Three Beautiful Things This Week

Three Beautiful Things This Week was inspired by a wonderful blog that Three Beautiful Things. Everyday, Clare writes about 3 Beautiful Things that happen each day in her life. It's a wonderful blog! I can only hope to imitate her in a very small way.

1) It's been a busy and exciting week for me.  Things happened that I never thought would happen.   It's nothing that others would be interested in knowing, but the small things have come to really mean a lot!

2) Pixie and I enjoyed our DQ after our last visit to the nursing home hospice patients.  The DQ in the town where we visit has a free doggie dish.  Pixie loves her doggie dish!

3) The heat wave should be ending by Saturday!  Today was so hot, but I am so grateful to have air conditioning.  I don't know how people who don't have air are coping in this crushing heat!

 1)  Painting is finished!!!  The only problem is, all the walls look blue, and neither color I chose was blue!!!  Oh, well, The walls look beautiful!

2) I came to admire a young man this week.  I wasn't sure about him, but when push came to shove, he stood up for what was right.  I have a great deal more faith in the "younger" generation now.

3) It's HOT outside!!!!  That's nice, too!!!

1) There was one absolutely perfect day this week, and that was yesterday!  The weather was beautiful.  There was no rain and no storms.  Peace was palpable.  Wow!  It was a good day.

2) I love to see the looks on people's faces when Pixie is doing her therapy dog work.  They look at her with such love.  I even heard two nurses talking about her.  The said that she was the best dog ever!!!!!  If only she knew!!

3) I spent a day in bed this week.  Even though I was sick, it was nice to just lay around and rest.

1)  Somedays, it's really difficult to find a good thing, but everyday this week, there was a bit of love and a bit of laughter.  Sometimes, I think that's all that we can ask for, so when it happens, it is joyous!!!

2) Pixie loves going to the nursing homes.  She loves the ear rubs and the tummy rubs and all of the people who give her attention!!  I have to smile as we walk through the nursing homes.  She gives so many people so much joy!

3) I mowed the lawn yesterday.  Oh, my!!  The lawn was very long!!  All the rain that ended our drought has caused the grass to grow.  You won't hear me complaining about mowing the lawn this year!!!

1) The snow that blanketed areas south of us, missed us.  The little we got melted within hours of hitting the ground!!!  That's my kind of snow, and warmer weather is on the way!!!

2) I had lunch with Sister Alene yesterday.  It was great!  She is a lovely woman and a wonderful example of a religious woman.

3)  The bump on my head is finally getting smaller, and the bruising on my neck is gone.  That is progress!!!!

1) I got new shoes!!!  I love it when I get new shoes.  These shoes help my feet not to hurt!!  I love my new shoes.  They aren't the kind that blink with likes, which I secretly covet, but they are fun and funky!


2) I scored a new tool.  You'll see the effects of it when I make my new headpins!!  It was very expensive, but I'm not sorry I bought it.  Oh, well, sometimes we do have to splurge.


3) Pixie was so cute last evening.  I had to run to the convenience store for some milk to make yogurt.  I had put her leash on her, and I went to open the door, leaving Pixie with her leash on in the kitchen.  I fully expected her to follow me to the car.  Suddenly, I realized I was alone.  There was Pixie in the kitchen not moving.  She gave me this look that said, "Come and get me."  So, I went.  Picked up her leash, and she was content to leave the kitchen as long as I held her leash.  I should have known better!!  I did chuckle at that!!!

1) I'm almost caught up with Downton Abbey!  That is one of the advantages of being sick, at least when you are at the point of being able to lift your head up enough to see the TV!

2) Pixie is just beautiful!!!!

3) It was a good start to my Weight Watchers journey, I lost five pounds when I was sick.  I don't recommend it as a means to loose weight, but it did get me started!!!

1) Oh, the cleaning bug hit this week.  I have a huge garbage can full of junk and a trunk load full of items for the local thrift store.  Wow!  Does this feel good!  There's still a lot to go, but this feels good!

2) I had lunch with my dear friend, Sister Alene this week!  It was so good to see her again.  We always have fun, and the food is always very, very good.  This time we ate at Olive Garden.  Delicious!!!

3) We are getting the rain we have so desperately needed again.  The days are still warm, and the nights are cool.  I love this time of year as nature ripens and the rains come.  What a good week it's been!!!

1) I received this photo in an email, and does it describe the weather we have had! It's been HOT and HUMID! However, I'm NOT complaining. 6 months from now, we'll be covered in snow and will still be freezing our butts off. I can live with this weather. I'm grateful for it! It's warm!

2) Pixie continues to have gas! The bad news is that her gas is loud. The good news is that because of her love for Activia Light, her gas no longer smells. I am most grateful for that accomplishment!

3) I am also EXTREMELY grateful for the good test results that Jenny had after her first week of chemo. Everything is normal! Praise God! Thank You, Lord!

1) As a family, we are going through some tough times right now. Jenny's health is a huge concern for all of us! However, Pixie has shown how tough she can be! She made herself very comfortable at Jenny's! This makes for good vibes and less stress right now.

2) The support we feel from friends and family really helps us to stay afloat during this stressful time. We are most grateful for the continuing love and support!

3) In spite of our concerns, we are still being blessed with many moments of joy! The love and the laughter is there, and this is what I hope we remember from this experience!

3) We've had 3, yes, count them, 3 of the most amazing weather days in a row. Temperatures were in the high 70's! This is amazing for March in Minnesota!

Sunday
1) The greyhounds were visiting at Pet Expo today. I couldn't help it. I had to buy Pixie a Valentine's scrunchy to go with her collar. She was the most beautiful greyhound there! No other grey had a valentine's collar. No other grey had a scrunchy! She loves her new collar, too!


Tuesday
2) This morning the landscape was a landscape of contrast. Where the fog floated down the river, the trees were kissed with the softest fur of ice. As we climbed the hill to go home, the trees were black without the white kiss of the fog.

Thursday
3) I finished my state taxes today! If you don't think that's a beautiful thing, you don't know my organizational system! I'm so happy to be finished with taxes!
