Friday Favorites - October 4, 2024

 

Andrea and Erika

It's been a pretty good week. And today I am linking up with Friday Favorites.

Potato soup is a favorite this time of the year.  Who am I kidding?  Most soups are a favorite for me in the fall and winter.

I made a pot of potato soup.  Yummy!

And I have leftovers! 
I had a cup for my breakfast this morning and
still have enough for another small serving.

Watching Fall-themed Hallmark movies and crocheting is a favorite for me.

I was in the office at church the other day and had everything caught up, 
so I found a good Hallmark movie and watched that and did some crocheting.

Puzzle working is a favorite for me at this time of the year and all through the winter.

I finished this puzzle last night and will be heading to my sister's today to
pick up four more to work.

Lucy is definitely a favorite for me.

Took Lucy to the vet yesterday to stay overnight to have her teeth cleaned.
She was nervous but very excited to be in the car going somewhere. 
I'm on hold on the phone with them right now, waiting to here how she
did and when she can come home.  We'll be picking her up at 2:00
which gives me time to run some errands first.

 

Thanks for visiting today.  Hope you have a great weekend!

Thankful Thursday and Friday Photos and Friday Favorites

Good Morning:

I accidently left my computer at church yesterday, so I didn't have it here to make a Thankful Thursday post.  I picked it up today and am just now taking time to write a post.  I'm going to make a combo post of Thanks and Friday Photos.  I only have four photos and they are from this morning's walk with Lucy.  We walked around 8:00am and the temperature was 61 degrees which was just about perfect.

Lucy walking up the hill towards the east.

She was pretty much a slowpoke this morning, but that's
okay, cause I'm pretty slow too.  Some days it
seems she wants to smell every blade of grass.  lol

The moon was still out

Here's a close up

I am so thankful for beautiful mornings when I get to walk.  And of course I'm always thankful when I wake up on this side of the dirt to have another day to enjoy all of God's beautiful creations.  What are you thankful for?

Here are a few Friday Favorites.  

Working a jigsaw puzzle

It's a favorite to have another one ready to work next.

Another favorite is shopping with my sister.  That's what we did this morning.  We went to a school supply store so I could buy some things for the bulletin board in the lobby of church.  I got some really cool things for fall.  Then we went to Sam's and I got more than I really planned, but so fun.  Next was Hobby Lobby where I bought another jigsaw puzzle at half price which I'll save until closer to Christmas.

Another favorite was finishing a book last night (see in my sidebar) and having another set up and ready to start reading hopefully later this evening.

Thanks for visiting.  What are you thankful for and what are some of your favorite things.

Friday Favorites - Friday Photos

 

Linking up with Andrea and Erika again this week.

We drive past this pond quite often. Yesterday, while stopped at a red light, I asked hubby to take a picture. I think this is such a pretty place,

I just had to have a Starbucks yesterday and let me tell you it was delicious!

I got this planner/journal at the beginning of the year and I really like it.
 I use it more than any planner or journal I've ever had. I'm pretty sure I'll
be getting one for next year, too.

I'm just starting to use the weekly calendar pages a little more.
I keep track of appointments and blog posts, etc.

Each week has a page for sermon notes. And now, I attach the
 sermon handout to that page and it's quick and easy if I
want to look back for something from the sermon.

Thanks for visiting.

Friday Favorites - Photos

 

I've been seeing Friday Favorites posts for quite awhile now and decided I would join in today. So, I'm linked up with Andrea and Erika. 

Here are a few of my favorite recent photos:

Lucy's new harness. Unless it would come unhooked, I don't think she can get out of this one.
But if she would get out the door, it also has her name and my phone number on it. 
Hope they are never needed.

I love these beautiful flowers on a neighbor's mail box.

Kelli gave me this Bible Study for Mother's
Day...we'll be starting it soon. It's a favorite 
to me to do Bible studies with her.

Roses at church

My favorite tree in our yard and I especially love watching birds building
nests in the bird houses.

Current favorite book I'm reading.
