Taylor

 




We got two snowstorms in the past week or so. 

One all day Sunday and another one on Tuesday.

The were both snow that looked beautiful. 


My school closed campus for 2 weeks because of COVID so I’ve been working from home.

That leaves me with time to do some slow cooking which I love.

Onions are the start of all things deliciousness. 


I’ve also had the chance to putter around the house and get some deep cleaning done. 


I bought a baby BT2 guitar. It’s a small Taylor. I have no idea how to play but I’ve been wanting to learn.

I needed a smaller guitar because I am just over 5 feet tall and my husband’s guitar is just too big for me. 


I went to visit my grandchildren yesterday. Little Natalie has grown so much in the few short weeks!
She’s gained a pound in 2 weeks! She’s such a calm little baby. Verne and Abigail love her so much!

    Great list of faves! We have a guitar in base,ent my husband wanted for Xmas almost 10 years ago and I'm the only one who can play very simple songs on it as i had to take it in college for my undergrad degree. My oldest was teaching herself for awhile. There are some good beginner books and videos out there! Enjoy it!

    Adorable Natalie Faith!!

    Your chair with the doiley cushion reminds me of one my grandmother used to have in her mountain home.

    Happy weekend!!

    I was gifted a used keyboard, and have been noodling around with it, trying to remember what little I once learned about piano. Have fun with your guitar;)

    What a sweet picture of Natalie! Iam glad to see your baby spiders! So are you making lesson plans on the computer, or doing Zoom with the students?

    You have had a great week. Babies, guitar, cooking, cleaning. Practically perfect.

    Snow is so very pretty except when it's coming down horizontally as it sometimes does in these parts. :D

    Your new granddaughter is adorable and it's sweet that your her siblings are so enamored with her. Good for you for wanting to learn guitar. I used to play when younger but haven't picked it up in at least 25 years. Onions and garlic for the win!

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

First Snow

Image
  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.

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.
