Friday Favorites

This week has been good, in spite of my short list today.

Edwin gave us a game in Spanish last week...Scrabble in the form of cards.

In Colombia, people have 2 last names (mother & father's).  The initials of Edwin's last names are Q & P, but he also added B for Bridges.

I take Isabella to tennis lessons at a nearby neighborhood 2 mornings a week.  One of my good friends here lives in this neighborhood & has 3 kids, girl, boy, girl.  They are almost exactly the age differences as my older sister, brother & I.  I love watching them interact, making me think of how we might have been as kids.  This is me with this youngest, who I hold most every week. 

One thing I am thankful for this week is to be feeling better.  Last week & through Monday, I wasn't feeling my best.  I had mild cold symptoms, but I am feeling much better now.  

This week was Ash Wednesday.  Many Christians I know also give up something they enjoy for lent.  Usually, it is a favorite food or drink item.  I have even done this in the past.  Being in Colombia, I feel like I have given up many of my favorite things year round.  I read on another blog about  this...Reverse Lent Challenge.  I really like this idea.  

We have no major plans for the weekend, other than to run a few errands tomorrow.  Hope you all have a good weekend...& stay warm from the snow & ice!
