Elisabeth challenged us all to find gratitude in February, so she created the Finding Joy in Gratitude Collective. Here are my FIGs for last week.

Today was so much fun. My husband, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, nephew, and I had a day out in Milwaukee. We went to a smash room and then to a UW-Milwaukee basketball game. Along the way we had delicious food, including something called a bubble waffle cone, which was amazing and now I think I might need a bubble waffle maker in my life. Anyway, it was amazing. I am so grateful that they came to visit and I'm grateful we had all these fun opportunities.

We went to the grocery store today after work. I'm so grateful we can afford healthy food. Also, we bought TWO DOZEN eggs, which made me feel sort of rich.

I got to vote today. In this time when voting rights are in peril in this country, it was truly exciting to go into the polling place and have nothing but an absolutely, 100% drama free voting experience. (It was a primary for state school board superintendent. That was the only race on the ballot. I was voter #131 at about 10:30 in the morning.)

Zelda has been so cuddly in the last few days. It has been bitter cold here and I think she's just cold. But I don't mind her winding between my legs when I'm cooking and hopping on my lap every time I sit down.

We threw out the last of the radioactive litter! There is no store of used litter in our garage. EXCITING!

Just look at this dog! Caught mid-lick! And the sunrise! What a day to be alive.

Look! A postcard from J in the mail!

What's a little something that made you happy today?
I was pleased that daughter popped by for a little visit.
ReplyDeleteZelda looks better to me; her face looks more relaxed. And hooray for toxic litter removal and more cat cuddles!
ReplyDeleteNot to brag or anything, but I also got a postcard from J! It was lovely to be thought of. It's on my bedroom mirror now so I can look at it and smile every day.
We had an overnight guest on Friday, and it was so much fun. Theo stayed with us while Jared and Jordan went to dinner and then had a sleepover at Sam and Emily's right down the street. I'm continually grateful for the way my sons and their ladies all get along so well. Jared and Emily even met for brunch one day and had a blast. I could not be happier.
Eggs were 5.99 a dozen yesterday, compared to well over $6 the last time I bought them. You know I got 2 dozen!
ReplyDeleteIt was cold last week, but we kept warm with Doggo snuggles.
Loved the illustrated recap of your week's joys, Engie...
ReplyDeleteJ's postcard was one of the sweet highlights of my week as well. It took me back to J visiting the Cassatt exhibit on her birthday!
