It's another day to count faves and highlights. Here are mine this week -
A ladybug visited me. What a cute surprise! It's the first time I saw one that was not on a leaf or flower but on my very pillow so I cherished the moment. It hopped on some books (I read in bed) before flying out the porch. As a kid I loved watching ladybugs in our little garden. They're some of my favorite creatures.
Ma leads her group (all widows except one) to win first place in a provincial level choir competition. I found out on Facebook, thanks to a friend. So that's why she seemed unable to talk long when I rang last week. They were practising. Sometimes I get a bit annoyed that I find out first from other people, but okay, I get it - it's her way of teasing and she's fun like that.
Grandparents' Day celebration in church. It felt nostalgic looking at photos and reading
comments of their children who I went to church with. How time flies! Yesterday they were us. I am
particularly thankful to Ma for taking care of CJ while I am
overseas. How did she find the time for choirs and all that?
Last night's party was great, despite an improvised venue. The original huge street party was canceled as Thailand mourns the death of the Supreme Patriarch (head monk). I have never been that keen on Halloween parties but this year I thought I should experience one once and for all. I came as Grumpy Cat which I shouldn't have done because I can't stop grinning, but yes, it was fun :D
Brunch by Pizza Company: garden salad, cheese bread and sour cream, chicken sticks, and milk chocolate smoothie. I never eat pizza in Pizza Company, just like I never drink coffee in Starbucks, but these places are the answer when I'm hungry and lazy to cook.

Sounds like a wonderful week! I like ladybugs, too, and don't see them very often. Your Pizza Company meal looks delicious, especially the cheese bread. :)
ReplyDeleteI wish I knew it was Grandparents Day, I would have done something for our parents. Those are all great pics, I love them!
ReplyDeleteThe brunch from the pizza place sounds wonderful!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to your mom and her choir!
No pictures of your grumpy cat costume? :-) Sounds like a fun party.
I looked weird. Grumpy but grinning. I looked more like the Cheshire cat instead :D
DeleteYour mom sounds like she is lots of fun, and I'm sure she enjoys her time with CJ too.
ReplyDeleteI've always loved ladybugs too. What a sweet surprise to find one on your pillow.
I have mixed feelings about the value of Halloween, but I do love ladybugs.
