Grateful Friday

Today I give thanks for...

A short week and a low-key work-from-home Friday.

Time for a mid-day walk and a yummy kitchen sink salad for lunch. 

Payday for all four of us! Lily's two weeks in and is enjoying her new job.

A trip to the nursery for some flowers this week.

Happy hour with neighbors and Gus last Friday.

The first ribs of grilling season.

 

The first cherries too...crisp, sweet and tart.

 

A long weekend Sunday bbq with friends.

 

Veterans and their families for all of their sacrifices.

Fresh-cut lilacs that smell so sweet and remind me of our Humboldt Ave compound.

When I asked my husband where I should get dessert from last weekend, he suggested I make something because homemade is always better. I have to say that everyone who tastes this Strawberry Short Cake, raves about it. 

Sweet lady Hazel always by my side...helping me fold laundry.

Meryl accepted a position as a reporter for a local station. She and Manny will be moving to town later this summer.
