days of giving thanks

1
I am thankful that I am able to live so close to the beach.

i am thankful for my husband, Joe, 

who I love with all my heart.

We have known one another since we were 11 years old.

We met playing truth or dare during recess behind the 6th grade elementary school.

He dared to kiss me. 


We have circled around a lot since then...

I've zigged and he's zagged...

we've looped and curly-cued and even done a few straight lines

to get to where we are now.


He's been my inspiration, my guiding star, my best friend, my husband

I am thankful for my daughter, Hannah.

She is getting her masters at Salem University

and working so hard.

She was the first person that I ever loved more than I love myself.



4

I am thankful for my daughter Bonnie.

She is so sweet and loving and kind.

And she and her fiance, Dan, gave us Verne!

I am so thankful for Verne!

My beautiful grandson!

I am absolutely head over heels in love with him!

    Lots to be thankful for ... me, too! I also have a wonderful, godly husband, 4 great kids, and 13 grandchildren, some of them married with little ones. But I have to tell you there is a part of me that envies you at your stage of life. I remember that first grandson and how he was the center of my world. It was so easy to pour into him since he was the only one. I love all of my family and am indeed blessed, but it's hard to have enough time for each one. So enjoy every minute of it!

    Sometimes I envy your living so close to the beach! We did move to a landlocked state (TN) several years ago, but there are a lot of lakes and rivers here. Not quite the same, but nice in their own way.

    What a sweet tribute to your family, especially your husband!

    What great faves this week! Yes, family is most precious! (and Verne is adorable!)
    I too am thankful to live where I can drive just a few miles and be at the beach. It's a blessing!

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
