Holly Hobby dress

 

~ ~ ~


My husband and I went out to dinner last night to celebrate our anniversary.

My class parents gave me a gift certificate to a swanky restaurant in my town.

Every thing was delicious! I even wore my new dress.

I think it looks like something I might have worn to my 8th grade prom!

I remember that Brendan OLeary asked me to go.

He picked my up on his bicycle and I rode on the back.

The bridge over the old train tracks was covered in honeysuckle and I brushed against them

as he went pedaling past.

I am thankful for those innocent times and that I still live in this beautiful town

with my husband. 

Sadly, Brendan passed away a few years ago but I will always remember his sweet spirit.

    Your dress is pretty with the colors of the rainbow, and looks so Springy. So glad you had a nice dinner, and Happy Anniversary. That was a sweet story about your 8th grade Prom, and I give you credit for sitting on the back his bicycle to get to the Prom. So sorry he passed away - you have special memories of that night always. And the honeysuckle part made me smile. : )

    Your dress is beautiful!! I love your memory of riding to the dance on the back of your date's bike. That is a precious memory! Thank you for linking up and I hope you are having a great week.

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
