...Abigail
And she was a woman of good understanding
And of a beautiful countenance.

1 Samuel 25:3




My sweet granddaughter, Abigail, was born with a cleft lip and cleft palate. 

When she was just 6 months old she had an 8 hour surgery to repair her lip and her nose.

It was done at Boston Children’s hospital and the doctor 

held her in his lap the entire time he operated. 


When she was 9 months old she went back to have the surgery to repair her palate. 


She loves her brother, Verne, just about as much as she loves food and her mother. 


And, he loves her and is very watchful and protective of her. 




My daughter and her husband are not church-goers

But they chose the name Abigail for their daughter.

I love when God comes in...quietly sometimes, and whispers in your ear...

t

For you formed my inward parts;

You knitted me together in my mother’s womb.

I praise you for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. 

Psalm 139:13-14

    Abigail 's name is one very glorious whisper.
    She's lovely, and I love the story of her namesake, a powerful and wise woman.

    Your Abigail certainly does have a beautiful countenance! God whispered the right name in her mother's ear! :)

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
