five finds friday
This week we started back to Meadowlark Collective. We doubled in size this year – can you believe it?
What an amazing honor!
We also started soccer practice for one.
And youth group for four.
So – you know – the evenings are shifting once again, for another season.
But it’s okay.
I’m here for it. I signed up for this and it’s where I get to be right now.
funny
I’m cozy in bed. Relaxing on a quiet Sunday morning. Novel in hand, tea by the bedside. And this sweet ten year old blonde kid I know pops up onto my bed beside me.
A winning smile.
A tilted head.
“Hey, Mom – do you want to play a game with me this morning?” A light pause. “Or would you rather keep reading that book without me?”
Nicely played, son.
fashionable
I want to wear pants like this.
But why, oh why, do they really look best on women with long legs?
flavorful
Is there anything better than a fried egg?
We like it on just about everything at our house.
Avocado toast? Of course.
Fried rice? Yes!
A burger? Absolutely.
Quesadilla? Sure.
A grilled cheese sandwich? Delicious.
What do you crack an egg over?
faithful
This week I needed to get the thermostat – or something – fixed on my car. (Next it needs tires. Ugh – any favorite tire shops?)
I had to drop the car off at the mechanic’s for a few hours and his shop didn’t really have anywhere to sit and wait. Two of my young students/ children were with me.
My dear and generous friend Hilary was kind enough to pick us up, drop us off at Tandem (because crepes make everything better) and then pick us back up again for the return trip.
Seriously – how on earth would I navigate this life without my friends?
feels
A movie shown outside, on a good clear night, with a bunch of your buddies is just delightful.
Of course, it just so happens that the movie we all happened to see was – well, disappointing at best. (It was the newest version of Dumbo. You guys. It was actually pretty terrible, in the opinion of my family.)
But watching it outside was wonderful.
