Family Friday


~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~


Saturday we got together to celebrate my daughter, Hannah’s, birthday.

It was so much fun to be together again after being so careful to stay away from everyone.



If you look closely you can see two bald eagles at the top of the tree!

They live in the trees at the camp my son-in-law’s family owns.

It’s right on a tidal river and rural, marshy area so there is plenty for them to eat.

We were sitting just next to the tree so it was quite impressive to see them flying

right over our heads.


One of the best things about being home during the quarantine is Tucker.

We’ve loved being able to watch him all day.  The other day he reached up onto a chair where his

favourite toy was and pulled it down with his paws. Once he got it down to the floor he rolled

around gnawing and pawing it for quite some time. So cute.



Joe’s birthday was this week as well. We hadn’t seen the boys since the beginning of the quarantine

so we drove up to get them and their dog, Cooper, and we went for a walk on a local trail.

It was beautiful and they were all so happy to be together again.

Even Cooper!


The trails were so pretty that when I got together with my friend the next day

I recommended we go there.

It was so nice to get together with her and to get to walk in the wood!

Living near the ocean I don’t get a chance to do that as often as I would like.

    Yay for birthday celebrations and walks in the woods!! One of our favorite things we did online of our Boston vacations was to walk in the Walden Pond area......it was so lovely there although way too crowded for this mountain girl.

    My oldest daughter would love your kitty!!

    Happy weekend!

    I think pets might be the winners in our quarantine, as they do love having us home with them. And we get to witness the secret life of pets as to what they do all day!

    Happy birthday to your daughter and husband! Glad you got to visit with your family and the boys. How fun to see the bald eagles so close! My oldest son got a cat just before the coronavirus broke out--we were so glad, because he lives alone. She's been good company, and it's been fun to see pictures and videos of her antics. He's been working from home since he got her, so I'm wondering how she's going to handle it when he has to start going back into the office.

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
