Friday's Fave Five

 Welcome to FFF!  Hosted by Susanne!



Time seems to fly from one week to the next!  We live in a high  pollen area  and I have been highly affected... Even though I get allergy shots every week  and have for years.. the pollen still   wears me down. I didn't make it to church or to Bible Study this week. I do  hope to go to Prayer meeting tonight! 
💧💧💧💧💧
I am so very thankful for the   soaking rain we have gotten over the last couple of days...  even though our basement did get a bit of water in the wash room,  the  pollen is  languishing in the ground  now.  We will have more    rain in a few days.. Perhaps  it will   do away with the last  bit  still  to  emanate from our lovely  trees!
💪💪💪💪💪💪
Last week I  was  evaluated on  how much I had improved in therapy, and I  was able to start my second  round    of four weeks.. I have promised to  get more  therapy in  here at home..   and since we have no  trips   or other  encumbrances, I am well on my way  to  following up on my promise. I am  doing  my round of exercises every other day which  is  good..  Thank you, Lord  for   leading me in this endeavor!!!

I have plans to do a bit  more reading than  I have been able to do of late.  I was able to read  a lovely   novel  over  last weekend.. mainly while we were driving, and   I enjoyed it so much more than I had  for some time. I  have a couple of books on my  mantel   I am anxious to read.  so  I pray that  my eyes will still be  interested!!!

I, also,  had gotten  several days behind in my Bible reading, ... the  assignment is a chapter a day from 4  different books from both Old and New Testament.  not so much,  but a lot if  I am really trying to  really take it to heart! I was able to make  up  6 days in 2 days this week,  and now I only am 3 days behind!  I hope to make  up  those this afternoon!!
 I do not like being behind!!!

Lynn just came down to commend  me on the deliciousness that is wafting up the stairs.  And indeed,  the house  is rich in savory goodness!!   Because of my efforts in  therapy,  I am feeling much  more myself and  have been cooking  again. Today, I am braising a beef stew  which  is  really    making us  both feel exceptionally joyful!!    Thank you, Lord for  your faithfulness in every area in our lives!!!
 
 Well, it has been a rather quiet week for us, as I just haven't felt like being out and about,  but being house bound has been a lovely thing!  I am always  so pleased when Hubs is pleased with me!!!

  1. These are all wonderful blessings: a home to cook good food in; getting caught up on your Bible reading; reading for pleasure; working out; Rain to bring more flowers and hubby's compliments. Have a wonderfully relaxing weekend. It's supposed to rain here all day tomorrow in eastern NY so I plan on cleaning and reading. OH.....my ENT last year told me allergy shots only work for about 3-34 years and then you should get retested and if you choose allergy shots, they'll match you up with your latest testing cause your allergies tend to change (if seasonal) every 5-7 years. I never knew that. I chose NOT to get allergy shots for my birch tree allergy and this year the symptoms are not too bad....i take one rx med at bedtime from end of March through end of June.
    I also have a regular daytime allergy pill that so far i haven't needed yet.

    Will pray your allergies let up!

  2. Glad you are feeling better! Beef stew sounds amazing. I love reading. The pollen is bothering me more this year, too--not sure why. We had some rain today that I hope washed the air out a bit.

  4. Good news that you are feeling better, and way to go on the exercises.
    I would love a more home-bound week with lots of reading and time puttering in the garden.
    I hope the pollen just washes all away.
    Have a good weekend.

  6. Your blog is looking mighty cute and springy. Glad that the rain gave your allergies to pollen some relief. Good job on working on your therapy. And now you have me craving beef stew.

Farewell

 After  17 years of   blogging  I am  pretty sad to  just fade  out  with  hardly  anyone showing any   farewell,  concern  about my  surger...
