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.
I am glad the Quiz night and wine tasting event went well and how lovely to spend some time with your son and his family. Good luck with the sewing.
ReplyDeleteHow nice that your hubby knows his way around the kitchen!! Time with your son and family, even a short time, is to be cherished. Glad they had a nice vacation! Kudos on a successful fundraiser for The Hub!! Have a blessed weekend and week ahead!
ReplyDeleteTim does a lot of cooking but usually for himself
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you had a great week, with lots of fun activities. Ours was rather quiet. How nice that your husband cooks, too!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it great when the hubby cooks? Mine does most of our cooking, too. It's a definite blessing.
ReplyDeleteTime with your son and his family is always a fave, too.
It does sound like you live in a wonderful community.
Have a good week!
It's so nice to live in a great community. Glad you got to visit with your son and his family for a bit. Yay for progress on various projects. Supportive husbands are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteRick loved cooking, but taking care of the garden was a punishment for him ! He had no green thumb at all and even watered fake flowers when I was on holidays !
ReplyDeleteYour community event sounds like it was a lot of fun. Great way to get out and meet people. Glad you were able to squeak out that little visit with your son and family. How nice that your hubby cooks and got around to those outside chores. I like to cook, clean up not so much so I'm grateful mine helps with the cleaning of the pots and pans.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a lovely week. It's nice to spend time with family even if it's just a short visit.
