    Friday’s Fave Five – September 15

    This week has passed in a blur. I intentionally jotted thoughts on a sticky note on my desk to help me remember some of the highlights so I could do a Friday’s Fave Five post. Here are a few. Haflingers. Recently, I spent more than I ever dreamed on a pair of slippers to wear…

    Friday’s Fave Five – September 8

    After tapping out a newsy post here yesterday, I wonder if I’ll have anything to say for Friday’s Fave Five. It’s a challenge to look for little moments that spark joy and gratitude sometimes.

    What’s On My Mind

    We’ve enjoyed a great week that included a fun and fabulous visit from Gerry’s sister, Barb, and her husband, Laurie. Company means an opportunity to play tourist in the city where you live and we did that. We also just enjoyed spending time together laughing, enjoying good conversation, and playing a fun new game (Codenames.…
