Pie Day Fave Fives

 Happy Pie Day!  Are you all eating pie today?  It's also Friday, so it's Friday Fave Fives time.  The link takes you to Susanne's blog where you can read more about all the Faves in other bloggers' week.

1.  Finished!  I knitted this afghan for S, our coffee couple friend, for her birthday.  It was a fun knit.


2.  Family dinner at Olive Garden.  Usually, we have family dinners at our home and have everyone bring whatever they want to eat.  But last weekend, we decided to enjoy all the yummy food at Olive Garden.  One thing we did around the table was everyone telling one thing they did well during the week.  Better grades.  Work bonus.  Things like that.

3. We survived the time change.  I'm not a fan of changing our time and clocks.  It's been an interesting adjustment, but we are surviving.  We do enjoy the light in the evenings.

4.  On Monday we drove north to the town of Bellville and enjoyed lunch with our long time friends who we first met in Oregon through our church.  I worked with L at the same private Christian school.  She was secretary of the elementary school and I taught high school US History classes.  The four of us enjoy each other's company and we always have so much to chat about.   I'm thankful for long time friendships.

5.  Is spring really going to come?  Our weather this week has been warm and sunny.  And now there are more crocuses hopping up.  It looks like I may have daffodils within the next week or two-- if the weather cooperates.


I hope you are having a good day and have some PIE to snack on.  Did you get up in the night last night and watch the lunar eclipse?  We did!  And yes, I'm a bit sleepy now.  In a few hours, I will be posting (not so great) photos I took of the eclipse.

January 6, 2025

 Do you remember April 2024?  It was the month of the sun's eclipse.

Where we lived, it wasn't a total eclipse, but it was still a momentous occasion.  And amazing.


We celebrated with family in our back garden.


April was evidently a month to drive around and discover old barns.





But my favorite photos of April are the granddogs!
