My daughters and my late step-daughter, Ashley.

She died 3 years ago on 28 February.

the good

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!

    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!

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
