30 March





I went to see my grandson, Verne on Saturday.

He calls me Hopie...well, he's learning to call me Hopie.

He calls me Hohu right now. 

Melt's my grandmother's heart.

Joe and I went out to dinner over the weekend.

He got filet minion and I had scallops. 

Both meals were delicious.

We had Joe's son, Jack, with us Saturday and Sunday.

His brother, Joey, was sick with strep throat so he stayed home.

It was nice to have Jack to ourselves for a bit.

He's a teenager now so isn't really all that talkative with us anymore. 

I miss the old Jack...but I know he'll be back soon.

I have been doing more reading lately. 

It's been a while since I've picked up a book.

So... daffodils are coming up in the old church yard.

I am absolutely dying for it to be spring.

    Verne is growing up so fast! Glad you're getting back into reading. The teen years can be difficult but I think they're glad to know parents love them no matter what and are there and available. By the way, your link on Susanne's place goes back to her post.

    Oh that boy is so cute! Time with him (and your other grandson) will always be a fave!
    Daffodils are always the flowers that greet us with spring. Here's hoping that very soon you will see daffodil blooms.
    Happy Easter to you and yours!

Deep peace of the shining stars to you.
Deep peace of the gentle night to you.
Moon and stars pour their healing light on you

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

First Snow

Image
  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.

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.
