16 April




the fun

I stumbled across this old picture of my sister and I circa 1983!

We are on a ferry in Washington state.

I was living there and she was visiting after graduating from high school. 




the good

I also found this old picture of me.

I think we were near Port Townsend, WA.

the random

I'm just sending out a bunch of good luck wishes

to those running the Boston marathon today.

I know a few people running including our own Tamar.

It's a terrible day here...windy, freezing cold, and rain/sleet/snow....

You just never know what the weather will bring for marathon day.

    I just got a prayer request for a young woman running in memory of her brother. It sure is windy and cold and rainy, isn't it.

    These are the people I admire most. Nothing keeps them from following their heart, their purpose.

    Isn't that fun to find old family photos! These are both great. It was lovely the way the city honored and remembered those who died or were injured at that bombing.

    Hello! Checked in here a couple of times in the past few weeks and noticed you've been gone since April. I do hope you and yours are doing all right these days.

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
