Family Friday




One of my favourite students and I are pretty cool at the playground. 

~ ~ ~


I will be 57 in less than a month. I’ve been letting my hair go grey 

and I got it cut a month or so ago.

I don’t know why we are always chasing youth.

It’s not as if we have a chance of catching it. 

I’m happy to enjoy where I am and count my blessings

at having made it here. 

~ ~ ~


 My step-son, Jack, has moved in with us.

I’m not sure I’m ready for this...

I’ve done it before...

There’s always an adventure.

My sister will be starting radiation again next week. It will be another 5 mega-doses.

They found another spot on the other side of her iliac joint.

Afterward she will have to go through chemo again. 

This is a favourite picture of all of us. 

We were enjoying the company of one another.

My mum didn’t want to take her apron off for a picture 

So I took out my collection and we all wore aprons!

Wednesday it was warm enough for meditation and morning prayers at Fort Sewell 

It felt so nice to have the warm sun and the ocean breeze on my face.

It’s cooled down since then...and there was a wee gale wind...

But I have faith that spring will soon be here. 

Friday fave fives

    Great pic of you in the aprons. Good for you for going grey. I get mine coloured. It's my one luxury. Makes me feel better.

    I will be 70! this week. My hair is blonde and just beginning to turn white in small spots. I figure that if I've made it this long, I should celebrate it.

    That is a very sweet picture of your family. Love the aprons!

    Stay well!

    I love that photo of your family--especially the aprons.

    Your beach photos always make me want to jump in my car and drive to the beach.

    I will turn 70! this week. My hair is blonde and beginning to turn white just at the temples. I figure that I have lived this long, I will celebrate it.

    Stay well!

    I love that pic of you guys in the aprons. You've shared it before I believe, haven't you? Saying a prayer for your sister.

    I thought of getting my hair colored when I started turning grey--really, when my natural blond turned into a mousy grey-brown. But I hate roots that are a different color, and I know that would bug me to death between coloring. You're right, we're never going to recapture our youth, and there are things I like about being older.

    It's always an adjustment when someone new moves in. Hope everyone gets comfortable soon.

    What a fun picture! I hope your sister's treatment takes care of the cancer. Love the bottom photo. It has turned cold again here with lots of rain, but thankfully not as much as forecast. Looking forward to spring.

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
