Let’s just focus on the good today, shall we? :-)
It works for me (especially since I’ve been a little grouchy lately. So some positive refocusing will do me some good, and maybe you too.).
1. Old Fall Photos
This picture of the children is from two falls ago — they’ve changed so much! (And did that soccer ball hit me in the face about one second after I snapped this photo?)
2. Children Reading
It took a friendly nudge (parent/teacher conference), but once he started, he was on a roll.
3. Father and Daughter
They went to dinner and then strolled around some outdoor shops. A good time was had by all.
4. An Old Time Radio Play
Vintage Hitchcock Radio Play presented by Florida College.
I have no shame about this. I forced graciously invited my family to attend a vintage radio play featuring three Hitchcock dramas — The Lodger, Sabatoge, and The 39 Steps.
After their initial hesitation, they loved it and I was in heaven. It fulfilled my wish of going back to the Forties for a production of the Lux Radio Theater.
And, now I think I can get all three of them to watch The 39 Steps this weekend…
5. The Harvest Dance
I helped decorate for my daughter’s fall dance at school. Talk about nostalgia…
And talk about the candy bar…
6. Enduring Marriages
I recently met this wonderful couple (he’s much happier in person!),visiting my great-aunt, who have been married 58 years! When I told my husband he said he had just met a couple at work who’d been married 72 years!
7. Vintage Wrapping Paper
Vintage 1960′s Christmas wrapping paper, from the book All Wrapped Up.
(I have samples of more vintage wrapping paper on my Vintage Fashion page.)
8. Traffic-Friendly Construction Zones
I think someone had more fun deconstructing than constructing.
9. True Value
Ann Voskamp reminds us that true value, especially for our daughters, is not found in comparing.
10. A Good Book on My Nightstand
A Little Salty to Cut the Sweet by Sophie Hudson.
This girl (the author of A Little Salty to Cut the Sweet) can write, and she is funny with a Southern twist.
So there you have it. 10 more things I love to see.
Here’s wishing you a weekend filled with what you love.
