1. Spending Sunday afternoon and evening at our little camp. We've never spent a Sunday night there that I remember of. It was fun to enjoy our traditional Sunday night supper of popcorn, cheese, crackers and fruit at our camp! Below is the view out one of the kitchen windows, To the far left, you can just see the edge of some old stone walls that were once foundations of a farmhouse. We visited the nursery mentioned below with the idea of getting some ground phlox that will hopefully spread over the stone walls attractively. We got some in a periwinkle color.
2. Visiting the Black Forest Nursery on Tuesday. This place has expanded tremendously over the past year and is so inspiring!
3. Spending some quality time with our friend Terry, enjoying breakfast out - as well as the above mentioned nursery visit - and later, ice cream! The plaque below was purchased with Terry in mind, many years ago.
4. Getting to attend one of granddaughter Julia's orchestra events on Monday night. Always a blessing to listen to these talented kids!
5. Getting to see three of our grandchildren baptized last Sunday, along with four other young people. An added blessing is the new live stream at the church, so that their other grandmother in Ohio could watch too, as well as their cousins in Nevada!
And there are five blessings from my week!
Wow, those last pictures are the best blessings of all! Seeing your grandchildren baptized is such a blessing in today's world. So very happy for them and for your family!! may God bless them and keep them safe from the world all the days of their lives. Love your favorite fives for today. Your Sunday night supper sounds like fun, especially at the camp. Seeing your granddaughter's orchestra performance is wonderful too. Gosh, you are just being blessed all around! This is encouraging to see and hear. God bless you all!
ReplyDeleteYes, it has been a week full of blessings. There are many more I could mention if I had time to do so. I wanted to add that I had been trying to put in a couple snippets of the orchestra music via short videos. I finally got that done successfully, so if you want you can go back and listen to Julia's little band Hey Fiddle Fiddle (a smaller band from within the orchestra that also plays on its own) and also part of a sweet duet by Julia and her friend Jen.
DeleteWonderful blessings! I latched onto your Sunday supper at the camp. Sounds perfect! Have you tried those Ritz cracker thins in veggie flavor? Oh my! I won't buy them again. Too good. ☺️
ReplyDeleteYes, wonderful blessings for sure! So grateful! That Sunday supper has been our tradition on and off for many years. Light, but sustaining. No, I have not tried the veggie flavor Ritz cracker thins. Guess maybe I had better not look for them!
DeleteLots of goodness this week!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the baptism. Nothing better than this.
