Friday Favourite Moments #17 & #18 2026 On A (Very Late) Tuesday

It's been awhile since I've written a Friday Favourite Moments post but I have still been gathering my favourite moments each week. So even though it's well past time for last week's moments, I wanted to share the moments from the two weeks before that. The moments I am writing about happened between April 24 and May 8. I will try and post about last week's favourite moments tomorrow.

I thought this entire post would be about dance but I did have some non-dance related favourites in these weeks. (I did start trying to write this post on my phone while watching a dance rehearsal but I wasn't very successful.)

1) Visiting Tessa and Andrew’s goats

You all know I’m not an animal person so I was shocked how much I enjoyed playing with the goats. I even let Scout sniff my face and Tip jump off my back!!!

2) Games at church

We attended a church games night (mostly at the kids' impetus since Dave and I were tired) and there was ice cream, there were good friends, there were games -- it was actually a lot of fun!

3) Setting up the deck

We got furniture on the deck, we got more pots of flowers, we cleaned. Now we just need good weather to enjoy it. We did manage to have our first supper on the deck a few weeks ago and it was so great!

4) Starbucks and errands

We walked a few errands and stopped for Starbucks and it was really fun! I love living close enough to walk everywhere.

 

5) Work treats

 

You know it will be a favourite every time a co-worker brings work treats. A few weeks ago two co-workers brought treats and it was excellent!

6) Dance, dance, and more dance

 

Getting to watch most of Rachel's rehearsals, and volunteer at her shows, was a definite highlight of my weeks. I'm so thankful she still lets me take pictures of all her costumes! Performance weeks are crazy but so much fun!

Seeing Rachel dance on pointe for the first time was also a definite favourite moment! I may have cried :)

7) Birthday treats

 

My birthday was overshadowed by dance but Rachel did buy me the Starbucks that morning (on the way to the shows) and I got Dave to buy me those gorgeous roses that night. And as you will see in a future blog post, my birthday celebrations were merely postponed a little :)

 

8) Reading on the deck!!! 

The week after the dance show I mostly caught up on sleep but one afternoon it was warm enough for me to live the "reading on the deck with a drink" dream. It was glorious and I can't wait for more warm afternoons. 

So there are two, rather belated, weeks of favourites. I'll try to have this week's post for you tomorrow but we shall see as Sam and I both have hair cuts and I might be too tired after to write anything.
