Friday. First week of September. Life is beginning to be back to normal. Every week seems to surprise us with routines changed and unexpected happenings. That's ok. It means we are human and alive. What's important is that we are thankful to be alive and be blessed in so many ways. Friday Fave Fives helps me with that.
1. The local brewing company where we sometimes played Trivia Night with other locals sadly shut down. The couple who we had started playing with on their team and with our older daughter Deb who is the aero-space engineer (she really is a rocket scientist!) found another local spot that plays Trivia on Thursday evenings. So we have started joining them there. It's fun!
2. Weather this week has been scorching hot and humid. Several days, we were under a severe heat advisory. Today is slightly cooler and we have had rain (and thunder and lightning). I am thankful for AC and for a safe place to live. I know that it may be boring to read this fave many times during the summer months, but a cool safe place to live is truly a blessing.
3. My veggie garden is beginning to come to its end of giving produce. But we are still having kale and tomatoes every day. And the sunflowers are still blooming. I will always be thankful for my garden.
Even the bees are happy we are home.
4. My lovely next door neighbor has been removing everything from her late parents' home and preparing to sell it. She had some furniture that she needed to pass on. Nearly new couch, chair and ottoman, and another chair. The furniture is now in our house awaiting us to rearrange our living room and family room. I am so thankful for her generosity in giving them to us.
5. Fifty-four years ago today, at his parents' thirtieth anniversary celebration, The Professor and I announced our engagement! I am thankful for all the years we have traveled the world together! We don't look much like those two young ones anymore.
