16 December




Sweet baby Verne is already two months old




I spent Thursday morning drinking coffee slowly

in an old fashioned lunch and breakfast joint 

that was all decked out for Christmas.

I love doing that.


From the town landing at Marblehead

even the fishing boats are dressed for the season



Tuck Finn has a tendency to walk up between me and whatever 

device I happen to be on at the time....

but this is might be taking things a little too far.


I saw this on facebook

I love it so much I want to make one of my own on the beach

but not till it warms up a bit...

    I love the photo effects in your SWF pictures! The stone nativity scene on the beach is amazing. That would be fun to replicate but I agree with you on waiting until it warms up. Boy, is it cold this morning in East Tennessee! Have the very Merriest Christmas ever and a blessed 2017!

    Here's my SWF link found on Curious as a Cathy, you skip the Friday Sillies and scroll to the middle of my post to see my contribution.

    The Nativity is clever! Kitties do tend to get right in the middle of whatever it is I want to do. I always know that maybe I've been sitting too long when they "settle" in! Ha! Little Verne is growing fast -- changing every day. Merry Merry to you!

    Love the beachy Nativity scene! Wow, Verne is 2 months old already. How cool that they decorate the boats! Funny about the cat and the computer - though I guess not so funny when you're trying to get something done. :-)

    Tuck Finn looks like quite a lovable character. Likes sharing? Beautiful view of the boat and sky.

    Oooo, I love that beach nativity too! Some people are so creative! Your sweet grandbaby always brings a smile when I see a pic. That two months has gone by quickly. Pretty soon he'll be running around! Tuck Finn made me laugh.

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
