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!

First Snow

  Happy birthday to my beautiful daughter, Bonnie. She brings me so much joy. My first snow day of the year! I work at a Montessori school and we are getting our first big snow storm of the year so.... SNOW DAY!!  I made my own hummus last weekend. It was delicious. I added a little bit of turmeric along with the chickpeas, lemon, tahini, and garlic.  I plan on eating a more plant based diet this year. It's only been a week and I'm already feeling better. I did eat two slices of mushroom pizza last night and ended up having heartburn so it will be a good long time before I eat dairy again.  Each month one of our families brings in a bouquet of flowers.  We cut most of the stems off and place them on a tray which we place on the children's table.  We place another tray with a very small pitcher and a few very small bud vases.  The child fills up the pitcher using water from the bathroom sink, brings it back to the table and pours the water in a bud vase of their choosing.

Oh Little Town of Bethlehem

Image
  My daughter, Hannah's house is just so pretty. It's a large, Victorian era duplex with beautiful light. Some of the windows have been replaced but there are a few old leaded windows that are old and beautiful and the light is so soft that I am always taking pictures. This is an sweet old table that she picked up in her travels. She put some vintage Christmas ornaments in a terra cotta pot and next to that is a lemon tree plant. The whole thing sits under her kitchen windows. So pretty. My husband and I went to her house on Christmas morning. She served us delicious French toast and mimosas. ~  A friend of mine flew over Marblehead on her way home from vacation and had the wherewithal to take a photo.  It made me think of Oh Little Town of Bethlehem.  This year I was able to purchase a poinsettia through my church in honor of my mother. It was comforting to know that she was represented during the Christmas Eve Mass. I had a chance to rearrange the living room a little bit. I
