A glad heart makes a cheerful face

but by sorrow of heart the spirit is crushed.

Proverbs 15:13

A merry heart doeth good like a medicine.

Proverbs 17:22



A simple pot with a red geranium on the kitchen table makes me think of a merry heart.

I come into the kitchen in the morning to make my coffee and my heart cheers at the sight of it. 

Monday: Minestrone soup, fresh bread, green salad

Tuesday: Brown basmati rice, roasted zucchini, Swiss chard

Wednesday: Pasta with asparagus, fresh salad

Thursday: Tofu steak with miso mushrooms, greens

Friday: take away

Saturday: Okinawan beans and rice, greens

Sunday: taco salad

    Oh my, you already have your meals planned for the week. I only know what's for dinner that day (maybe the night before haha). Your red geranium in the white milk glass is the perfect thing to see when you make your morning coffee. Have a blessed week.

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
