14 October






First off, the star of the show,

Verne Raymond Oliveira

 my beautiful grandson

born on 12 October, 2016


4 generations

After we got the call, I tried to call my mum, to let her know, but couldn't get in touch with her.

She can't get pictures on her cell phone so we printed off pictures

and drove to her house to tape them to her wall so she would see them.

She had just come home and was so happy to hear the news and see the baby.

While we were there my daughter called and gave the all clear for us to come and meet the baby.

So, we brought my mum with us!

She was so excited because she wouldn't have been able to drive an hour to the hospital herself.



My poor sweet daughter had a rough time during delivery.

She was in labor for over 24 hours and after pushing for 3.5 hours

they finally did a c-section at noon yesterday.


I suppose the rest of the world spins on -sun rises and sets, rain falls,

clouds come over and clear again....

I still see it all from the Wonderland T-stop

but I have eyes only for Verne

    Your poor daughter. At least she has something to show for all that trouble. What could be more precious than this little darling. Welcome to our world, Little Verne.

    Your grandson certainly DID steal the show. And your daughter comes in quite close with what an awesome job she did. I hope she heals quickly.

    A generation photo is an awesome gift especially with 4 generations.

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

a basket from the farmer's market

  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.

 ~ ~ ~ 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
