Joy List Monday
♥ a weekly ritual ♥
a reminder to stop and pay attention to the little beauties
and graces that make life magical and to set aside
time for gratitude each day
♥ hearing "Good Citizen Stories" from our National Guard son Sam.. as local Milwaukee restaurants surprise the troops helping with COVID19 testing with lunch and dinner
♥ spending time celebrating the 4th of July with family at Home Sweet Home
♥ red, white and blue desserts
♥ watching firefly dance in the trees
♥ enjoying a good book on the deck with a summer breeze
♥ playing with old fashioned sparklers with my favorite people
carla, That was so cute, the sparklers. Your dessert looked great and fun in a jar. Glad your guardsman was treated well by the citizens. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
ReplyDeleteHow awesome that they surprised the troops! Your dessert looks really good; like strawberry shortcake in a jar.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to show appreciation by treating the National guards with dinner.
ReplyDeleteShowing appreciation is so important. I'm glad your son was treated so nicely.
Your 4th of July dessert looks absolutely delicious. I'm glad you had a wonderful day with your loving family, celebrating with sparklers and fireflies.
Oops, I forgot my hugs.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Julia
Looks like a good day despite the current circumstances. The desserts look yummy!
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to hear the good stories...people treating other people the right way. Love your sparklers! Enjoy your week.
ReplyDeleteOhhh, there went my comment again!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWell I will not let Blogger get away with eating my comments....
So I will break up, what I wanted to say!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo wonderful to have "Good Citizen Stories" from your son!!!!
ReplyDeleteAll the so-called-news shows, is not good Citizens, who want to tear our Country down, rather than improve it.
ReplyDeleteAnd this can be demoralizing. At least to me.
ReplyDeleteWe have to believe that there are many, many, many Good Citizens out here!
ReplyDeleteWho do not want to tear our Country down, to improve it.
We have to.
And love to see you mention Fireflies!
ReplyDeleteI am loving them this year!
After years of not seeing as many!
Yessss!!!!!
Glad that Sam was shown appreciation by the local restaurants. Glad to see you had a great 4th. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about your JOY posts yesterday and I'm so glad to see one today. They really brighten my day and remind me to focus on the little joys that pop up. Even now, amid the craziness, there is so much good. Thank you for helping us to focus on it, even if only for a moment. ❤️
ReplyDeleteYum, we enjoy the peanut butter M&M's. That was nice of them to feed them lunch and dinner. Love those kind of stories too. Love your joy list and I miss seeing fireflies.
ReplyDeleteOops where did my comment run off too? Thanks for the Monday joys on Wednesday. I'm a bit behind! Love fireflies. Love sparklers and love summer night so much for knitting
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful 4th of July!
