Sons, tea time and fun get~togethers






Good day!!!
How is everybody on this wet afternoon?!
Well it's been a wet grey day here..
but it's so great to just stay indoors and enjoy being home.
Rainy days can be turned into something good!
I just put the kettle on for some afternoon tea and just took two
hot banana bread loaves from my oven.
Join me for some and a little visit?
;)



I travelled to see our sons last weekend..
and although my voyage there was great and the driving weather favourable...
it was a wet for 3 days.
Last spring it was warmer, but then again, it was into the middle of May.

Southern Ontario was not having the best weather.
;)


A n y w a y s......

his new place is absolutely gorgeous!
My son is very neat and tidy
and is a minimalist.
There is certainly something to be said about that..
I have too much clutter.
I'm learning from him
:)


He has a great sense of style
minus clutter.
Sounds nice, doesnt it? Lol


Am I proud of him?
Oh yes...I could go on and on...
;)



My son had to work on Thursday and Friday (he works from home)
so I did go out and do some exploring and some shopping.
;)
Look what I found!
I may or may not have been anticipating this!!
The first one open in Canada so far!
;);););)


All I could think of was...
Shabby chic, shabby chic, shabby chic!
Lol


Ok... I did find a gorgeous set of King size white sheets
with those beautiful words on the pkg...
S h a b b y   C h i c

They are very beautiful with eyelet on the top sheet and pillow cases.
And they fit very comfortably...love them!
Next time...I'll get the pink sheets or maybe the white with little purple flowers on them.
Never has a red and white bag looked so good in my car!


I left to get some eggs before lunch on Friday
and ended up at a favourite store downtown which in turn
led me to a little knitting shop
on the outskirts of town..lol
I wish I had brought my camera there!
(I could have used the new iphone my hubby got me but I wasn't thinking)
On the way coming into the little community..
it turned into a winter wonderland!
Just gorgeous..roads were good, but the trees were amazing!
Branches decked with ice...it was quite breath-taking!
but then again, so was the little yarn shop..heehee
Great deals to be had there!

I've mentioned it before, but I will again,
I started knitting in November and I fell in love!
Yep...this girl is hooked...hahahahha (no pun intended)
L O V E   K N I T T I N G!!!
I make my way downtown every week,
and I knit with some sweet gals at my local knitting shop.
I so look forward to that 2 hours in my life!
And...this son of mine, Adam....
when he found out I was starting to knit and loved it so much...
he said he wanted to pay for my classes and knitting sessions there!
He is just so kind and thoughful!


He always makes me feel so at home when I visit.
He made us some yummy chicken fajitas here.
He's a good cook too!
Saturday morning we went out to Cora's for breakfast.
Love Cora's!


Breakfast with tons of fresh fruit on our plates!
It was dee-lish!
My son isnt crazy about being photographed,
so I'm trying to control myself here
;)


He blesses me,
over and over again.
Just by being who he is.
We spent time together late in the evenings,
watched a few shows together.
No matter what we did...
"together"
was what made it so fun and dear to me.



He surprises me!
Again and again
Thank you Adam...I love you so much!
(Momma) xo

Spring has sprung and other things

 
 
It's a sure sign of spring when these little pretties "spring" up
on our front lawn.
;)
I love crocuses and especially these little lilac ones.
They won't last too long so I'll enjoy them while they're here.
A welcome sign that spring has come!
 
 
Birthday celebrations have been going on since the end of January in our world.
Lots of precious people to be thank ful for and to celebrate with.
 
 
My sweet hubbys birthday started January off
into a birthday frenzy!
Than followed by our adorable younger sons birthdays, and then my gorgeous sister's,
then my loving and playful Dads Easter birthday,
my sweet daughter-in-laws,
and then my dear brother-in-laws and then my precious brothers birthday.
And soon to be our oldest and so loving,sons birthday in the first week of May,
then there's his dear Dads a day before that, and did I mention my sweet baby sisters on the 1st of May!
Then there's Mother's Day..and another day to celebrate my most loving Momma!
It kind of calms down after that...
and we get a little breather from then on.
:).
It's fun...all this excitement
and
celebrating!
Celebrating life, and love and one another!
 
 
Our grandson saw me taking a photo of a  balloon outside his door,
and he just had to peek out and get in on the fun.
He's a cutie!
 
 
And his Momma...well, she's an angel!
 

 
 
I just wanted to pop in and say Hello!
I've missed you all!
Have a happy week!
 
All my love,
Deborah xoxoox

Seasons greetings and Merry Christmas!

 Wishing you all a blessed Christmas and the joy that can only come from Him. Winter is upon us here in Northern Ontario, Canada, but so far...
