Our tulips finally bloomed! Take that, coronavirus!

            What a week! I don’t think I’ve ever been more grateful for a Friday in my entire life. Though the news has been beyond daunting, there are still plenty of Winks out there. If you can’t see them, look harder because I swear to you that they’re there.  

            Please share your Winks on my site or on my social media pages. We can’t hear about goodness enough during these challenging times. Enjoy your weekend, wash your hands, breathe in the sunshine and call a friend. Here are this week’s Weekly Winks

Saturday — I listened to a 1982 Top 40 countdown while working in the yard. Good memories! 

Sunday— The Tots’ Sunday School teacher sent a lesson for them that involved watching a video of a hippo named Fiona at the Cincinnati Zoo. This little hippo’s story is super inspiring. Go Fiona!

Monday — During an early morning run, I could smell one of my neighbors cooking a fabulous breakfast. It made me run faster!

Tuesday— I interviewed an old timer from my hometown for a story (via phone), and he told me how to properly kill a chicken. At the rate things are going, that might come in handy. 

Wednesday— I found out that a friend’s tumor had shrunk. Yay!

Thursday — I sat on our patio reading for at least an hour in the early evening. Bliss!

Friday— Margot ran up to my office to tell me that our tulips finally bloomed. She borrowed my cell phone so she could take a picture of them for me (her idea). What a beautiful way to end the week!

Remember that we are all in this together. Peace and love to all of you.
