She died 3 years ago on 28 February.

My daughter, Hannah, came over after work this week.

I don't get to see her very often.

We picked up some chicken fingers and french fries for dinner

because I got stuck in this



 the fun...not

 I take the T home from work in Boston.

Just as I was getting to the train station after work

they shut it down and evacuated due to a smoke condition.

I tried calling an Uber but they couldn't get through the maze of 15 fire trucks.

So....I normally get home around 4:30 but that day I didn't get home till 6:00!

    I am so sorry for the loss of your step-daughter. She was a beautiful girl, as are your daughters. Chicken and French fries sounds like a great meal after getting home 90 minutes late!

    My sympathies as you remember your late stepdaughter. The heart never forgets. So glad you could spend time with your daughter after a trying commute home.

    I am so sorry about Ashley. So young and beautiful. What happened to her; is this why you stopped blogging on Cool Chick?

    The downside to public transportation, bummer. A visit from a favorite person, hurrah. :-)

    Your daughter is beautiful! And that is one large cat … our two would never tolerate being held like that …. Sorry to hear about your step-daughter - it rarely gets easier with time … I am grateful that you joined Mosaic Monday this week - please come again!

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
