Auld Lang Syne


Me



I love you

My daughters, step-daughter and my grandson.



Still laughing

I love this picture of Verne at his birthday party!

He's so funny!


Winter wonderland

It's been a very cold end of the year 

and I've seen sea smoke on the water for the past few days.




Birthday

Verne turned 1 in October!



Friend



I was inspired

I was gifted an old doll house from work

and I was inspired to bring it home 

and paint it all up.

It's been christened  Christmas House 

and will be a holiday tradition from here on out. 


Spring fever

The warmer weather brought the kite-surfers out in droves!

They are so majestic to watch on the water.



Travel or vacation

  I didn't travel anywhere this year but I did get out to the

Beacon Hill art walk in June.



Summer days



A day in my life

I was able to take the ferry to work during the summer months!

I was even in the Boston Globe one morning

when they ran a story on the ferry service. 



All smiles

Jack had the best birthday cake ever!




Autumn harvest

We went up to Camp Verne a few times this Autumn.



Family or home

We finally finished the floors in the kitchen!

So love them!



Celebrate

My daughter graduated Summa Cum Laude in May!



Lets do it again

We went to the Clan Claflin family reunion over the summer.

We saw family that we don't get to see very often!

The littlest ones weren't too happy to have their pictures taken.


Beautiful

My daughter and grandson swimming in the river at Camp Verne.

She was so beautiful it took my breath away.

It was  like she was Pocahontas and all I could think of 

was dancing with all the colours of the wind.



Holidays

 The boys at Christmas time





My favorites

 My favorite Aunts.


and my favorite mum



Don't ever change

 My husband Joe

who is my best friend. 



Just because

 I love this picture of Bonnie, Dan and Verne.

It makes me think of the Beatles song, Some day when we're dreaming...






Hopes and dreams

 All of my hopes and dreams are for a healing year for my sister.

First Snow

  Happy birthday to my beautiful daughter, Bonnie. She brings me so much joy. My first snow day of the year! I work at a Montessori school and we are getting our first big snow storm of the year so.... SNOW DAY!!  I made my own hummus last weekend. It was delicious. I added a little bit of turmeric along with the chickpeas, lemon, tahini, and garlic.  I plan on eating a more plant based diet this year. It's only been a week and I'm already feeling better. I did eat two slices of mushroom pizza last night and ended up having heartburn so it will be a good long time before I eat dairy again.  Each month one of our families brings in a bouquet of flowers.  We cut most of the stems off and place them on a tray which we place on the children's table.  We place another tray with a very small pitcher and a few very small bud vases.  The child fills up the pitcher using water from the bathroom sink, brings it back to the table and pours the water in a bud vase of their choosing.

Oh Little Town of Bethlehem

Image
  My daughter, Hannah's house is just so pretty. It's a large, Victorian era duplex with beautiful light. Some of the windows have been replaced but there are a few old leaded windows that are old and beautiful and the light is so soft that I am always taking pictures. This is an sweet old table that she picked up in her travels. She put some vintage Christmas ornaments in a terra cotta pot and next to that is a lemon tree plant. The whole thing sits under her kitchen windows. So pretty. My husband and I went to her house on Christmas morning. She served us delicious French toast and mimosas. ~  A friend of mine flew over Marblehead on her way home from vacation and had the wherewithal to take a photo.  It made me think of Oh Little Town of Bethlehem.  This year I was able to purchase a poinsettia through my church in honor of my mother. It was comforting to know that she was represented during the Christmas Eve Mass. I had a chance to rearrange the living room a little bit. I
