9 March




This what my neighborhood looked like on Saturday...

and Sunday, and Monday and Tuesday, and most of Wednesday. 

They had to bring in the big pumps from the state to finally clear it all out. 

The big body of water that you are looking at is not supposed to be water!

It's my street, a parking lot, and a ball field!






My sister got good news about her cancer!

The results from the PET/CAT scan were good!

Thank God.


We were so fortunate that our house didn't flood

but we did get enough water in the basement to knock out the water heater.

The landlord has one on order but, as you can imagine,

they are in pretty scarce supply around here.

So....we have no hot water...I would so dearly love a hot shower. 


Wednesday afternoon when I came home from work they had cleared up

most of our street....

Just in time for another snowstorm on Thursday!

You can see the snow plastered against the window at my desk. 

We didn't get too much snow though.


I found a new yogurt that I like at the market.

It comes in a sweet little glass jar.

And, Tucker seems to like it too.

    I'm so sorry to hear about all the troubles you're having in your part of the country. Those pictures are just unreal. I can't imagine going without hot water for very long. Such a sweet little kitty you have there! And that yogurt in the glass jar is adorable, too.

    I'm glad your sister got a good report. Sorry to hear about all the flooding though. I hope you get the heating sorted quickly and there's not too much residual damage.

    Oh my goodness that is a lot of water. But you do live in a gorgeous area! So glad for the good report for your sister. Hope you've got your water heater by now (it's Tuesday as I type this). I've never seen that yogurt though we do have yoplait here. Maybe we'll get it soon.

    I am very late visiting this week! Wow, that's a lot of water. I hope your hot water heater is in now - I can't imagine going so long without hot water. So glad for the good test results for your sister!

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
