31 August





after giving  considerable thought to

exactly what i would do if i stumbled upon a million dollars

i came to the conclusion that

while it can buy some sorts of security

 money can't buy love

or happiness

so i would use it toward the end of spending time with my loved ones

because that's priceless

and when you think about it

a million dollars just doesn't go as far as it used to

    What a great heart-shaped stone you have here...and beautiful sentiments to go along with it. There are some things that even money can't buy, and it's priceless to recognize that fact :). Thanks for joining in on Song-ography.

    So true! I remember as a child in the 80s, a million dollars was super impressive. Now, it isn't so much...though I wouldn't turn it down either. It certainly doesn't buy the freedom it once would. I love the stone. It reminds me of a fox!

    That is right! What is money after all. Time and effort chasing it is a bother anyway! If it falls on one's lap give it away but retain some. He he! Nicely aspiritofsimplicity!

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
