7 july






I am having coffee this morning instead of tea but I plan on going back to tea

as coffee doesn't really agree with me

This is a rather simple utilitarian white mug.

It is a rather old picture as I lost the mug in a move a few years ago.

I am feeling a tiny bit melancholy this morning

A walk on the beach is just the thing I need to put things back into perspective. 

I need to do some housework this morning

Our family room is a bit worse for wear after the Independence Day weekend.



I will be joining the mad tea party over at

a fanciful twist

on 11 July...stop in to visit anytime before then

to join the festivities.

    I love your new meme- the logo is like my memories from summers spent at my grandma's- warm and sweet. I will get busy when I leave here to see what I have to share.

    I forgot to add- the white cup is remiscent of the cup my grandma used for her coffee. Oldest granddaughter bought me one a few years ago.

    I always drink coffee in the morning and whenever we go to the beach we take coffee with us in a carafe. Actually we're headed out there as soon as Hubby get home from work. But I enjoy my tea the rest of the day. Sorry you lost your mug. I have lost so many cups and mugs with all the moves we have made and a few were quite special too. But I have given away more than I have lost so... Thank you for linking up with me for Tea Time and have a lovely day.

    Blessings,
    Sandi

    I like the smell of coffee but I've never developed a palate for the hot beverage. Looking forward to your Mad Tea Party!

    Great poem, I think you're right about the tea, it's much more soothing!

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
