this week was good because of...

...the unique feeling of "coming home" to Michigan for the first time since we moved here.

...gratitude that a potentially major car problem was minor and inexpensive.

...all the scrapbooking I got done at Potter's Ranch this weekend.

...Faithful Blonde's daughter wishing I could stay longer - and that I'd brought Wildcat Guy with me.

...the loveliness of driving on wooded back roads.

...fireflies in the evenings.

...20+ miles per gallon.

...a friend's recommendation for a hairstylist.

...turkey sloppy joes.

...this recipe for popcorn cake, which turned out deliciously.

...a sense of genuine cohesiveness with my immediate colleagues.

What made your week good?
