Anna asks, “Do you see the deer?” and Maura sees Cloud Shadows

Camouflage deer and cloud shadows on the sea. It’s a shared guest blog by two sisters. My granddaughters. Anna and Maura.

Earlier this week it was the Tinned Fish Tasting and Anna trying sardines and sharing her photos. Maura shares abandoned furniture sightings with me and had the trio of toilets post just a bit ago.

It makes a grandmother happy to know the granddaughters are noticing, paying attention, and documenting what they see in the world, sharing with me and now I’m sharing with you

Oh and my very own daughter Laura (their aunt) sent me the Turquoise Toilet on the lawn ❤️recently. Thank you all.

I appreciate their content contributions to the blog. (You too dc, tw and jb)

A Tinned Fish Tasting

Guest blog.

My granddaughter Anna was invited to a Tinned Fish Tasting.

Do you have a favorite tinned fish?

“We had tuna, sardines and smoked salmon”

Tried sardines today! Pretty good.”

And earlier on Sunday my friend Jen brought me a tin of fish by the same brand

Here’s a tin of anchovies I found on my pantry shelf

Happy 19th Birthday Jack

May your birthday be the start of a happy new year, Jack. ❤️ Love, Froo

Mail for St. Patrick’s Day

The Kindergarteners write holiday cards and mailed them to their grandparents. I love this message.

Thank you for the lovely card, Shanti.

Home Sweet Home Throwback Thursday

My grandmother, the one who taught me to knit, crocheted this antimacassar or doily. I stitched it onto a plain velveteen pillow. It’s at my sister’s.
