I love to turn the calendar to a new month's page. In one sense, it's just the next day after the last one. But there's something about looking ahead to birthdays and holidays of the month as well as the unfilled days.
Fridays, though, we look back at the week that so quickly passed by to search for and acknowledge the good things before their memory slips away from us. Susanne at Living to Tell the Story hosts this weekly gathering. Feel free to join in!
1. A visit to the Ark Encounter in KY, which I described here. (My apologies to those of you who have seen this referenced three times this week. 🙂 Some who read my monthly recaps or Friday's Fave Five only visit here for those posts.) The opportunity came through a friend of Jason and Mittu's offering us free tickets, good through February.
2. Amazon gift cards. I was looking through gift cards I had received but had not put in my purse yet, and was surprised to find two Amazon gift cards I had forgotten about. It was like receiving a gift all over again.
3. Hand towels from Mittu's mother. She visited them for a long weekend and gave me some hand towels that she had crocheted a strap for, as well as some trivets. These are nice to keep the towel from sliding off the rod.
4. An agreeable prescription. I mentioned last time that my bone density test had shown "a little thinning." I was called in to talk to the doctor about it and was a little miffed that we couldn't just discuss it over the phone. But he agreed that since the bone loss was so minimal at this point, I could just take calcium supplements and engage in weight-bearing exercises. He mentioned a few available medications, but I didn't want to start those if I didn't have to. One bonus about being there in person, though, was that I was able to ask him about the wounds that caused me so much trouble over the last several weeks. They had healed over but were still discolored. The doctor said they looked fine and the redness in some areas did not indicate infection.
5. Closing for Jesse's house. We had a couple more hiccups in the process this week, but finally all the papers were signed. He's excited to move in this weekend.
Bonus: Daffodils are blooming already!
That wraps up February!
