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.

Waiting for sunny warm days to bask in the sun. Surely they will arrive soon. Thank you for joining me for Tea Time and I hope you enjoy the July 4th weekend celebration.

Lovely. Nothing better on a rainy day than a cup of tea ... a good book ... scrabble! Wonderful image. Happy Tea Day!
ReplyDeleteI like those kind of days sometimes. You get a chance to get cozy, enjoy tea and the comfort of a shelter.
ReplyDeleteLove this post because it contains two of my favourite pastimes--tea and Scrabble!
ReplyDeleteWe've been having the same kind of spring and early summer days...grey, rainy and dreary on the outside...
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful photo and your thoughts about the day as special. We have had record setting rains which were greatly needed for we were in severe drought! The heat and humidity are now here with a few days of rain to cool us off! Hope you have a warmer summer but come on down to Texas if you want some warm summer days!
ReplyDeleteTake care, Pam
