Time for Fave Fives

We raced through this week again.  I barely had time to catch my breath because we had lots going on.  That's why I like to join Friday Fave Fives and just pause and remember to be thankful for all the blessings that happened in the midst of the chaos of life.  Thanks to Susanne for hosting Fave Fives faithfully every week.

1.  Fourth of July!  We had a quiet day and then the family all arrived at our house just before dark to hang out and around the bonfire.  That was our 'fireworks' although we did enjoy watching all the neighborhoods around us light up with explosions of color.

2.  How many times have I mentioned that I am thankful for air conditioning?  It has been another humid and hot week, so I am so grateful that we have good AC.

3. We had an extra fun morning with our Daughter-in-law and her two sisters who are visiting.  Our Nurse Daughter had the day off so she joined us.  We sat in one of our favorite coffee shops for a long time and just chatted.  I treasure these days.

4.  Tuesday afternoon we received a text saying that our coffee date couple was at the hospital as he was having some health issues.  That certainly is not one of my faves!  But the fave part of it is that he was discharged that evening and is doing well.  In fact, we had our usual weekly coffee date with them and he is OK.

5.  We have special company visiting us!  A younger family who are part of the church we attended in Southern California arrived Thursday evening and we are so happy to spend this time with them!

How was your week?  How did you celebrate July Fourth?  Did you find blessings in the daily events of your life this week?

Sounds like you have been having a lot of fun. And certainly something to be extra grateful for with your friend being discharged and getting better!!
