Friday's Fave Five
Hosted by Susanne!
Hello everyone Welcome to Friday's Fave Five. Here we get to share the many blessings we experience during our week!
Last Sunday we had fabulous church. We are studying the book Of Luke , chapter 11 , and we studied the Jesus' instruction on how to pray. The Lord's prayer is our guide and we always begin with our reverence to God.. We give Him our love and adoration for He is God and His mercies are new every morning. We see this through his wonderful attributes... for He truly is your Alpha and Omega.. the beginning and the end of all things!!!
We then got to dine out with our dearest friends, Gerri and David. This week we went for Chinese, hub's favorite.. Well, mine, too, as a matter of fact. I love true fellowship with good friends . with whom we can truly be ourselves.. After dinner we got to do FaceTime with ur daughter and grands!
Here is our oldest grand at her piano lesson!
I love to hear her play! reminds me so much of the years her momma took and we so enjoyed her practicing. I miss it very much!
On Monday we had a very quiet day which is so great to catching up around the house and just getting a bit of rest in, as well!
Tuesday was a rather busy day for me. It started out with a new Bible Study group. We are doing a short book study on Philippians through Community Bible Study. I love our small group. So much lively appropriate discussion.. The hour flew by!
I barely had time to get my lunch eaten before I was off to the beauty salon to get a body perm. This was a salon I went to about 10 years ago. but I felt the prices were going a bit high. Is I left to another new and upcoming salon and enjoyed it there until the prices went even higher.. So I got really chintzy and started going to a much less older salon mainly it seemed for older women. Well, I fit right in. but I tried to get a body perm back in January and got a granny perm instead., It took about 2 weeks of working it out before I could be seen in public. but I really didn't like it a bit. So I never went back there. So now 4 months alter I was ready to try for a body perm again. My hair is so flat. Well, I am back to the original salon because it is so close to home. the prices were not too bad, at all, the staff there is smaller. But I got a lovely perm and I have gotten nice compliments on my hair so it makes this 74 year old granny feel pretty good!!!
Wednesday was another quiet day.. I love weeks that give you a catch up rest day every other day of the week!!! And today, Thursday was quite busy again. Today was prayer day.. Our prayer team twice a month on Thursdays , taking turn at each other's homes. This mouthing we met at Gerri's on her wonderful enclosed porch overlooking the woodlands. She lives in a development that gradually climbs a mountain. and her home is right on top. So glorious this morning! Cool with sunlight filtering through e dappling trees! Glorious! We then left and drove to a neighboring town to treat Gerri for her birthday at her favorite restaurant. A lovely day and I am now home very soon thinking about getting ready to retire to my bed and work on my crossword puzzle book.
So tomorrow is Friday.. My dear friend Gerri and I are going to Weight watchers together. We started a year ago and both of us ahve lost 50 pounds.. and oddly enough we both are enduring a dry period.. can't seem to get to losing these days.. We both were on beach vacations last month and we did over do it a bit.. So it takes a bit of time to get back into the groove. But I have really been trying hard to lose couple of pounds so I have high hopes for tomorrow.
Here is hoping all a very blessed weekend and everyone stay well and happy. God bless!
Glad you found a salon that works for you and your desires! I haven't had a perm since the early 1990s when they were all the rage in NY!
ReplyDeleteHow fun to see your granddaughter at her piano lesson. I was a piano major for my undergrad degree and do still practice a few times a week now that I'm retired. sometimes I just can't believe I memorized entire sonatas!! It's much harder now......
LOVE your blog header. Are those your own flowers?? I also have a nature journal although haven't worked in it in years. I'm currently working on Bible journaling...slowly....and creating a coffee table book of old country/mountain churches I find on my hikes, etc and adding scriptures to them. I'm planning on giving one to each of my 3 younger sisters for their birthdays this year. (2 in Sept and 1 in Dec). I need to get going on those.
ENJOY the long weekend!!
My problem is my hair is fine and thinning and flat to my head.. A body perm makes it feel and look thicker and helps it stand off my scalp so it actually holds a bit of curl and and is manageable
Delete.Both our grand daughters take piano and the oldest plays the clarinet in her school band and the youngest plays violin. Our daughter took violin form the time she was 4 through college and was the concert mater in our youth symphony ands along with her husband both play in their large church in downtown Boston. I am so pleased that she is instilling music in her girls! I wish those were my flowers. I just found that photo and it really felt like me in many ways..
My girlfriend gave me a great book by Sarah Young entitled Enjoying His peace in His presence an Heirloom Edition . What I love about it it has half page lines fro journalling the many scriptures that are incorporated on each page.. it is a fine leather bound book and even though Im not into Sarah Young that much., this particular book is so special I can't wait to start journalling as I love to do! Your coffee table book sounds amazing. I know it will be treasured for years to come!!! Blessings!!!

Glad you found the right place to get your hair done and that you're pleased with the results. sounds like you had a busy week. Enjoy the weekend.
ReplyDeleteYou did have a busy week. I'm glad you had down days in between the busy days.
ReplyDeleteLove that you got to listen to your granddaughter play the piano during her lesson this week. My grandson is taking lessons too.
Enjoy your long Memorial weekend!
I've been cringing every I pay at the salon too. I know I can go to a much less pricey place but I've been with my stylist for many, many years and she knows my hair, my lifestyle, my quirks. So I just bite the bullet knowing I'll be very happy with the results. Your week does sound busy. A rest day in all that is a blessing! Love the pic of your grand at the piano.
