I Like Thursday #440

 

time to remember the little things we liked about this week... for me the shamrock out of fabric I made for a challenge to use our birthstone color, mine is emerald and I like the emerald ring dh bought me. 

( I showed whole photos of the shamrock on Sat's post )

what's this? can you guess? 
answer, the sun peeped around a plant and hit the back hallway. I noticed during lunch one day



 still happy to be learning French   

En Francaise : Je suis reconnaissant  (I am grateful) although it's testing my memory and recall

ps if you're studying another language, youtube has videos of stories read in other languages to help you learn.

 

they looked great 

tried a new to me recipe for sour cream orange blueberry muffins

https://slate.com/culture/2013/04/blueberry-orange-muffin-recipe-the-best-one-around-with-plenty-of-muffin-top.html 

they have NO flavor of either orange (despite OJ plus zest) or blueberries so is it frozen blueberries? 

still good for breakfast with a bit of cream cheese!

DH got me four pairs of Alpaca wool socks to help my toes heal from reynauds complications. I love how loose they are, their warmth, and antimicrobial nature. 


STILL laughing... if Americans spoke like the French.... 


we watched a great movie last weekend

 inspirational

I was able to read some blog posts this week, and ran across this totally lovely way to make "note" of the good things in life by Melva. I might have to do it too. Ordinary blessings jar.

New Free workshop on creatiuvity and healing  (online)


I signed up for this but don't know much about it. Presentations on topics I feel are important, starts in March goes on a week I think

 Our Prompt: do you compliment your mate/partner and does he compliment you? What kind of compliment feels best to you, and to him?

 I admit, I don't compliment enough, and sadly hearing a compliment is rare. Because of this prompt I did ask what kind of things did Drew like to hear. I like to hear how smart or clever I am, I love to hear a compliment on my appearance, clothes, or art. I would like people to see my integrity or kindness in dealing with others. 
Isn't it odd how we will replay a complaint in our heads but not compliments?

We were approved to adopt a puppy mill rescue, so now we wait for the right dog and the right time for me physically to handle the housetraining, and well general training, I did see a wheaten on their site, 8 years old, so sweet. 

one day.

I am grieving Milo still, more than ever. I hug his shark toy every night before bed 

now please visit these fine folk to see what they liked this week
