8 September





Labor day/work

I am a student again so that is my work right now.



phone call

It is a year this week that my mother's husband suddenly passed away.
We celebrated his life and enjoyed the company of the people he had touched in some way.


But neither my mum, my sister or brother, nor myself will ever forget the phone call that night.


pills
this is a very old picture taken before I had my Nikon. 
 W.C. Fields once said "I don't eat grapes. I'm not in the habit of drinking my wine in the form of a pill."
I don't take pills. I do, however, drink wine.

    I am sorry for your loss. I agree, I lost a close relative almost twenty years ago, and I still remember the phone call. I love your close up shot.

    I know the feeling of an unexpected phone call that turns your world upside down. I am happy to hear that you and your family are learning to "celebrate" the life of your loved one. So important!

    Your pictures are lovely. Are you studying photography, art, or both?

    I love your up close picture, and had to laugh at the quote about grapes! But then again, my picture isn't really of pills either.

    I like wine too. :)

    I found you via G-Man's Friday 55. Have enjoyed perusing your blog.

    I had a wonderful mother-in-law too. I miss her a lot, but I feel here here with us a lot.

    I'm so sorry about your mother's husband.

    I really like the grapes shot, and the quote to go with it. It brought a smile to my face this afternoon!

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
