Family Friday

This little pumpkin turned 2!

Saturday night Joe and I went out to dinner to celebrate the birthday of a very old friend.

Joe's known him for over 50 years!

It was great to see people we hadn't seen in such a long time.

 Bittersweet grows along the grassy dunes across the street

I gathered some to add to the basket on our front door. 

It's so pretty.

I love this time of year.

Wednesday evening there was a workshop at work that I was attending. I get out at 3:30

but it didn't start till 6:30 so I went out exploring around Beacon Hill.

It's one of my very favorite places...especially in the fall and early winter.

One of my favorite parts of the week was being able to get a picture of

both of my daughters and my grandson and me!

We are all so very busy it's not often we all get together and remember to take a picture.

Please feel free to add a link to your family friday post.

    It is so good to see you. You and your family are beautiful! I don't know what Bittersweet looks like, but I love the name.

    Happy birthday to Verne! So nice you got together with both daughters and Verne and got a picture of you all.

    Love the picture of you and Joe, and his imitation of the photos behind you.

    What a lovely pictures of your family! Happy Birthday to the little one!
    It's great that you have the option to walk in a place you love--a good way to 'wait' for a meeting.
    Enjoy your weekend!

    How fun to have a post devoted to family. This makes this entry like a scrapbook page. And it is even complete with a photo of your girls, grandson and you. I often forget to take photos of the adults, and so am especially pleased when I do.

    How fun that you got to explore so that the late start to your meeting wasn't a bother. Love the fall line drawing.

    I didn't know what bittersweet looked like, so I googled it. Quite pretty.

    Have a lovely week.

    Happy Birthday to your little pumpkin. What a special picture of you and your daughters. I hope you frame it sometime. : ) I know what you mean about getting together, and when we do, it seems we forget to take a picture.

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
