Favorite Things Friday

I've had a very leisurely morning since this is a day off for me.  My FTF for this week?  It's hard to pin it down. I think it's the feeling of time that I have today.  I had a great chat with my husband before he left for golfing. Read a couple of chapters in my latest novel and took time to do the crossword puzzle in yesterday's paper. I'm dressed and doing my blog work before I head for the garden to do some planting. After that I head to the garden center to spend a gift certificate Don got from his last school, and I'm going to get all the flowers needed for my pots and to fill in my perennial beds. Don't think I'll be doing any quilting today since we're leaving this evening to go to a symphony concert in Minneapolis this evening.

Both daughters called me this morning. Jo in Bulgaria to say she's had a great week and she got a great package from me today. For once, she liked all the things I put in the package, especially the pink and black headphones to wear while she's running at the gym. Tessa called to say she's finished the second interview for a job she really, really, really wants and she thinks she did well.  Fingers crossed she get an offer this afternoon.

I think my favorite thing is the sense of time I have today--time to do the things I need to do as well as the things I want to do. And no pressure to finish anything!

  3. I love "free " days. All those hours and a sense that it's just OK to potter to fill them up. No rushing, no deadlines, no worry.

    Those are the best days ever.

    Good luck to Tessa . Im keeping my fingers crossed for her.
