Lovely Things

Today there were some lovely things which happened:

1. Kids were sledding on the little hill down over at the school playground.  I love to see them playing in the snow there.  Their colorful snowsuits against the white snow makes a lovely picture.  Two of our grandsons were sledding there, too.
2. Noah doesn't quite have the hang of sledding.  He pushed the sled and it took off solo down the hill with him running behind it happily.  Noah is 5. I didn't see it happen but I loved hearing about it.
3. I spent some time looking at quilting books in the library this afternoon.  I looked at a book on triangles in quilting and another on unusual log cabin designs.  I brought home a book with some Christmas angel instructions.  I could get started making something for next year.
4. My back door neighbor, Carolyn, provided our evening meal, turkey and biscuits, very delicious!
5. Looking through some old boxes, we found pictures of my husband in his childhood.  There were some good memories stashed in those boxes.
6. My husband has some boxes labeled "Unsorted Memories."  I've always enjoyed seeing those boxes.  I think that title describes what goes on in my mind.
7. I enjoyed talking to my niece, Jan, about her interests and what's going on in her life.
8. I gave away over a dozen of my Pysanky eggs today.  I'm making room for me to make more.  And the eggs were well received.
9. I had a lovely nap this afternoon.  (Good thing!)
10. We've started to accept Hospice volunteers to come into the home and give us a little time to take care of other needs.
11. The sun was shining today and it was a little warmer.  How could I not like that?
