Susanne at Living to Tell the Story hosts Friday’s Fave Five so we can share our favorite things from the last week.

1. I mentioned this earlier this week, but I really enjoyed that the Fourth of July was on a Sunday this year. Grandma’s birthday was Friday, we went to one fireworks event Saturday night, our church had a cookout Sunday, and we shot off personal fireworks at my son and daughter-in-law’s house Sunday night. Then my husband had Monday off for the holiday since it fell on a day he already had off. So it was a festive weekend, but not too rushed or crowded.
I love these little tanks and trucks.
2. This is one of the cutest, sweetest things I have ever seen:
3. Dinner at Fuddruckers. I think I have mentioned them before. But Tuesday night I just had a craving for BEEF! And that seemed to fit the bill. Plus I love their fudge brownies. It takes me a couple of days to finish one off.
4. AC and ceiling fans. I’ve used both this week, and I am so glad to have them. I hate to think what the electric bill will be this month, though.
5. These goodies from Karla Dornacher:
She mentioned here that she had found a box of old prints that she was putting on her Etsy shop and told the story behind the Psalm 119:105 print. I loved the print itself, but I really enjoyed reading about all that I would likely have never gotten out of it on my own. I ordered that one as well as the wisdom print, and Karla tucked in a few extra little goodies as well.
Hope you have a great weekend!

Hi Barbara,
It was great to have the 4th on a Sunday this year and have Monday off! Looks like you had some fun fireworks. Dear is threatening to get an A/C unit here after the heat wave we are having. I just tell him it will be cooler next week :0)
Have a great weekend.
Now you’ve got me thinking of Fudruckers… which we don’t have around here. 😦
I’ve never heard of Fuddruckers. What a name 🙂 Your 4th pictures are excellent and that video I just love 🙂 Fabulous FFF 🙂
Great to hear about your week! 🙂 I have a friend who is crazy about Fuddruckers… 🙂
I love your week! The Karla Dornacher goodies are very charming. And your fudge brownie must be huge? Thanks for sharing the clip. It’s my first time seeing such kind of cuteness and sweetness. Man and puppies are darling heartwarmers!
Love that picture with the fireworks all popping around. Very neat!
How fortunate for ME to come back on FFF post! I get to catch up on the whole week in ONE shot! LOL! My daughter absolutely LOVES Fudruckers! I have never been crazy about them… but I’m really not a big “burger” person when I’m OUT. I like them on the grill at home.
I’m going to look for some of those little tanks and trucks next year for our fireworks! They look so cute, and I’ve never seen them!
Has it been as HOT down there as it was up here this week? We’ve been above 100 almost every day! CRAZY! I’ve been EVER so thankful for AC and ceiling fans too!
Love your etsy buys! 🙂
I wish I had time to catch up entirely with you… but I just don’t… I’m sorry. 😦
Wish I had one of those fudge brownies from Fuddruckers!
There used to be a Fuddrucker’s in the big city years ago and we used to really look forward to it, but it hasn’t been around in a long time. I didn’t realize they were a chain outfit.
That video is so cute and I have now sent it to all my kids and my dog loving sis in law.
What nice goodies you’ve got there! They’re so pretty! I am enjoying this post. The fireworks look fun!
