Friday favorites potpourri

This week brought a wonderful mix of things to smile about–a Friday favorites potpourri, if you will. Let’s start with a visit from these beautiful grandchildren.

Best friends

We have an agreement: one “nice” pic and then they get to make silly faces. (Anyone else notice Wells’ face didn’t change at all?)

Funny faces!

More grandchildren — this time at Keaton’s 17th birthday party. (That’s 17 folks! He’s going into his senior year of high school. This is not possible.)

Happy birthday Keaton!

We have lawn!

And if you are wondering how our front yard made the Friday Favorites, this is what it looked like just days before.

I couldn’t resist this picture of Charlie taking over my spot on the couch. He is definitely King Charles.

This week also brought the opportunity to get a heavenly pedicure at JTB Nails & Spa with my amazing provider enrollment team at EMI Health. These ladies work hard every day and deserved a break–and, of course, I had to go along!

And finally, I’ll finish up with one more grandchildren pic. This time we were at Desert Star Playhouse with the Penney kids. Always a good time. (Thanks, Larry, for taking the photo.)

    It’s easy to get so caught up in the hustle of life that we forget to appreciate the small miracles that happen every day. June has been particularly full of stressors for me and mine…some happy, some not so happy. Anyway, it has been more important than ever for us to savor the small joys…

  • A letter to my brother

    This week is my youngest brother’s birthday. It is also the first anniversary of his passing. Actually, passing is too gentle a word.

  • Friday favorites: a picture a day (plus one!)

    Happy Friday everyone! This week’s Friday Favorites was meant to be a picture a day, but there was one day that I just couldn’t choose, so you may get a bonus pic.
