Friends and family Friday



Last week I took an intensive Montessori training course.
I love where I work. 

I found some skin care products which I love! They’re called called Mad Hippie. 
They sell it at Whole Foods but they don’t have the make up there so I ordered mascara on line. 
I have very sensitive eyes and have a hard time with mascara. 


We had my grandchildren for the weekend! 

So. Much. Fun!


When my sister found out they were coming she and her fiancé drove the 3 hours from Connecticut to spend the weekend as well.  It was a wonderful treat to be able to have a fun weekend with her and not have to worry about any treatments that she needed to get it. We know they are coming up in a few weeks but we’re enjoying the time off. 




My mum and I went out to dinner with a friend of the family the other night.

We spoke of those who have passed away over the years and when we left to walk back to the car the skies treated us to a beautiful rainbow/sunset.

    Ooh that rainbow photo is so lovely!!

    Your grandson are getting so big!!! How fun to have them visit for a weekend!

    You asked what i was dealing with : it's an abuse case that I'm helping lawyers with regarding the sexual abuse of a young woman who is friends with my oldest daughter. I can't go into detail here as papers were just served to the perps but let's just say it's been difficult and has brought on my own triggers from my own past/healing. Thanks for your prayers.

    Your week with lots of family time sounds lovely. And the rainbow after your conversation with your mom, I would call that a god-wink;)

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
