are a wonderous lot, diverse if nothing else... incase your wondering why i'm talking about grandmothers, it's because i just spent several days with 6 of them, and one being a great grandmother... all of us similar but not, was a magical few days...
we went to The Calico Cat Teahouse in Nanaimo, at rather unearthly time of 9:30 on a Sunday morning! All of us had our tea leaves read by Heather, the proprietor, who's simply one of the best readers i've encountered... if you ever come to Nanaimo and are interested in a great bite to eat and an even better reading go to there.... well worth it!!
after our breakfast we wandered around Nanaimo and followed the roads along the waterfront and watched a couple of seaplanes land.. some of the grandmothers aren't coastal folk and were excited to see the ocean...
after seeing the waterfront we wandered inland to Coombs to check out other tourists and the best ice cream cones! we checked out some of the little shops and the goats on the roof.. it's another great place to wander, any season...
ahhh was great fun!!
today i spent with one of my children.... shopping!! we are the queens of thrift stores!! i got a very cute little red curio cabinet and a couple of cute little dishes, she bought some collector plates and dog beds!
i've decided it fit on top of another cabinet which i got for $5.00 at another time and thrift store shopping trip.... anyways.. the curio cabinet matches my favorite mixing bowls!! YAY for luck!!
i perused my garden and it's perked up a bit... we've had a bit of rain, and much cooler weather..
perhaps now my Scarlet Runners will start to form beans!
tonight i made a gumbo with my tomatoes, onions, some corn and okra and some turkey sausage.. was pretty tasty!!
