The Fridays keep coming, seemingly faster each week. It's good to pause in the busyness to remember and give thanks for the good things of the week with Susanne and friends at Living to Tell the Story.
1. Dinner and photos. We had the family over Saturday night to hear about my youngest son's trip to RI to visit my oldest. Jesse doesn't take a lot of pictures, but he did manage a few. It was fun to hear more about the trip.
2. Pudding Chip cookies, recipe here. I don't bake much any more with just the two of us, especially with my husband working hard to keep his blood sugar down. So it was a treat to whip up a batch of cookies for the family get-together and send some home with the kids. I substituted King Arthur Measure for Measure Gluten-Free Flour for the flour called for, since we have a couple of gluten-intolerant members, and everything came out fine.
3. Discovering a beautiful song. While baking, I had BBN Radio on. I heard a new-to-me song titled "This Is the Will of God." The voices, melody, harmonies, and rich lyrics all captivated me. I was going to email BBN to find out who had sung the song. But then I decided to poke around YouTube and see if it was there. It was!
The notes on YouTube share how the song grew out of the author's study about God's will. The group is Forever Be Sure. I spent a little time reading their "about" articles and listening to some of their other songs. I look forward to listening to more!
4. An uneventful cardiologist's visit. I felt like I could just phone in this one rather than driving half an hour to this appointment, except for their having to do an EKG and listen to my heart every visit. But it's good, very good, that things have been normal and there are no new issues! I see the physician's assistant every other visit and love talking to her. She answered a couple of long-time questions I had not been clear on. Maybe by the time I see the doctor in December, we can go to once-a-year visits instead of every six months.
5. Afternoon shopping and errands. I've been wanting to visit the large At Home store which is just down the street from the cardiologist's office. So I figured I'd wait til I was on that side of town. I didn't find quite what I wanted, but at least now I've got visiting that store out of my system. I enjoyed roaming around the store.
Also in the same area is a Great American Cookie shop. I love their peanut butter cookies and hadn't had them in a long time. In all honesty---they weren't quite as good as I remember them. Maybe Crumbl Cookies surpassed them. But Crumble Cookies changes their selection every week, which can be fun---but I always know GAM will have their familiar fare.
And that wraps us this week. How was yours?
