The first full week of August has been a hot and busy one. I'm pausing with Susanne and friends at Living to Tell the Story to deliberately look and be thankful for the good things of the week lest we overlook them.
1. A baby shower for a family at church. This is the first one I've been to at this church--actually, the first one in a long time. It's fun to get together with ladies outside of church and oooh and aaaah over all the baby things.
2. A new handrail. One day this week as I stepped out onto the ramp from our house into the garage, I almost fell. I didn't trip or stumble--I just started sliding like Tarzan's tree surfing in the animated movie (though without his style). Jim heard me yelp, and I told him what happened. We've had that ramp since we moved his mother here over ten years ago, and that has never happened before.
The next day I opened the same door and found Jim installing a handrail alongside the ramp. ❤
3. Lunch with Melanie at Cracker Barrel. We always enjoy both the meal and the talk.
4. Ruby Tuesday's rewards. We don't get take-out from there often, but every now and then we want something besides fast food. When Jim suggested it, I looked through my e-mails from them and found a buy one entree, get another for $3 offer.
5. Jim's help. My oldest son is coming in this weekend, so we've been in flurry of cleaning. He's lived in my less-than-spotless house and even helped clean it for company. But someone coming in provides a good time to get to some of the housecleaning tasks I don't do every week. (The problem is . . . I still have all the regular weekly things to do. 🙂 ) Jim surprised me by cleaning all the bathrooms, and did a much more through job than I could have (he's got a scrubber thing that he uses with his drill--the showers have never been so clean!) Then I asked him if he would clean the ceiling fans--my little Swiffer wasn't getting all the dust off. So he did that and went to the store for me as well.
Bonus: Jason and Mittu celebrated their 15th wedding anniversary this week!
That's my week. How was yours/
