Family Friday


~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~



I was able to see Verne and Abigail outside in their yard again!
I’m so happy we are able to do this.
I will be even happier when we get to hug each other again.

I met my friend at a state park which lies just between the two of us. We walked for almost 4 miles and were able to catch up with one another. It was wonderful. 


Ferns are unfurling at the house down the road.
Pretty.


My mum and I took a drive on Mother’s Day to meet both of my daughters at one of our favourite garden centers. My daughter gifted me with these self-portraits that Verne and Abigail made for me. Bonnie traced each child onto a paper bag and then they decorated themselves. Bonnie helped Abby with hers since she’s only 1. The poem on the back was so sweet and appropriate for the quarantine.


I hung them on my washer and dryer so that I will be able to see them all the time. 
I will treasure them for all time.



A friend got a new bed and gifted us with her old one. We had been using a Hollywood bed frame which had no head or footboard and was very squeaky.
It’s so comfortable and pretty.

During the world-wide quarantine we are all missing our family and friends. Please feel free to share a post about your family or friends. It can be an old one if you haven’t been able to see them in a while.

    Nice week of blessings!
    I love walking in our state parks here in the NY capital region but tomorrow I'm headed to the taconic hills ( the trail crosses between NY, MA and VT!). I'd rather be headed to the Adks but it's black fly season upvthere so i don't climb up there untilvend of June.
    That paper bag activity is cute and i did a similar thing when i had five students in a language group last autumn. There've been so ,amy cute poems and ideas for quarantine on Pinterest!

    Enjoy the weekend!!

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
