Friends and family Friday





The moon at the beginning of the week was so beautiful!!

This is the view out of my kitchen window as I was making my coffee one morning before work.

It took my breath away.


We had a wind storm and some tornado watches in the area on Tuesday afternoon.

Fortunately, we just had some high winds but Tucker was quite curious about all the goings on and the 

boughs of the big pine tree being tossed about. I think he was rather happy about being an indoor cat.

You know what they say about curiosity and cats.


On Sunday afternoon I happened to glance out the back door onto the planter and noticed this cheeky little 

fella just sitting there enjoying the view. He didn’t mind at all that I stood right at the door taking his 

picture. I even brought Tucker over but neither one of them were very interested in the other. The squirrel 

eventually just sauntered off down the back stairs and Tucker returned to napping on the back of the chair.


One day last week my step-son, Jack, helped me move the living room rug into the bedroom and the bedroom rug into the living room. We also moved a bureau that was in the living room into the master bedroom and a bureau that was in the master bedroom into Jack’s bedroom.
It was a lot of work!
Tucker was so tired from running around trying to keep out of our way that when things finally settled down he hopped up onto his favourite napping spot on the back of the chair and took a nap.
I really like the way it looks though. The other rug is beautiful but much darker and the colours of this rug brighten up our small living room. 

Over the weekend I made some blueberry and peach bran muffins. 

As it turns out there wasn’t a whole lot of bran in them and they looked a little wonky.

But they sure did taste good.

    Our living room is about this size. Yours is really lovely. I like everything about it. It reminds me of English country cottage chic. Tucker is beautiful!

    We just moved a rug from one of the bedrooms, and boy is that ever a lot of work! A bit tricky, too. I had to smile at that impish little squirrel, haha! Have a good weekend:)

    Taste is way more important than looks! And those muffins look yummy.
    We may have the same sofa...
    May I borrow Jack when I move into my new home? I'll need him to move furniture :)

    That is a lot of rearranging. I think I would have joined Tucker in a nap. Love the picture of the squirrel. We don't see them too often around here. Glad the big winds didn't turn into anything more.

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
