New Summer pool memberships, black light bowling, chilly beach days, nature walks and one reeeeeally good thrifting trip… whew! Trying to do all the things and having a whole lotta fun in the process! Happy Five Things Friday!
Here are this week’s five things at random from Barbara Ann Kipfer’s book, 14,000 Things to be Happy About, plus a five-photo-roundup of things that made me smile this week. Read on for the link-up info.
Five things to be happy about:
- a dragonfly wing in the sun reflecting the color of opals
- inserting a card and removing it quickly
- three-layer red velvet cake slathered with frosting
- a roomful of books and a library ladder to reach the highest shelves
- trying anything once
Five smiles photo-roundup:

That moonlight bowling picture should be in a frame. So fun!!! My ten your old LOVEs inserting a card and removing it quickly. Wants to do it every single time. It made me smile to see it on the list!

I’ve never heard it called moonlight bowling. Love that! Growing up in Florida, we always called it cosmic bowling, but they call it black light bowling here. Who knew? I really liked the card one too. So relatable! Hopping to your blog now!

Wow Amanda, your photos are wonderful. I might have to try a 3-layer velvet cake with tons of frosting this weekend. I bet that would make me feel really happy.
