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! 😆

#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!
Continued ⤵️

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!
