Happy toes....


"Bubble gum, bubble gum in the dish,
How many pieces do you wish?"

Our toes were having fun, playing this game in the Sun....
Ohh....it rhymes!
I love my girl....

We spent the afternoon relaxing on this bench at the Botanical Garden...drawing, sketching, knitting, lying around, listening to the birdies sing...

Watching the birdies take baths in the little "fountain", those lovely little colibri (humming birds) fluttering, feeding....

One of the best family day we've had....

Taking ownership...

I'm so grateful that my folks taught me what it means to be responsible, reliable and to do my best each day......yes, sounds funny, but I live by it. Thanks to a boss of mine (from the corporate world) a whole decade ago, I realized that it is really such a valuable asset in the working world....and that there is an actual "term" for it! Thank you, Ellen.

I've vowed to stay off the negative side of things...so no more grumblings....I'm teaching my child and showing all children who grace my space for any period of time :)

Thank you to ALL of my co-workers who have been AMAZING this past week....for all the listening, counseling and kindness....

XOXO

Poppies in the Botanical Garden


One of our favourite things to do with anyone who visits us....the Botanical Garden....

Look at these amazing poppies and the bright red! Those cute faces swaying un the gentle breeze...waiting for us to walk past and appreciate their beauty....

It's been a LONG time since I last posted....finally....my hubby "fixed" something....my laptop can once again connect to the WiFi at home :)

Thank you!
