16 March


We got a chance to bring Joey to his hockey game on Sunday morning.

It's always fun to watch him play even though it's freezing cold!






Tuesday we had another nor'easter come through...

this one brought about 18 inches of snow!

In March!




I stayed home from work and made corned beef and cabbage 

with Irish tea.




Joe and I absolutely love this jam. 

We spread it on nice crusty toast or we pour some over vanilla ice cream.

So yummy.




I've been able to get to church for 2 weeks in a row now.

I had to go to a 7:30 service on Sunday morning

because Joey's game was at 9:30.

I will be going on again this Sunday as well!

It feels nice to be back at church.




Happy St. Patrick's Day to one and all.

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back. 
May the sun shine warm upon your face; 
the rains fall soft upon your fields 
and until we meet again, 
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

    How wonderful that you have made it to church in spite of the weather. Gosh, you have been having brutal weather. But your snow photo is really gorgeous. And a wonderful blessing. Blessings to you, as well.

    WOW! YOur church has a 7:30 service???!! And here I thought 9 a.m. was early! I love my church and thank the Lord we have online service now livestreamed so if we are snowed in or not feeling great we can watch it online...a true blessing! There's nothing like going in though to be with other Believers. Glad you are back!! Which church do you attend?

    My corned beef is simmering even now! 18 inches of snow - wow. I hope spring comes soon. I have never attended a hockey game in person - must be fun, especially if someone you love is playing. I love to hear that you are back in church. It has been a blessing to me ever since I first started going when I became a Christian.

    Wow, that is TOO MUCH snow! I hope you don't get hit again with another storm.
    Church is always a blessing to me--I'm glad you've been able to attend.
    And Happy St. Patrick's Day (yesterday). It was my birthday so I'm late visiting--that's my excuse.

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
