on this day

 


All Soul’s day was 2 November and my husband and I went to a remembrance Mass.

We took home a candle with my mother’s name on it.

It was terribly sad but I am so grateful that I was able to pray for my mother.

I purchased a lap top because the iPad I’ve been using just isn’t cutting it for work. 

I haven’t had a chance to set it all up yet so I’m still using my iPad but I plan on spending some time on it this weekend.

The weather has been getting cooler and we set the clocks back tomorrow. 

I know I’m in the minority but I love this time of year. 


The T-shirt I ordered finally came in the mail!

Only in a sea coast town would you be a few minutes late for work because you were stuck behind a large boat on a trailer! The next day I saw it sitting in someone’s driveway where it will be until next season!

    Ahaha i had to laugh at your comment about the boat...i don't live in a sea town obviously as I'm between the Berkshires of MA and the NYS Adks but believe it or not i got stuck on the highway one morning behind a very slow truck hauling a big boat back from Lake George. Yup.....happens here too!!

    Praying for our loved ones is special for sure i don't pray for my mom now that she's in heaven with the Lord but i do pray often and give thanks for the memories.

    Love the tee shirt!!! I saw something similar for me that said it's a good day to teach special children. I didn't end up buying it though......

    Enjoy the weekend!

    I love this time of year, too--I love the space between the heat of summer and cold of winter. That is a cute shirt! My daughter-in-law calls her son a tiny human.. Hope the computer set-up goes well.

    Cute t-shirt!
    I'm sorry the mass was sad for you, but it must have been comforting to pray for her.
    Yes, only in a sea coast city would you have that big boat (although we have a very popular lake nearby and there are many boats being towed, just not that large.)
    Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

    I love this time of year. But not the time change! That t-shirt is cute. Grief is such a hard and fluctuating thing. I can understand the sadness the service would bring as you miss your mom.

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.

 ~ ~ ~ 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
