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.

First Snow

  Happy birthday to my beautiful daughter, Bonnie. She brings me so much joy. My first snow day of the year! I work at a Montessori school and we are getting our first big snow storm of the year so.... SNOW DAY!!  I made my own hummus last weekend. It was delicious. I added a little bit of turmeric along with the chickpeas, lemon, tahini, and garlic.  I plan on eating a more plant based diet this year. It's only been a week and I'm already feeling better. I did eat two slices of mushroom pizza last night and ended up having heartburn so it will be a good long time before I eat dairy again.  Each month one of our families brings in a bouquet of flowers.  We cut most of the stems off and place them on a tray which we place on the children's table.  We place another tray with a very small pitcher and a few very small bud vases.  The child fills up the pitcher using water from the bathroom sink, brings it back to the table and pours the water in a bud vase of their choosing.

Oh Little Town of Bethlehem

Image
  My daughter, Hannah's house is just so pretty. It's a large, Victorian era duplex with beautiful light. Some of the windows have been replaced but there are a few old leaded windows that are old and beautiful and the light is so soft that I am always taking pictures. This is an sweet old table that she picked up in her travels. She put some vintage Christmas ornaments in a terra cotta pot and next to that is a lemon tree plant. The whole thing sits under her kitchen windows. So pretty. My husband and I went to her house on Christmas morning. She served us delicious French toast and mimosas. ~  A friend of mine flew over Marblehead on her way home from vacation and had the wherewithal to take a photo.  It made me think of Oh Little Town of Bethlehem.  This year I was able to purchase a poinsettia through my church in honor of my mother. It was comforting to know that she was represented during the Christmas Eve Mass. I had a chance to rearrange the living room a little bit. I
