28 march





I live in Massachusetts and grew up in a town, in fact once lived in a house, that was 
built in the 1600s.

This is not the oldest building in town.

It is the Old Coast Guard Station. 

It was build in 1898 and given to the town by the coast guard in the 1970s.

It is used for the American Legion and town events now. It is directly across the 

street from our house. The first and third pictures of it are from our porch.

    I love old buildings. One day Hubby and I are going to take a trip to all the New England states. We have seen pictures and it looks so pretty up there.

    Beautiful... Anything that old, and being loved and preserved, has to be beautiful.

    It is a very simple unadorned building. I was empressed in Europe with the houses, they are built to last for centuries. I wish Americans would look on architecture differently, thanks for sharing.

    It is a lovely old building. I'd like to hear about that building you grew up in.

    A beautiful building, you are so fortunate to see it every day. Love the first image, the flower adds a romanticism to the scene.

    I love that second shot. showing the whole building in its natural setting is great.
    I had too re-read the text, I thought you said this building was from 1600 but,,,, no was a house you lived in. so where is that house now....?

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
