the good



It seems as if we should be further along than we are.

Sometimes it feels as if we aren't making any headway at all.

the random



Even Tucker enjoyed the snowy weekend.

taking his little catnaps here and there and everywhere.

He loves it when we are all home together.

the fun


Kitchens are my favourite places to spend stormy snow days.

Monday: beef tenderloin, baked potatoes, salad

    Because of the snow, my family got cinnamon rolls for breakfast.

    Hello, there are times I feel we are going backwards instead of forward. So much has been lost lately. Love your sweet Tucker and pretty mosaic. Happy Monday, enjoy your day and new week ahead.

    I love the Martin Luther King quote. It's a good one. Your home is charming, and you have a way with decorating. I hope the new year is being king to you.

    Your dinners always sound so good! Our cat loves it the best when we are both home, too. Tucker is so pretty! Your kitchen really does show a spirit of simplicity, so uncluttered and lovely. I agree with you about this quote. The world just seems to get more and more hateful and evil.

    Your menu for the week, yummmm. I tell myself to hate a person is to give power to that person. It's the easy way out to not address the person's behavior and actions. So I tell myself.

    Thank you for honoring Dr King. It does now seem as if we have taken two backward steps for every former one forward, .. Your kitchen collage is so pretty! And warm and welcoming. And your menu plan gave me some good ideas....sometimes I just draw blanks when it comes to planning.

    I agree that it feels as if we are going quickly in reverse … but I appreciate your quote as an attitude adjustment - I refuse to be brought low! Tucker is adorable - our old girl Maggie likes to lie on the vents for warmth … Your honey-curry chicken sounds delicious right about now - I'm off to the kitchen to find a little taste of something. Thank you SO much for joining Mosaic Monday this week!

    You have a cute kitchen. And I really like the Martin Luther King quote.

    I feel that way, too, sometimes. That suddenly, we seem to be going backwards.

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
