee shop.

3.  After the group time, Nurse Girl Daughter and I decided to make a quick detour to one of our favorite garden nurseries.  I never win raffles or door prizes or anything like that.  So imagine my surprise when I answered my phone on Monday and the caller was from the nursery.  She told me that I WON! A GIFT CARD!   AND.  So did my daughter!  I am sure there will be another visit to the nursery soon.

4.  My daughter is friends with a couple who own an alpaca farm.  They were out of town last weekend, so she went over to the farm to check on the alpacas and feed them.  I tagged along.  It was so much fun (even if she had to muck out the pens).

5.  I finished another blanket for our local pregnancy center.  Super simple pattern.  All knit rows.  Size nine needles.  Simply Soft yarn by Caron.

Okay!  I'm out the door! Yes, I packed lots of knitting and a few books!
