Limes, lemons, oranges, copper pennies, zinc nails, light bulbs, wire spools – all laid out on the kitchen counter out of the baby’s reach and I’m not allowed to touch anything till all data are collected and photos taken. Well!
Flower of the month
Walked into Michael’s yesterday and saw these beauties! They make silk look real from a distance. Loved the stacks of colors peeking out of the galvanized tin buckets. Reminded me of florist shops.
A peek into my purse
This is what’s in my purse right now, after cleaning out a bunch of receipts, candy wrappers, shopping lists, a couple of toys, and an expired inhaler. Yeah!
Houseplants
While all the trees outside are bare and the smaller bushes are under the snow, I’m looking for greenery in my houseplants.
Happy Mail Day!
Last summer, we were planning to go to India but Jia’s passport didn’t get here on time. We felt this deep urge to use the passport asap and decided to go to the Niagara Falls. I shared photos from our trip on Instagram and got guidance on things to do and to get from my Canadian friends. I mentioned trading a Lincoln for a pretty Canadian $5 bill the morning we left. Later that day someone mentioned that I should get a ‘Loonie’ and a ‘Toonie’. But we had already crossed the borders. Cassandra offered to send them to me and I accepted. Yesterday the shiny and pretty Loonie and Toonie arrived along with Cassandra’s beautiful card and ATC!
Thankful for friends!
Remembering Our Summer in Maine
On this foggy and snowy February day, I’m basking in the warmth of memories of our summer in Maine where there were lobster shacks like this everywhere!
Yesterday
Oh the weather outside is frightful!
Learning is for LIFE!
Software purchased. Software installed. If only the learning to use the software was just as easy peasy. Back to good old fashion trial and error to figure it out.
The Sucky Day!
This week started out with a hard Monday. Cold. Grey. Unmotivated. I felt somewhat shoved and so I pushed back. Sharing some Ramen with my two-year-old and a good night’s sleep led to a better Tuesday. Still cold. Still grey. But motivated!
