Family and Friends Faves

 Happy Friday, my blog friends!  How was your week?  I hope it was full of blessings.  Mine was.  It was busy but wonderful.

Here are my Friday Fave Fives from my week.  Click on the link and join us in practicing weekly gratitude.

1.  Road Trip! We traveled to Iowa!  

The Professor's mother was born and lived in Iowa during her childhood.  Many of her family members still live there, and every June they have a family reunion.  So this year, we took Nurse Daughter and her son with us to the reunion.

2. It is always a joy to visit Sunday morning church service at the church where The Professor's mother attended growing up.  

And his mother is buried in this cemetery. 

3.  Friends.  I have a dear college friend who lives not far from where the reunion was.  So we met up and enjoyed a lunch together.  Then the next day we spent several hours hanging out during the reunion.  We even managed to take one photo!

4.  We enjoyed staying with The Professor's cousin at her farm.  What a beautiful place!  I love visiting her.  I love sitting on her back porch and just gazing out at the farmland.

5.  And she loves to cook.  This was our last breakfast.  Swedish pancakes!

We had a wonderful road trip and a wonderful family reunion.  I am thankful for the opportunity to spend the days with family and friends.
