7QT: Good Mail, Good Meal, and Good Males

Joining Kelly because it's Friday and I'm a follower of fun linkups :)

One

Two lovely things came in the mail to me yesterday.  The first was a request for me to be a lovely girl's Confirmation sponsor, and the second was the image of Divine Mercy (that I had written about this week) from a friend.  

I was floored by both!  

Usually the mail is full of bills and junk, and it was so nice to get a handwritten note and a surprise gift.

Two

I have a secret love for watching documentaries, and I just watched a good one called Meet the Patels.

It's about an Indian (but raised in America) guy looking to find a wife, and he allows his parents to help him in the process.  It was funny, moving, sad, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.  I like the Romantic Comedy genre in theory, but it's hard for me to find romantic comedies I actually enjoy, yet this one fit the bill.

Three

I made this recipe for Butter Chicken the other night, and the kids devoured it.  My Andrew especially loves when I try a new chicken recipe, boys are so easy to please - just keep their bellies full!

It was really good, try it!  Or not!  I'm not the boss of you!  Or am I?

Here's a story about generosity and perfect timing.  

Last week, my Mum called and said she had a friend who was giving away her practically brand new washing machine because it was too big for her.  She called my mom asking if one of her kids needed it, and my mom thought of us because a couple years ago, our brand new washing machine got flooded and died and we were using a super old replacement.  Phil and my Dad went to pick up the new washing machine and installed it, and we love it!  It's so big, without a spinner/agitator/thingie (technical term) in the middle.  It's just a huge barreled top loader, perfect for a big family.  Phil and my dad were planning on moving the old washing machine up to the curb with a FREE sign, but it was too heavy for my dad's back to move.  So it sat in our basement for a day with a FREE sign on it, and lo and behold, our first floor renters had just happened to break their washing machine the same day and needed a new replacement!  What perfect timing!  The end.

Do you know it's been snowing here in New England this week?  In April?

Same snow, different flakes.  And we are expected to get more snow this weekend...crazy!

After work today, I have my 20 week doctor's appointment and then Phil and I get to go on a date to our school's auction - yippee!  A baby update and a date with my baby, life is good :)

Have a sunny, tropical, warm, swimming kind of weekend everybody, I know I won't be!
