29 December

We had our family Christmas celebration 

on the day of Christmas Eve.

Lots of love!

My mum, me, and Verne!

He was watching the beach out the window and we were watching him!

By the end of the day Verne was tuckered out

and Hopie-nana got some cuddle time.




White Christmas

We woke on Christmas morning to a winter wonderland

snow falling - wind blowing the tree branches - waves crashing against the shore

by noon all had settled down and the sun was shining once again.

Perfect for an afternoon walk down the path through the wood.

Christmas night found Joe and I 

quiet and peaceful under the lights of the tree.

    I can't decide which picture is my favorite, but I do love the one of you and your mom with Verne. Happy New Year to you!

    I am very late visiting this time! I think everything is finally back to "normal" after the holidays and family visits.

    It looks like you had a very lovely, cozy Christmas! I miss those cuddle times! Our grandson is 3 1/2 and cuddles with his parents but not so much anyone else. But I get in hugs when I can. :-)

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

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.

On the table

 ~ ~ ~ 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
