Friday’s FAVe Five
Walk with us for awhile and join in each week as Susanne has introduced us to focus on reflecting five favourite things, be them large or small, blessings obvious and gratefulness we dug into our hearts to share with others.
FFF#11- I think
1. Deadlines have a way of making things happen. Yes, I fell behind all kinds of deadlines this week, and put everything on hold while my brother and his family visited ( it was worth it). Then this week I had 7 deadlines to meet and as I said deadlines have a way of making things happen, I met them all Wwwwohhhooooooo.
2. Sea Glass found on the Beaches of PEI. You know what that means, yup yesterday was Thursday and it was my turn to pick the place, the thing, the do, and lunch. We went to the Beach, set up and had a picnic lunch, picked sea glass, visited Terri at Fire and Water, then ate fish and chips at Rick’s in St. Peter’s. Yum

3. I miss my brother. I was thinking of him today, while I was at the same beach that we went picking sea glass together at. I’m glad we had a visit.

4. Frugal never felt so good. I have been named the Queen of Frugality! Ya that is a big one. Imagine what the name tag would look like. This week I was frugal in every way, come have a look at my frugal flip flops.
5. Side by side with My French Gardener. We played side by side yesterday and today we will work side by side. We have a hurricane on the way, notification has put us on alert with emergency services. We will pick up the yard, tie up lawn chairs, take our business sign down, fill water canisters, put candles in each of the B&B rooms, make sure the lanterns are full, and pray the power is only out a short time. We have 8 guests in the B&B tonight and for the next couple of days. I wish everyone well and I hope I’m back in service on Monday to tell about the storm. Happy weekend everyone.

Sea glass ? I have never heard of it where does it come from, broken bottles ??
Yes, broken bottles, shipwrecks, pottery, garbage dumps and the all time favourite a bon fire on the beach and the bottles left behind.
I have often thought that I don’t really work better under deadlines — I don’t like the pressure — but I DO get more done with them.
Hope the hurricane fizzles out before it gets to you!
Thank you Barbara, the hurricane frizzled out, however we are on stand by with the Red Cross.
YAY for YOU – taking time to play and STILL making all those deadlines! WELL DONE! I’m glad YOU got that title of Frugality Queen! That means I’m off the hook for a few more years! I can spend spend spend! LOL! Now all I need is money….
Money helps,
Sounds like a lovely week. Someday I hope to visit PEI to walk your beaches, pick up sea glass and stay in a B&B.
LOL on your frugal flip flops. I will tuck that info away (with a bread tag) for when I can use it.
Deadlines sure make me hustle. Glad it went well for you.
Stay safe.
I hope that you make that some day soon, the walks, beaches, sea glass are all so lovely.
I’m glad that you had such a great visit with your brother!
Picking up sea glass kinda sounds fun – on such a beautiful beach!
Happy FFF!
Nothing motivates me like a deadline! Congrats on meeting all your deadlines.
Praying you are all safe and sound as that hurricane passes you by. I’ve been keeping my eyes on the news and thinking of you and Kathie.
That sea glass is lovely.
Thank you, our power was out from 8am until around 1:30 and all is well.
Wow — you met 7 deadlines? Kudos to you!!
I love your Frugal Flipflops idea — that’s great.
Thinking of and praying for you in the hurricane. Been there, done that — hope it skirts you. Take care.
So glad to hear that you had a good visit with your brother, Cindy. I sure hope the hurricane misses your area. Will be praying for all of you on P.E.I. to stay safe and dry.
Safe we are all, dry not.
Wow that was a lot of rain.
I love the flipflops! I wonder how long they will last that way?
What will you do with the sea glass?
Well the flip flops are on day 5 I think.
7 deadlines all met? You deserve a gold star! Glad you had a good visit with your brother. He seems like a fun guy!
Loved your list! The pics are great and I’m so glad your visit w/your brother went so well.
My dh and I absolutely loving the flip flop fix! I have four dds and I am sure I will use this many, many times!!
dd’s dear daughters
dh dear husband
A picnic at the beach sounds wonderful, and I love your frugal solution to broken flip flops. It’s a good thing you got to spend some time with your brother. I hope that hurricane is not too bad. Have a great weekend!
Thanks for stopping by my blog! You have a lovely blog! I am marking it to come back and visit when I have time to take it all in!
