family Friday



The weather over the weekend was new-englandish

We had quite a bit of rain but between drenching showers it was sunny and warm.

We got out for a walk along the beach and I found a few pieces of driftwood

to bring into my classroom. 


Turnabout is fair play so I got a picture of Joe while we walked as well.



Saturday morning I was out on the porch in short sleeves enjoying my coffee.




We went out to dinner to celebrate my birthday a few weeks ago as well.



Abigail was 4 months old on the 17th!

She is smiling and laughing and grabbing at all her favourite toys now.




I moved into a new classroom at work.

I did the entire move myself while my co-teacher was at a different center.

Wow! I was so tired when I got home.

We've been in there a few weeks now and it's so wonderful!

It's one of only two rooms with windows to the outside.



Joe walked Jack up the stairs to the train station

and I took some pictures of the wall art in Lynn.

I've got to get out there with my Nikon and get some better shots.

    Oh my gosh!!! Our oldest daughter Courtney is a 2015 Gordon College graduate. You must know Gordon since you live so near. She and a brunch of other art majors did some kind of internship in the Lynn schools and they did art there. I'll have to show her this mural and see if it she the one!!

    Happy belated birthday.

    Congrats on the new classroom.

    Happy Easter!!

    I love seeing pictures of you and Joe. What a nice surprise! A belated Happy Birthday. You look just the same as you did all those years ago as Hip Chick. I don't know how you do it! You teach elementary school, what grade? The mural is really joyful, reminds me of the 60's.

    We warmed into the 80's but only for a couple days and not back into the 40's during day and 30's at night and drenched with rain here in Ohio. I'm so ready for Ma Nature to quit changing her mind. Love your coffee cup and the vision of coffee out on the porch. I have my chairs and table ready..:) Happy Easter.

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
