26 June



~ 1 ~

I met my mother for breakfast the other morning

and we spent some time at the town landing

watching the harbor


~ 2 ~

The boys and I had a huge squirt gun fight in the park of an afternoon

I suppose you might say that Joey lost because he was the wettest of us all

I'm sure he considered himself the winner though

We watched JAWS on Wednesday night.

One of my favorite movies of all times.

I watch it almost every year about this time.

~ 4 ~

Every year, on the last day of school, we walk the beach in the gloaming

roses along the wharf

smell so sweet

    Lucky you to have a mother who is still alive! Colorful post, and I love the photo of the two row boats!

    Those boats make a very contemplative image.

    What an absolutely charming site! I'm so glad you came by to say 'hi' this week. And that you're on a tiny island is so compelling, for I am just moving to Cape Cod even as we speak.

    May this weekend bring you joy!

    Interesting how that boat "dimples" has curved sides ( ) like dimples. Do you think that's how it got it's name?

    The harbor visit and the walk in the gloaming sound so peaceful. And how nice to be able to meet with your mom.

    So far I have never seen Jaws. :-)

    My boys used to love water guns when they were younger.

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.

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
