Friday’s Fave Five

Posted on by

Welcome to Friday’s Fave Five, hosted by Susanne at Living to Tell the Story, in which we can share five of our favorite things from the last week. This has been a wonderful exercise in looking for and appreciating the good things God blesses us with.

This week it’s been a little difficult to come up with five favorite things. It hasn’t been a bad week, per se, but there have not been any standout moments that I could easily list. I try not to repeat things on FFF, but then, I know it’s perfectly fine to be repeatedly thankful for regular occurrences. 🙂 So you might have seen a few of these before, but they’re still favorites.

1. Air conditioning.

2. The end of July. I’m not ready for the summer schedule to end but I am definitely glad this hot month is over and we’re one month closer to cooler weather in the fall. It’ll still be hot here for many weeks to come, though.

3. Pizza and movie nights with the family. Streaming Netflix has been great!

4. Encouraging comments from readers.

5. Not needing many school supplies and finding good deals on them. One really nice thing as kids get older is that they can reuse many school supplies from the previous year. I had a minimal amount to buy and was pleased to find some great deals. Even last year’s school uniforms fit!

I’m looking forward to the coming week mainly because my oldest son, Jeremy, is coming home for his birthday! We haven’t seen him since Christmas (except for Skype and Face Time), the longest stretch that we’ve been apart from any of our kids.

Hope you have a great weekend!

  1. I didn’t realize that this was the longest stretch that you’ve been away from one of your kids! I can imagine you are over the moon then about Jeremy coming home for his birthday!

    VERY nice that even last year’s school uniforms still fit! =D

    Pizza & movie nights were so fun growing up. I rather miss that. Enjoy yours!

  2. Yes AC is a must this summer!!!! We also enjoy streaming Netflix…..it’s nice to be spontaneous and see what is there. And yes I totally know what you mean about reusing school supplies. My son will be using the same sturdy backpack for the third year now!

  5. I, too, am looking forward to the cooler temps of fall. I spend all winter anticipating nicer weather, but when summer arrives I’m ready for fall. Go figure.

    Our bill for school supplies was minimal this year, as I have only one left to buy supplies for. Nice, but I do miss all those new boxes of crayons.

  6. I am always thankful for a/c. I hope whoever invented it made lots of money and enjoyed it, since they have made so many people happy!

    I’m thankful July is over as well. I’m looking for fall, but like you we have a long way to go until it gets here!

  7. Streaming netflix is GREAT! I’m thankful that so far this summer we haven’t needed AC 🙂
    Thanks for the heads up on TWIW. If I can work it in, I might join you–very much down my interest alley.
    Hurray for finding the school supplies and not needing many.

  8. Looks like my previous comment didn’t load. Here i go again and sorry if it gets duplicated.

    Encouraging comments are always welcome and especially when they come in written form. So glad that there are folks who appreciate you/your writing, Barbara.

    Some weeks are just moments of ordinary with nothing big to write about. But if you didn’t have the AC or the family/pizza/movie nights, you’d surely notice THAT!

    Have a great weekend.

  10. So great that Jeremy is coming home — enjoy!!

    Any week with AC and pizza and family HAS to be good. Take care.

  11. I’m with you on the air conditioning! It has only gotten into the low 80’s around here and I’m still thankful for it. I can’t imagine long stretches of it being the 90’s or heaven’s, the hundreds!

    Enjoy your time with Jeremy!
