the thing I love the most about my town is the sea

and that it is my man's town

when mountains crumble to the sea i will still be loving you

~
my sister had surgery on wednesday

the spots that were on her liver were found to be pre-cancerous!

so we are all extremely happy and relieved and overjoyed

that she will not have to go through another round of chemo

and all that stuff
~
we have the boys for the next 9 days because of school vacation!

i will have to get to the market to stock up on boy food...

ice cream, oreos, clementines, chicken puffs, cheez-its...

~
Sure is a wintery winter

folks around town are saying they can't remember when we've had 

a more wintery winter


 ~
happy valentines to my  sweetie

if mountains crumble to the sea there would still be you and me

    When my son's friends came over we called them "the locus" as they come, they devoured everything, then left the cupboards bare. Enjoy them though as they go on their own ways so quickly!

    It is good to find the cancer early before it takes over. I love the ocean but I live far away from it.

    That's a good thing for your sister. I hope everything remains ok. The sea image is lovely. I can see why it would be something that you love about your city.

    Love the lines of the poem. I'm glad to hear the good news about your sister, I hope she continues to heal. Ahh, boys and food, just thinking about those two things brings back memories of my two sons when they were young. Really like that shot of the sea with the splash of red.

    So glad your sister got good news, mine didn't. She died of breast cancer 40 years ago. I still miss her so. Your photo is beautiful.

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

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.

 ~ ~ ~ A bit of reading material.  I've been collecting books again... I've almost finished Think Indigenous.  My daughter bought it as a gift for me but decided to read it first. She loved it so much it took her a bit to part with it. I am loving it as much as she did and have put it down almost all the way through  because I don't want it to be over.  Macro tex
