Friday

 

~ ~ ~



Saturday I went to an old fashioned firemen's muster with my grandchildren, daughter, and son-in-law.

It was great fun! The fire department of their town was there selling hamburgers and hotdogs!

Verne looks very handsome sitting on top of the hand tub pump.


There are several events each summer and each team creates a ribbon for each event. 

Folks pin their ribbons to their shirts or shorts. Little Natalie opted for wearing nothing but her diaper as the temperatures were almost blistering hot so she is trying, unsuccessfully, to pin her ribbon on herself. 


On Saturday night Verne, Abby and I had a sleepover in in my tent in the back yard!

When it got dark enough Verne and I watched the fireflies with our heads down by the screen doors!

Abigail fell asleep before the fireflies came out but she woke up early enough to do some coloring!


Natalie is still too little to sleep out in the tent but we found a spot where her blankets will fit

when she gets old enough.

My daughter is always growing interesting things in her garden.

This year she grew mustard seeds.

We had "The Music Man" at work yesterday.

I work with toddlers and most of them have never attended a group event like that.

They had a blast! So. Much. Dancing!

I wish I could show you a video of how cute dancing toddlers are.

My husband's health continues to imrove!

He is back at work again and feeling healthier than he was before this whole thing started!

Thank God.

    For some reason, I do not remember Natalie. Is she Verne & Abigail's sister? She is so beautiful! And Verne is getting more and more handsome! I'm so glad to hear about your husband!

    So cute, little Natalie trying to pin the ribbon her tummy. She does look comfortable. Being little does have its advantages in the heat. I remember watching fireflies when I was growing up but haven't seen any in a very long time. the Great Smoky Mountains Nat'l Park as an event very year to see the fireflies. I should go some year.

    I love every one of these faves! What fun to have a backyard sleepover. The grands are growing up and are most definitely photogenic. Best news may be that your husband's health is improving.
    Enjoy your weekend! Another backyard camp?

    The fireman's muster sounds like such fun! My grandson would love that. And how fun is a backyard sleepover. I can imagine the toddlers' happy dancing. I'm glad your husband is feeling better!

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
