Belated #5JoysFriday!
1. My dad & I are making progress in getting rid of unnecessary stuff—someone took the dresser we left at the curb, and we gave a bunch of vintage clothes & hats to a local youth theater org for costumes
2. During the above, I found a sweet “Thank You Grandpa” booklet my nieces gave my dad almost 20 years ago (we kept that!!)
3. Between rainstorms we had some glorious clear days where I could see snow on the mountains ⤵️

4. One of my college professors (Bible professor at a conservative Christian university) is posting thoughtful critiques of Trump/Christian nationalism & related topics on social media. Today: “The Christian virtues are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. I‘ve yet to figure out where contempt for transgender people fits in this list.”
5. And, that misprint from Sunday‘s bulletin! 😆 3mo

TheKidUpstairs I love all of these! 3mo

#5JoysFriday!

1. Saturday was our wedding anniversary and we celebrated with a fancy dinner paid for by a gift card from my husband‘s boss
2. After the fancy dinner, we went to a Radiolab quiz show followed by a musical performance by Julianna Barwick
3. My good friend who‘s not a big fiction reader decided to read Nicholas Nickleby since I‘m reading it right now, and she‘s really enjoying it and texting me about it!

4. It seems weird to say Ash Wednesday gave me joy, but it was a deeply meaningful day and I got to connect with some church friends I hadn‘t seen in a while
5. My husband has been all about Murderbot the last week—we read book 1 for book group and he‘s been reading each next book as quickly as I can get them from the library!
