Grateful Friday

Today I give thanks for...

Both of my man's sweet gestures this week. Two books by one of my favorite authors...Erdrich novels I have not yet read despite the fact that I've been reading her since college. And second row center seats to see my beloved Rickie come belt out her first two albums this summer.

This quote from Erdrich's Shadow Tag...
Infatuation, sudden attraction, is partly a fever of surfaces, an absence of knowledge. Enduring love comes when we love most of what we learn about the other person and can tolerate the faults they cannot change.

Heart shaped pizzas.


Another massage. More relaxing than penetrating this week.


Late start days this week. Slow starts to the day are always a welcome respite.


T. Bone and Miss Bit are slated for a sleepover at Grandma and Grandpa's tonight. Me and hubby get a night out. Everyone's happy.


A friend sharing a long ago saved voicemail from my Mom this week. It was sooooo great to hear her voice and remember her sass and spirit.


Promise keeping politicians and
the fact that the teachers in my children's school chose to come to work this week. Many in our state threw their students under the bus so to speak.

A secret valentine from a friend waiting outside my door Monday tickled me pink.

Festive sugar sprinkles.


The sweet look of surprise upon these actor's animated faces.


Before bling...


After...


These two for escorting Miss Bit and I during our dinner out last weekend.


The love I have for my littles.

A long holiday weekend.
