Welcome to Litsy!

I missed last week again! #5joysFriday

1-2) I attended the dinner & received the cornerstone award and flowers from Operation Homefront
3) I finished lots of cards and mailed out most of them
4) Tree decorated!
5) & most importantly son made it home safely from the long drive from north Arizona for Christmas break and it‘s just the best thing ever to have my whole family home
Bonus) I had an ablation yesterday on my lower back-fingers crossed

Friday‘s long gone, but I still want to share some joys from the week.

💛 Baking Christmas goodies
💛 Holiday festivities at school
💛 School‘s out for Christmas break
💛 All the gifts are wrapped
💛 Extra snuggles with the pets

Another late #5JoysFriday post but here they are:

1. I received my Black Friday Grab Bag from #OnceUponABookClub & the mystery book (shown) looks good. Book mail is always joyful.📚💛

2. Really yummy lilikoi cheesecake served with lunch at board meeting- tastes of joy.😋

3. Fresh fish I ate this week—two examples: Ahi Bibimbap for lunch—the ahi & egg were cooked perfectly 😋 Dinner of Mochiko-crusted Ono. The mashed Molokai sweet potatoes & ⬇️

1. I got some holiday stickers from my #adventcalendar.
2. The neighbor‘s cat has been visiting my mom and I.
3. I went for a walk this week and I had my dog‘s collar in my pocket. My dog Toppy passed away on 10/25. It was muddy on the path I walked on and I got mud on my leg.
4. I got some pre-approved Dec ARCs
5. I got new music from Taylor Bradshaw. I own physical CDs of his music but I don‘t own them digitally.
