Friday's Fave Five

Susanne, over at Living to Tell the Story, has started this great weekly post. Five favorite things about this past week?

#1 Beautiful fall weather, only one day of rain which we really needed. We hit 70 degrees most days.

#2 Leaves on display. Fall is hands-down my favorite season and the leaves this year are gorgeous. My grandson, Landon, just yesterday saw a pile of yellow and red leaves underneath the tree at the end of his driveway, and instinctively asked, "Mama, pway leaves? Mama, pway leaves? Mama, pway leaves pweeze?" Somehow little kids just know this time of year leaves are made to run through and throw in the air.

#3 We caught up on the episodes of Survivor, the first TV show I ever started following, seven years ago. Lucky for me I missed the year with Richard Hatch, sans clothing, but I've caught everyone since then. Watching Survivor makes me so thankful to be at home, in my pjs, curled up on my sofa with my knitting while they're all out there, getting eaten alive by insects and arguing like nobody's business.

#4 Pumpkin pie and Caramel apple creamer are both back in the store, and I started my morning coffee with one or the other every single day this week.

#5 Favorite quote of the week from my readings: "Say what you mean without being mean" from Wife After God's Own Heart, Elisabeth George. Something that will stick with me, and hopefully be reflected in my words.
