Family Friday


~ ~ ~



In Massachusetts the schools, both public and private,  have been closed since the 16th.

I work in a private Montessori school so this has given me quite a bit of time off.

I have tried to go for a long walk at least once a day.

Yesterday I saw a tree just beginning to blossom out.

Happy Spring!



Tucker Huckleberry Finn’s schedule hasn’t been affected by the stay-home orders.


Tuesday I took a ride to my daughter’s house. 

I got to do some painting with my favourite littles!


Wednesday they started running all public transportation on a Saturday schedule.

My husband’s job is essential personnel and he takes the bus and subway to work.

We have only one car...

So...since the school I work at has been closed till 7 April 

I have been driving him to the closest subway stop where his co-worker picks him up.

I stopped at the beach on the way home one day to capture this beautiful sunrise. 


I hope you all had a very happy St. Patrick’s day!

I thought now might be a nice time to resurrect my Family Friday meme.

Most of us are under orders to stay home so we will be spending

Quite a bit of time with our families.

    Beautiful sunrise and cute picture of the grandkids. Daycares and schools are closed here but small dayhomes are still open. It's a struggle each day to try and figure out what to do. On the one hand you want to be there for your clients yet on the other hand it's better to be distanced.

    Oh that sunrise over the ocean photo is wonderful!
    Because St Patrick's Day is my birthday, I love shamrocks plants! Yours is lovely.
    Enjoy this extra time off and take lots of walks!

Deep peace of the running wave to you.
Deep peace of the flowing air to you.
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you.
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

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.

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
