Actually, Brian those are my medals from when I was 37. The cut off age was thirty seven and I am fifty now. I was competing with much younger dudes. It was a great time but I had to stop training. Too many injuries. They get in the way of being able to fulfill your parental responsibilities unfortunately.I leave them up so the boys have something to aspire to.
Ah - elvish runes - my boys would have loved to know that! Huge LOTR fans here. Love your beach grass shot - our beach grass is all under snow at them moment!
Nine year olds are amazing! My little boy is now 30 and I so miss those little notes in code and the other fun things he used to do. Congrats to Joe, Jack keep writing those elvish notes...priceless, and you keep the camera handy...lovely photos! Smiles...Susan
Hi Kara, thank you for visiting and your sweet comment. Your photo of the red berries and the grasses are beautiful. Enjoy the week ahead. Blessings, Pamela
How fun to write in Elvish! A friend of my daughter's was fascinated with Tolkien's language and learned it - she is now studying for her PhD in some obscure area of medieval language, I believe. The grasses against the blue sky are very lovely.
Deep peace of the running wave to you. Deep peace of the flowing air to you. Deep peace of the quiet earth to you. Deep peace of the shining stars to you. Deep peace of the gentle night to you. Moon and stars pour their healing light on you
~ ~ ~ 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. 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. Healthy food - healthy planet - healthy us nature notes Image-in-ing
~ ~ ~ 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

What absolutely beautiful pictures.. and the note....how sweet! You are blessed! Have a great Sunday! Blessings!
ReplyDeleteThe sunlit grasses make me think of a summer day with a bit of a breeze.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely note for Jack's father; it must have warmed his heart.
