Time for Fave Fives

I am away from home again, but I'm pausing to carve out some time to share my Friday Fave Fives for this past week.  It was a busy week.

1.  Saturday was fun.  Nurse Daughter and I spent all morning plant shopping.  Then in the afternoon, I worked in the garden a bit.  After that, The Professor and I met both daughters at the local arboretum and walked the dogs.

What was Older Daughter searching for in the pond at the Japanese Garden?

Koi!

And turtles!

2.  Sunday, after The Professor took his turn preaching the sermon at our church, we grabbed a quick lunch and then visited Bryn Du Mansion where the local gardeners club held its Daffodil Festival.  Yes, the theme was America's Two Hundred and Fiftieth Anniversary.

3.  Monday was one of those days when the errands piled up.  We were able to put them all together in one long trip. I'm thankful the errands all got done.

4.  As usual, we enjoyed our time with T and S at a local coffee shop.  I am so thankful for our friendship with them.

5.  Why am I gone from home?  I am attending a wellness conference called Seeking Whole Health.  I thought I'd be sitting along all day.  BUT.  It turns out that a good friend is attending with her sister-in-law.  So we've been enjoying our fellowship together and learning lots.  After dismissal today, we even got in a mile and a half walk in a local park.

What did you find in your week that made you stop and be thankful?
