Time to join in with Susanne and friends as we look back on the week and find our favourite things to be grateful for. Join in here.
1) Firstly I am grateful that Hubby's laptop is still working. Mine has got itself stuck in a never ending start up loop so it is not booting up at all. I will try and get it looked at but it will probably give us the kickstart we need to source new laptops for both of us. We promised ourselves new ones for our Christmas present but haven't bought them yet. I can feel a shopping tripping coming on for Monday! Hopefully we'll get sorted quickly as Hubby uses his laptop a lot so I'm grabbing a chance to use it now while he's gone out.
2) Summer weather. We're having a heatwave right now - temps up in the low 30s. It's not set to last past the weekend and actually it's too warm for me but it definitely is summertime.
3) Ice in the freezer. I usually drink a lot of tea but at the moment I'm drinking a lot more water because of the heat so to have ice to add to it is a blessing.
4) Being free to help out with the grandchildren. Granddaughter Ella hasn't been well this week so yesterday I got a call asking if I could get Nathan to school and then we also collected him and took him to his tennis lesson. I know our kids are glad we are retired too!
5) A visit from one of Hubby's sisters on Wednesday. Felt like ages since we seen her so it was good to catch up.
And a bonus one - YouTube tutorials - I'm sure there's one for every thing you could possibly think of but I made use of some knitting ones today.
Oh and one more bonus:
I love this photo because Ella can often be a bit cool towards me, especially if her Mummies are around. She's usually fine with me if I'm on our own looking after her but on Monday, despite Mummy being in the room she actually came to me asking to be picked up and snuggled in. Thankfully Mummy managed to grab a photo and of course Nathan had to join in too.
Right that's me done. I hope to catch up with your posts on my phone but leaving comments still seems to be a bit hit and miss with Blogger & Google. It often tells me to sign in to my account to leave a comment but when I try it says I can't.
Have a lovely weekend all - we'll be busy with family.
Computer issues can be such a frustration! So glad your husband's laptop is still working. Darling picture of you and your grandkids. I hope you have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteThat picture is PRECIOUS!! Good luck getting your new laptops! It's a process. Hot as all get-out here, too. Have a good weekend, Wendy!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely photo of the three of you. Comments are z problem at the moment and I can't work out why. I keep coming up as anonymous even when I have entered my details.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you... spending time with my grandkids is always a bonus! And yes, that's a sweet pic. My little 3yo granddaughter can change her moods so quickly, so I never know what I'm getting, but she is a sweetheart!
ReplyDeleteWe thoroughly enjoy being the taxi cab service for the grands.
ReplyDeleteSweet photo of your littles. Nathan has grown so big!
I hope you can get your laptop issues solved soon. Computers are wonderful tools but they can sometimes be tyrants.
Happy weekend to you!
Aw, the photo of you and the grands is so sweet. Good luck with the laptops! And, yes, aren't youtube videos the best? I learned some new crochet stitches with some.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the computer issues. My kids love getting new technology. I don't like the learning curve, but usually once I get to know a new machine, I like it better than my old one. It's so nice to be able to help your kids when needed. How sweet that Ella came to you for snuggles even with her mom there.
ReplyDeleteIt was really hot last week here, too. Weather reports kept giving out heat index warnings. I like my beverages really cold, too.
Yay for You Tube tutorials! My husband just used one to work on our washing machine. I've used them for all sorts of things.
I've had trouble signing into some Blogger accounts, too, on my desktop and phone. It keeps saying I need to sign into my Google account, but when I click to do so, nothing happens. So far it seems to work ok on my laptop.
The photo is precious. :-)
ReplyDeleteWe are hot here too.. and it is not my favorite weather.
We are so hot and humid it is making the highway buckle in areas, that is really scary. We had a friend just miss one of these situations. Thank goodness! The police had to close the highway until the area could be fixed.
My grand daughter does the same - when her mother is around. Such a cute picture of the three of you.
