It’s been a few months since I’ve linked up with?Susanne?to share some of my favorite moments from the week, and I’ve missed this happy activity. It’s a great exercise for me to look more carefully for the “little” things in life and be thankful for them. Feel free to join in and share your blessings, too.
1. Steven and I were able to spend some time at a resort not far from home. The resort was practically empty, so it felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. We took a nice long walk on one of the nature trails, played a few games of ping pong, ate some delicious food, and just enjoyed being together.
2. We arrived home to a clean kitchen and a box of Shay’s freshly baked coconut chocolate chip cookies with a cute “Welcome Home” note attached. I have to admit that I wasn’t expecting the kids to keep the house clean without a reminder, but they did a great job of picking up after themselves. Oh me of little faith.
3. The ladies of our church gathered together for a evening of fellowship and fun. Nineteen ladies attended, and we enjoyed spending time together and lifting up one another’s needs in a sweet time of prayer. I’m excited to see what the Lord has in store for our church’s women’s ministry.
4. I haven’t bought any vintage Pyrex to add to my collection in several months, but I couldn’t pass up a few new-to-me pieces that I stumbled upon this week. My favorite find is the delphite blue 401 mixing bowl. I already have the 402, so now all I need is the 403 to complete the set.
5. I can’t leave the arrival of spring (officially at 6:45 this evening) off my list of faves. My first winter in the North wasn’t as bad as I had anticipated. I loved gazing at the pretty snowscapes and snuggling up in front of the fireplace, but I am so looking forward to spring! I’ve got my “welcome” flag flying.
Beautiful photos! Happy spring to you!
Thank you, Valerie! Happy spring to you, too. 🙂
Happy Spring!! I’m VERY thankful spring is finally here…now we just need the temps to warm up a bit more. Love your flag…i put a new spring one up too! Getting away with your husband must have been really nice…we have to wait until summer to do that and I”m really looking forward to it. Enjoy the weekend Paula!
Happy spring to you and your family! 🙂 Glad you enjoyed some time away with your honey and a few other blessings, as well. 😀
It’s wonderful to be able to get away from daily life with your sweetie. Glad you were able to do that! And your comment “oh me of little faith” cracked me up. 🙂
Come on, Spring!!!
That little getaway sounds wonderful. Just enough to refresh you. So nice what your family did for your homecoming! Love the colors of the bowls!! So glad spring has arrived here too though I’m sure we will still get a couple dumps of wet, heavy spring snow.
I know that my daughter is welcoming spring too in her first year in the north. The cold winter is hard to get used to. Your getaway sounds so relaxing–nature trails to walk!
Loved reading about your get-away and the kids treat for you when you got home. Enjoyed hearing about the ladies from your church gathering together – and thinking about the arrival of Spring!

Your getaway sounded lovely and what beautiful grounds to walk. I LOVE playing ping pong. 😉 And what a lovely surprise to come home to a clean place and a box of freshly baked cookies.
That is a nice turnout for your ladies group. Sharing our lives and praying with one another is a something I count on to get me through life (well). I’m looking forward to how the Lord will work in and through our women’s ministry team as well.
