#5JoysFriday on Sunday! @DebinHawaii

1 - 3 the poppies and bluebonnets are up and LB is 17.5 months old
4 - 5 These 2 books, recommended by my eldest girl, @SarahBradley , are beautiful MG novels in verse 😍

If you haven‘t played, please feel free!

I‘m posting #5joysfriday on a Saturday.

1. I participated in a Facebook group answering a question about journal discoveries.
2. I live in TX and I saw this list of 25 independent book stores that was posted on Instagram. I didn‘t know we had so many independent bookstores.
3. I caught up on the #noplacelikeholmes buddy read
4. I caught up on the #christiescapers buddy read
5. The Fable app has reader summaries now.

A crazy week for work with 2 Hilo trips & all day meetings & when I got home last night I just crashed so, it‘s a Saturday #5JoysFriday list for me.

1. Good flights, a couple of upgrades, & seat-mate readers in the wild bring me joy. I love readers! 📚💛

2. Last Saturday on my field trip, a favorite Indian restaurant that was closed was reopening. 🎉 I got takeout & asked if they had their mango lassi & she gave me a free one & a big glass ⬇️

I'm a day late, but I wanted to join in. The last few months have been awful. However, the last few days, I've started feeling so much better. 🤞I'm out of the cycle of constant asthma flare-ups and chest infections.
My 5 joys are
1) 🌞📚☕️🐞🦋🐦‍⬛🦉
2) The dawn chorus
3) Gloria
4) It's Mother's Day tomorrow, thinking about my beautiful mum, gone for 22 years but never forgotten.
5) My aunt's gorgeous yellow magnolia

#5joysFriday Hard hard week at work so I‘ve got to think really hard on this one.

1) attending a friend‘s award ceremony for her book
2) even though I‘m 57, Mom @Doll8455 still checks up on me 🥰
3) going to my daughter‘s induction into Phi Beta Kappa Honor Society this morning
4) it‘s close to only 1 month before son comes home from college for the summer
5) I may be close to hiring a new paralegal (my previous one retired)

#5JoysFriday!

My first three are more treasures unearthed from the garage:
1. Beautiful blue glass vases which I have filled with larkspur from the garden
2. My brother‘s soccer shirt from when he was a kid in the early 80s, featuring the name of their sponsor: “Drugs-N-Such” 🤣
3. My summer library reading program certificates from childhood, one of which proclaims: “The Sizzler Proudly Salutes You”
