23 August


the tide


They walked to the beach together. In the gloaming.
It turned out to be something they did quite often that summer.
And they held hands. His was smooth and tiny and  her's larger and wrinkled with time.
On rocks worn smooth by the sea they sat to watch the sun set.
Then they walked home.

    Oh those grandmother memories - they're so touching and nostalgic. Always thinking, "why didn't I ask; why didn't she tell me " but ok with the nearness and the love.

    Once again, it is a WARNING to all binary option traders,
    please don't open an account with U Binary Options, as they'll scam you out of your money.

    Another great aspect of playing chess online is that you
    can take screenshots of the game when you win (or lose), so that you can easily keep records
    of your games for future reference. The particular cell phone you use will identify if it is compatible together with your
    preferred software program. Remember, opening an account with a bookmaker should not cost
    you money.

    That way, finding out how to copy PS3 games will be much more effortless than ever.

    Bingo games are games of fun and very thought-provoking.
    Each animal card comes with its own identifiable attributes too - like the warthog increases in ferocity when it's provoked or the snake can sneak in for advanced strikes.

    Whilst this might sound odd considering that mobile computing
    (in notebooks, smart phones and tablet computers) is very common in today's society,
    it is important to note that - decades ago - computers used
    to be massive; in some cases, the size of a small room.
    You must also look at the terms and conditions of the gaming site before becoming the member.

Abby and Hopie time

  ~ ~ ~ Abby and Hopie go to the beach. On Saturday my granddaughter, Abigail, asked if she could come to her Hopie's house all by herself. Of course, I said I would love that! Her older brother, Verne, wanted to go to a friend's house and her younger sister, Natalie, is too young to be away from mum for an overnighter. So...it was me and Abigail for the weekend. She wanted to stay 2 nights! I think she may have been slightly motivated by the need for some alone time and Natalie's late night crying. ~ We cooked homemade cornmeal waffles together for breakfast. When your grandmother is a Montessori teacher you learn to cut your waffles up by yourself. You can see the concentration on her face.  I didn't help at all! Verne's first day of Kindergarten! I drove up in the morning to watch him get on the bus! He loves it! On Monday morning Abigail and I drove back up to her house. My daughter, Hannah, came over with delicious donuts and Bonnie made a breakfast of bacon, s

First Snow

  Happy birthday to my beautiful daughter, Bonnie. She brings me so much joy. My first snow day of the year! I work at a Montessori school and we are getting our first big snow storm of the year so.... SNOW DAY!!  I made my own hummus last weekend. It was delicious. I added a little bit of turmeric along with the chickpeas, lemon, tahini, and garlic.  I plan on eating a more plant based diet this year. It's only been a week and I'm already feeling better. I did eat two slices of mushroom pizza last night and ended up having heartburn so it will be a good long time before I eat dairy again.  Each month one of our families brings in a bouquet of flowers.  We cut most of the stems off and place them on a tray which we place on the children's table.  We place another tray with a very small pitcher and a few very small bud vases.  The child fills up the pitcher using water from the bathroom sink, brings it back to the table and pours the water in a bud vase of their choosing.

a basket from the farmer's market

  A basket from the farmer's market. When I was a child my mum always had a fruit basket on the kitchen table.  Fruit was always an option if we were hungry at any time during the day. I had the same when my children were young and I noticed while visiting my daughter last week that she had a basket of apples on her table for her children. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree... I tend to put a basket of vegetables on the table as well.  Root veggies mostly since they don't need to be refrigerated.  I think that they look beautiful and why should fruit have all the fun! My favourite part is that everything (even the basket) came from the local farmer's market. It's so important to support local farmers.
