20 May




My very, very favorite part of the week was 

getting this picture of my grandson! 

Isn't he just the cutest thing you ever saw!

Due to make his appearance in the world on 2 October.

Joe and I got married a few weeks ago.

We didn't have a ceremony. 

We went to town hall and did everything right there

one Monday morning. 

It was exactly as we both wanted it. 

~
I came home last night to beautiful flowers from friends

in congratulations on our marriage.

The whole house smells heavenly this morning. 



It is teacher appreciation month and we have been gifted with so many

wonderful things from the parents where I work.

I am a teacher in a toddler class and I love them to pieces 

but it's hard work!

They tire me out and it's so nice to feel the appreciation the parents have.

It's beautiful out today! It's bright and sunny 

and is expected to get into the mid 70s!


and....a bonus this week...

can I just say how happy I am that it's Friday.

I've had a bad cold all week and I'm so ready to relax a bit.

    Congratulations on your marriage! So glad it was exactly as the two of you wanted it. Sweet and beautiful gift of flowers. How exciting to receive that picture of your grandbaby! I work with age 1-5 and I totally relate to how exhausting it is! Have a wonderful relaxed and restful weekend!

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.

On the table

 ~ ~ ~ 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
