We're seeing more green here in East Tennessee - warmer days and even a daffodil or two. I've been thankful for the sun and warmth and even more thankful for blessings that have come my way this week. It's a wonderful practice to intentionally remember the good things that happen to us day to day. And then each Friday, I get to share them with others. Come join us at Living to Tell the Story. Thank you, Susanne for giving us this spot!
1. Lunch with a friend: On Wednesday, I met with Barbara at Cracker Barrel. We do this often, usually every 4-6 weeks and I look forward to each time. We catch up on family news, solve the world's problems and laugh. Thanks, Barbara for those times!
2. Lunch with my daughter in law: This was the week for lunch out! On Thursday, my sweet daughter in law and I went to a unique restaurant. We arrived soon after it opened and by the time we left, the place was packed! Called CleanEatz, it serves locally sourced foods that for the most part is unprocessed and so tasty. Even their beverage options are healthy. You won't find a Coke or Pepsi there! They also offer a weekly menu service where you can order from their weekly selection of entrees and then pick them up at a certain day. They even offer low-carb, vegetarian and low-carb high protein options as well as their standard ones. They are reasonably priced and a great option from the frozen dinners in grocery stores. I had a burger with a potato bun and a side of steamed broccoli. The meat I found out later was bison.
3. A lovely sunset: The other evening, I caught a glimpse of a beautiful sunset. The buildings in the forefront obscure a lot of the beauty but sometimes you can still see the wonder.
4. All in place: This Sunday at 7 pm, my daughter and son in law take off from Miami for their French adventure. /There is so much paperwork involved in this adventure, and it was tense for a bit waiting for required paperwork for their two doggies, proving they were not feral and healthy enough to enter the country. It couldn't just come from their vet. They had to go through bureaucratic channels to get this certain documentation. It came in Wednesday and all is well. Max and Mosey are on a low dose sedative to help them through this change that is totally confusing them. I'll keep you all updated on their new life and adventure.
5. Duolingo: Thank you all so much for your encouragement with me learning French. Senior minds just don't click as fast, but things are going well. I can give you my name, tell you where I live, talk about dogs and cats and horses. As long as the French natives stick to a script, I will be able to converse with no problem. Learning new things is fun.
Wishing you all a very pleasant weekend.
