Friday's is the day to look back on the previous week and find the good things. Susanne reminds us to do this each week and provides a link up space here. Thank you Susanne.
Well I have been trying to keep a gratitude log this month - inspired by Linda who blogs here so that ties in nicely with the Friday's Fave Five.
1) Yesterday I briefly mentioned being grateful for the lovely community here in Highams Park where I live. We had been to a Quiz Night combined with a wine tasting event organised by the owner of our local wine bar but held in the church where we run the Food Bank with proceeds going to the Food Bank. It was a great event and it was sold out. The Church was FULL. It was a really fun event - we had 3 wines to taste with questions on them - most of our answers were probably guesses lol. Plus there was a trivia round and a music round. I went with my Hubby, 3 other volunteers and one of their friends and I think we all had a good time. I certainly did. It was lovely to see so many people supporting The Hub.
2) Time with my son and his family last weekend. It was quite brief - I collected them from the airport after their holiday at around 6.30 pm so by the time we got back it was time for the grandkids to go to bed and my son and DIL didn't stay up too late either but we had some time with them on Sunday before they headed off for home and to collect their dog from kennels.
3) A Knit and Natter session on Wednesday. My WIP (which is actually finishing my daughter's project) is almost done. I'm working on a border and then there are just the ends to sew in. JUST the ends lol. (Crafters will understand.)
4) Progress on an extended family matter. I spent the day on Wednesday with 2 of my SILs which was nice and we did make some progress. Still a long way to go but every little helps.
5) A supportive Hubby. He usually cooks breakfast most days and the main meal and is happy to work around our timetables which is a great help to me and when I was out on Wednesday he cut the grass and cleared up leaves in the garden - without needing a reminder lol.
Have a good weekend all.
WOW your hubby does the cooking! I'd love that.....well, mine does cook sometimes but I actually enjoy cooking healthy recipes so don't mind :)
ReplyDeleteThat's wonderful you were able to join in on the wine tasting night and support a local ministry as well.
YAY for finishing your project (I'm SO not a crafter) and for gaining progress on whatever your family issue is.
I hope you have a good weekend.
