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
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. Th

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

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.
