Fun non-appointment outing with Laura (since I mixed up the date of my appointment, which isn’t until Thursday….). She is so fun and lively. I love spending time with her! 😀
Amazingly delicious dinner with the girls. Cina is an amazing cook! I love that so many of my friends are good cooks…and that they like to cook for me! 😉
The Princess Bride 20th Anniversary Edition cover… the title works no matter which end is up. I love this! ❤ Thank you, Bryan’s friend, Joy, for pointing this out! 🙂
Super fun visit with the Delaneys today. I missed seeing them, so it was really great to catch up. The new house is amazing! It is just perfect. I’m so happy for them!!!
Delicious quiche during our visit. Terri is a really, really good cook! 🙂
Thought provoking, insightful, and hilarious conversations. ❤
Gorgeous, sunny warm weather.
Wonderful visit with Sarah and Ida. So much smiling & laughing! So much coloring! So much love! ❤ ❤ ❤
Lilac buds!
Impromptu hang out time with Katie. 😀
Lots of time and reasons for pondering lately. Yesterday, 2 dear and wonderful people I know died. It reminds me how fragile our lives are! And yet, how resilient we are, too. When we are faced with such tragedies, it gives us the opportunity to provide incredible love and support to the people who need it most. And so many of us do just that. I know I’ve been on the receiving end of that intense love and compassion a lot during the past few years, and am so grateful for it. And…I know that the love and care I can offer to my friends now has a powerful effect, too.
It’s amazing to me to experience, in the space of a few weeks, how much a kind word or message or, well, a ride somewhere 😉 can mean. Small gestures can have so much impact. And, having felt that, it reminds me that although I can’t fix anything or do lots of practical things for my friends right now, my small gestures can help, too. I like that.
What else do I appreciate? More little things like hot coffee, crazy blowing snow whizzing past budding trees and grass, blankets, goofy jokes, candles, raspberry jelly, stuffed animals, sidewalk chalk, and really sharp pencils with good erasers.
I also super appreciate looking forward to fun plans with Sarah, Terri, and Ellis this weekend, and weekly dinners with Katie and Cina. 🙂 Oh, and the fact that needing to ask for rides to everything means I get to see a lot more of the charming people in my life! 
Soft snow turning to soft mist coming down on greening new buds.
Cina, who is not only super fun to hang out with, but will drive me to Target. On a very regular basis. 😉
Jerilyn, who supplied us with dinner and made the evening so easy. And yummy. 🙂
Sara, for taking on so many new Skynote tasks, making the past couple weeks SO much easier. And for setting up the Meal Train for us, making the past couple weeks SO much easier. And for being a lively, lovely friend who makes my life better. 😀
Time for a little visit with Debb before she had to go to work today. 🙂
Nice little visit with Jeff this afternoon. 🙂
Katie and Cina whose energy, humor, love, understanding, silliness, and helpfulness have made these past few weeks so much better than they might have been. ❤❤❤
My dad who drove me to my NRT appointment and the grocery store today. I am so lucky to have people willing to share so much time and energy to help me.
Dinner with Debb and Cara at Punch. Delicious food and wonderful company for my first “going out” event since all the excitement began.
My super comfy couch to come home to after my eventful day. 😉
Warm slippers.
The gluten-free marble cake Mckenzie and I made!
Delicious beef stew & baguettes delivered right to our door for dinner. Thank you, Karen!
Katie and Cina, who brought me a Glam Doll donut this morning! I pretended it didn’t contain gluten! It was delicious!
Weather warm enough to have the windows open and listen to the day’s sunny sounds.
After a rough start to the day (dizzy and lots of feelings about the dizzies and the heart and the everything), managing to get out this evening and walk all the way around the block! And then sidewalk chalking my little heart out as the sun set.
Minnesota springtime. What a wonderfully interesting season with temperatures jumping all over the place, cloudy days followed by sunshine, rainy days followed by snow.
Enough energy to get the kitchen cleaned up today. I love my sunny clean kitchen — especially with that new backsplash. What a difference it makes!
Purring Luna. What a sweetheart.
