17 February




 I posted this a few years ago on my facebook page.

Lucky me...I live in a house by the sea 

and the window sills are littered with shells, 

and sea glass, and driftwood, and bits of twine.....




 One of my favorite parts of working with toddlers 

-other than all the hugs and kisses and laughter

is how sweet they are.

This delicious box of chocolates is from one of my little students.

 


my poor mum fell and broke her hip on MLK day.

She spent about 3 weeks in the hospital and rehab

and has been home a few weeks now

but cannot go upstairs.

She's sleeping on her couch in the living room.

Yesterday I took a picture of her bedroom for her....

she hasn't seen it in over a month.


Bonnie and Verne came down to visit my mum yesterday!

I had taken the day off to drive her to the Dr. 

and they were able to meet us at her house when we got home!

She was so excited!


He's getting so playful!

Every time I see him I more deeply in love!

He's just about 17 pounds now, he eats oatmeal, and he's 4 months old.

    Verne is adorable. Sorry to hear about your Mom. I bet she was thrilled to see your daughter and Verne. Little folks are the best! I have all of the shells I collected when I live "on the water". Fun! Have a lovely week.

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
