family Friday


  


We came home from work the other day to find this strange dog on our front walkway. 

We have no idea who left it there.


Beacon hill is all dressed up for Christmas

and I love taking a little walk about after work. 


Four years ago while I was a student at the local community college

I signed a waiver allowing them to use my photograph.

Who could have guessed that it would hanging on the wall 

bigger than life all this time?

My daughter is now doing an internship here

and walks past my photo every day on the way to her office!

Ha! Your mother is always watching.


This is the snow person that we made in my class full of toddlers.

She looks a bit like a tourist whose been drinking on an island beach all day.

We are having a friendly contest with all of the other classes.



I was going through some old Christmas photographs and came across

this of my sister and I. 

I'm the brunette on the left. 

The only one smiling...I guess I've always loved Christmas.

    The dog must be a Christmas present, what an exciting way to give it. I think he looks very good right where he is! What a story about the college! Well, you have always been very photogenic. Love the old picture! Let us know if your class wins!

    "She looks a bit like a tourist whose been drinking on an island beach all day." This made me laugh --and scroll back up and look again!

    How fun to see your picture on the campus wall! Funny about the dog. Love the Christmas-decorated shop.

    How fun that your daughter gets to walk past your pic everyday. Interesting finding the cat on your stoop.

    What a treasured picture of you and your sister at Christmas. I love to look at old photos. Oh my, I wonder if you'll ever find out who put that dog on your porch. The little shop in Beacon Hill is so charming. Love that colorful snowman. : )

    Merry Christmas.

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
