Have a calm weekend

Happy Friday, friends! Are you doing anything fun this weekend? It’s been a sad week for my family. My grandfather died last night at the age of 96. It’s been a hard day, to say the least. My mom has been in Alabama all week, and I’m glad she was able to be with him and be a source of comfort to him in the end. He lived a full and vibrant life and was the type of person you couldn’t help but admire. I miss you already, Gramps! Make sure you hug your loved ones extra tight the next time you see them. I hope you all have a great weekend, and here are my favorite finds from the wonderful Web…
 
Isn’t this waterfall braid pretty?

What a pretty file folder.

This brave writer took flying lessons even though she’s scared of flying — talk about guts!

    So sorry for your loss! At least he had a long life. One of the oldest ladies in the town I'm from just died at 92. My mom and I were talking about how just living a long lucid life is such a gift.
