Friday's Fave Five

Its been some time since being able to post here. I have been quite busy this summer and today have a bit of respite being at home catching up on all those mundane chores that have to be done. So here are this week's Fave Five for you!!
1) My long time friend Jane was here this week visiting from her home in Las Vegas. We have been friends for over 30 years and it does not matter how much time passes between our visits, we are able to pick up where we left off and it seems like no time ever passes for us. I really enjoyed her visit this week, and I miss her already!!
2) My hubby who made sure we could get to all the things we wanted to see and to visit while Jane was here. He was our driver the whole visit.
3) A week off work so that I would have all the time needed to enjoy Jane's visit. It has been hard to get even a day off work this summer with lack of staff, and everyone working.
4) Cooler weather! We have had a very dry hot summer and as a result our province has a lot of forest fires burning. The bit of respite of cool weather has really helped all the fire fighters do the work they are doing. The bit of rain has not helped much, we do need some more.
5) Outdoor concerts: We are going tonight to the last of the free outdoor concerts held throughout the summer. There has been excellent musicians playing, and wonderful concerts to be enjoyed!!

A Small Gift for my friend Jane

I am blessed in my life to have a friend, Jane who has been in my life for the past thirty years. She and I have been through lots together, living in small town Saskatchewan in somewhat isolation and to have found each other there and become friends for life. We don't get to see each other very much but we do keep in touch with each other all the time. She lives in the States now and me here in B.C. With the wonder of this internet we can keep in touch each day and keep current with each other's lives. I miss though seeing her and sitting in each other's kitchens over the latest pots of coffee discussing everything that is going on with each other.
That is why I am so excited to hear she is coming up here for a visit in August! So far away!! I can hardly wait.
So in the meantime I have a little gift for her. I know she comes here often to visit and see my latest pictures so I have one just for her. We both share a love of Hummingbirds. Aren't they fascinating!! I can sit for endless periods of times lost in just watching them do their thing.
So Jane, this one is for you!!

Starting the countdown of days till you get here!!
