A Day with a Happy Gamma!!!

I am so grateful to my Lord.

I have a fantastic family, a loving husband, a good bible teaching church, a community that I adore.

When I am not at my full time job in the city at a major cardiac hospital...

you can find me at home, enjoying life's simple bounty.....

Fresh farm eggs and...

one little red tomato I found this morning in my wee garden.

It's the only red one of this green bunch...I'm grateful!!!

                                     Besides planting Roman,I also have Beefsteak, and Celebrity

Making Mr.B. a breakfast

with those eggs and one lonely tomato, and locale honey and my home made apple jelly...

Presented to my hubby on my new... London England plate...

I bought the whole set!!!

Another simple pleasure is my cloths line.

I have a beautiful energy efficient dryer, but I have always wanted an out door line....

and now I have one...

It brings a sense of calm to hang cloths.

Quite moments to think, learn, and teach...

I and Lu peek inside the jug that has a...

Wolf Spider and her web in it!

The web she weaved was so cool, can you see her tunnel?

I and my grandson looked and talked about it for quit a while...

I love that!!!

I love to watch my grandchildren playing in the water.They are happy, so I too am happy.

Eli learns to walk, and I am there!!!

A grandmother couldn't be more happy to experience this!!!

That's Bylla helping out.

Out side in Gammas back yard, Eli try's to walk...oops!

He trips over Vanilla Kisses...

She really didn't seem to mind too much...

Well, maybe she has had enough!!!

I have a small garden,

I've always wanted a vegetable garden and Bylla helps water it...

look at the little jug she's using....hee hee!

She waters the bird feeder too...oh, I love to watch my grand babies!!!

The last of the apple's comes down...

I ate this juicy one first thing this morning.mmmmm

I picked a bunch and made....

Some dough for....

"Mile High Apple Pie" for my dear hubby,he loves my pie!!!...

and I love my new pie cover!!!

This link will take you to my food blog.

There you will find my "Mile High Apple Pie" recipe and much more!!!

The grandchildren gather around me to share my juicy apple,even though Lu already has two in his hands!!!

I see Mr.B through the sun room window.

What a sweet heart...he is watering my plants.

We found this out door set on sale and thought it would do good in the sun room...

My art table at the other, Mr.B. put my draft table together.

A nice view out my windows to inspire...

I see my fountain through the window,

the soothing sound of trickling water in spire's me to draw....

After all the years I had to do my drawings at the kitchen table .

I finally have a wee place to call my art space...thank you my dear husband.

A yellow flower for you my husband, my lover, my friend...

Mr B. too gave me a bouquet of yellow flowers yesterday

after a long 12 hour shift at the hospital...

At the end of this day, the children go home with there mom and dad.

I sit in my beautiful back yard and enjoy a glass of wine,

and a good book, Robertson Davies "Fifth Business"....

I stay outside till the sun goes down.....

Thank you Lord Jesus for all these gifts.

I am content and a happy lady.

House Update

and Mr.B have been so very busy with our new home in the country...We love our new German community and house, as you can see the floors are layed. Work still needs to be done like wall paper removel, painting, bathrooms, bed rooms ect,ect
... but Rome wasn't built in a day!

The new floors are all installed...Ivy (seal point Himalayan) makes her self comfy on the area rug.

Red accents are taking shape.
Get that pink window treatment down!!!

My newest purchase for the house, my Uttermost lamps!
Remember the wall paper that had to come down..well as you can see I am have a wee bit of trouble!!!
If any one has some hints on how to get stubborn paper down please do tell.

This old painting I bought about 10 years ago...I've put it back into good use.

The red colors look good in the living room.
I love the antiquity of this painting.

Theres all ways time to play with our newest kitty...
Lilly Pad she's a seal/flame point Siamese

Mr.B works hard at putting things together, its a lot more work than I thought it would be!!!

...but my man does a great job with every thing.

New foe granite counter tops.

My new double sink looks sharp,

and the pull out faucet is a dream!!!

Back splash soon to be done.

The travertine marble back splash is waiting its turn to go up in the kitchen.

This is my little bit 'O fun my hubby got me to go back and forth to work....

Now, that I and my daughter live so close together we and the kids can meet for a country breakfast... the Rise and Shine!
(Every thing is so country...cool !!!)

The grandchildren play on there swing set at Gammas new house.

My daughter "Shmooygirl" http://www.shmooygirl.blogspot.com/ under the apple tree when in bloom in spring.

Even Vanilla Kisses our Norwegen Forest cat is enjoying the shade of the apple tree.

My first harvest of apples from my back yard tree...

See my side bar for my food blog, some interesting apple recipes there!!!

So there you have it....house buying, decortating, working full time, grandbabies, cooking...no wonder I dont have time for my blog.

I sure do miss it though...I hope I can do more blogging soon and join in Pink Saturdays again.

Until the next God Bless
