Weekend Coming Up

I have enjoyed the visit with my two grandchildren this week.  I think one of them is ready to go home now.

I will drop them off at their house on my way to visit a friend in New Hampshire for the weekend.

My neighbor dropped off some fresh vegetables from his garden--even better than a visit to the Farmers' Market.  What a feast of fresh vegetables we enjoyed tonight--with some Vermont cheddar for a bit of protein.



Summer goes by so fast!

  1. Fresh produce from a friend is always a welcome gift! And yes, the summer does slip away fast. We still have summer adventures to take and hikes too!

  2. One of the great things about summer is fresh garden produce. But, yes, it is all so fleeting.

    1. I diced the vegetables, fair-sized chunks, and boiled everything with a small bit of salt pork and some sprigs of thyme.

  9. Having youngsters around is a great pick me up even when they wear you down.
    Almost as much fun as gardening is having neighbors that do. Gardeners always plant more than they can eat and love to share.

  15. I bet you were tired, Olga (just thinking that I would be...) A week is a long time to entertain Grands, but from reading your former post, I think you were making great memories. Wish I had a veggie gardener as a neighbor!

 On September 29, I had the closing on my condo. Everything that was not going to the buyers was out and packed in the ABF moving truck which had by the been taken over to the storage units. Don thought it would take him until Wednesday to finish packing the truck with the help of his son. It took him until late Thursday with Chris' help and mine. Kevin was supposed to help load as well but he was in a mountain bike accident and wrecked his shoulder the week before. That added driving him to doctor appointments to my to do list and dong some shopping for him plus jobs around the house that might need two functioning upper limbs.  We stayed with Kevin on Friday night after the closing and then had a suite in an extended stay place for the coming week. This was the worst possible time to have to get a room because the prices balloon during leaf peeping season if you can even find a room at all. But it was close to the storage units where we were working and it was dog friendly. We ju

Wedding

 Don and I drove to South Carolina to attend the wedding of my step-grandson, Will. Will Will and Katie The wedding took place on Dataw Island, a beautiful outdoor ceremony followed by a reception in the country club. We stayed in a tiny cottage in the historic center of Beaufort, rented from Vrbo. Since the wedding was at 5 p.m., we had time to explore the area a bit. I really like the low country scenery and historical charm. Sitting quietly in the curtained gazebo I was visited by multiple cardinals. They came to visit the feeder, not me, but I can always pretend! How I will always remember Will!

Rest In Peace

 In a summer that has been so wet, Sunday was a reprieve. The humidity dropped and the sun came out. It was a day that could have been special ordered by the family of a friend's husband. It was the day they had arranged his celebration of life ceremony set on the shore of Lake Champlain. I was not looking forward to the gathering, even couched as a celebration. This is a family fraught with relationship tensions. It turned out to be a beautiful day and a beautiful ceremony. A Catholic priest gave a brief but meaningful homily and two Air Force members played "Taps" and presented the American flag to my friend. I am not a Christian, but I do know about Christ Consciousness. That priest's word's filled me with such a sense of peace and love. I hope it did the same for the family members and neighbors who attended.
