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, a wonderful exercise in looking for and appreciating the good things God blesses us with. Click on the button to learn more, then go to Susanne’s to read others’ faves and link up your own.
Here are a few favorites from this past week:
1. Puff’s Plus tissues with lotion. These feel so soothing and help keep my nose from getting all red and chapped when I’ve got a cold (I’m thankfully feeling better now).
2. Fellowship. After not having much going on socially for quite a while, we had our “dinner for six” with our new group and a Sunday School party both this past weekend.
3. Valentine’s Day. One of my favorite holidays though it was a bit more low-key this year.
4. Lindt milk chocolate truffles from both my husband and son and daughter-in-law.
5. Encouraging e-mails from readers of my latest newspaper column, saying they had been or are currently taking care of elderly parents and could identify with and appreciate what I had to say. Once I send the column to the editor, then my mind thinks of several ways people could take something I’ve said the wrong way, so it is very encouraging to hear that someone has gotten something beneficial out of what I wrote.
Hope you have a great weekend!

Sounds like you’ve had a good week….

Just linked to and read your newspaper column, Barbara, and greatly enjoyed it!!!
Puff’s Plus tissues WITH lotion is one of the greatest inventions EVER! 😉
I’m with you on the Kleenex.
Glad you’re feeling better Barbara – those kleenex are great!
Lindt milk chocolate truffles – yummy!!
Congratulations on the article.
Happy weekend!
We never celebrated Valentine’s day for he simple reason it didn’t exist. Now since a few years it moved in too, but without a lot of success except for the younger couples and teenagers. But the shops are happy, business is business !
I appreciate tissue with lotion so much, too.
I haven’t had any Lindt truffles, but anything with milk chocolate in it would be a favorite of mine!
Sounds like you had a special week and glad you’re feeling better!! I LOVE getting to gether for couples dinners, etc. There is nothing like getting together with good friends for fun and fellowship! Have a wonderful weekend!!
Many blessings!
Puffs Plus – it’s the best tissue ever! I love it too.
Your column was very good. I can’t believe they published it with all the faith statements. Excellent!
Love the signs of comfort in your week 🙂
Just popping by late after being gone for the weekend. Gotta love those lotion puffs. I keep a box just for when someone has a cold. Glad you’re feeling better. Love Lindt! They are so good.
