Auld Lang Syne


Me



I love you

My daughters, step-daughter and my grandson.



Still laughing

I love this picture of Verne at his birthday party!

He's so funny!


Winter wonderland

It's been a very cold end of the year 

and I've seen sea smoke on the water for the past few days.




Birthday

Verne turned 1 in October!



Friend



I was inspired

I was gifted an old doll house from work

and I was inspired to bring it home 

and paint it all up.

It's been christened  Christmas House 

and will be a holiday tradition from here on out. 


Spring fever

The warmer weather brought the kite-surfers out in droves!

They are so majestic to watch on the water.



Travel or vacation

  I didn't travel anywhere this year but I did get out to the

Beacon Hill art walk in June.



Summer days



A day in my life

I was able to take the ferry to work during the summer months!

I was even in the Boston Globe one morning

when they ran a story on the ferry service. 



All smiles

Jack had the best birthday cake ever!




Autumn harvest

We went up to Camp Verne a few times this Autumn.



Family or home

We finally finished the floors in the kitchen!

So love them!



Celebrate

My daughter graduated Summa Cum Laude in May!



Lets do it again

We went to the Clan Claflin family reunion over the summer.

We saw family that we don't get to see very often!

The littlest ones weren't too happy to have their pictures taken.


Beautiful

My daughter and grandson swimming in the river at Camp Verne.

She was so beautiful it took my breath away.

It was  like she was Pocahontas and all I could think of 

was dancing with all the colours of the wind.



Holidays

 The boys at Christmas time





My favorites

 My favorite Aunts.


and my favorite mum



Don't ever change

 My husband Joe

who is my best friend. 



Just because

 I love this picture of Bonnie, Dan and Verne.

It makes me think of the Beatles song, Some day when we're dreaming...






Hopes and dreams

 All of my hopes and dreams are for a healing year for my sister.

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
