THIRTY THREE YEARS

In life, you will realize there is a
role for everyone you meet. Some
will test you, some will use you,
some will love you, and some will
teach you. But the ones who are
truly important are the ones who
bring out the best in you. They
are the rare and amazing people
who remind you why it's worth it.

Well, the first week
of school lessons wasn't
too bad, even Algebra,
it would seem I know
more than I thought I
did. My favorite class
by far is Life Skills,
we're cooking, using
Tamar Adler's An Everlasting
Meal and it's a joy to
share my love of food
with the last of my babies.
{All of my children can
cook....and clean].

I discovered a wee nest where
my tiny girls have been laying
their eggs, they weren't in the
regular nest. Silly Bantam's.

We celebrated Black Cat
Appreciation Day, thanks
to friends on FaceBook for
keeping me up to date on
all these important days.

I knit a hat for Emerson.
Karen's, from Fringe Association,
Stadium Hat Pattern was so
easy to knit and I think it
will look perfect with the
pullover.
She is hosting a knit along,
Fringe Hatalong No.4, this
time using colorworks which
I might have to cast on.

I woke up this morning to
seeing this photo of Emerson
on my computer.
I miss her!
She will be starting 2nd grade
on Monday and is excited to
begin a new journey and I am
excited for her.

Porter is growing, fast, and will
be 3 months on Saturday. I will
be babysitting next Saturday and
am looking forward to holding
this wee love.

Tomorrow My Mike and I
celebrate thirty three years of
marriage! It's been worth it.

Happy weekend my loves!

Love,
Tracey
XO

  4. Happy anniversary, Tracey! We just celebrated twenty-seven years last Thursday. : )

    I haven't commented in a while, but I have been thinking of you and Emerson and keeping your family in my prayers. I love your banner photos--it is spectacular and does something wonderful to my heart every time I visit here. Our cat (Indiana Jones) is a black cat, too. I didn't know about Black Cat Appreciation Day or I would have made black cat cookies with my new cookie cutter! Porter is one adorable little guy--and getting so big! I love the hat you knit for Emerson, and I am so glad that you are off to a good start with homeschooling . . . the very last year. Sigh. Wishing you a blessing upon blessing in the days and weeks ahead. ♥

    I just love that baby tee, so cute and a perfect pose :)
    Emerson's hat looks perfect.
    I am sorry that I had never heard of black cat appreciation day before. I hope Florence ( our own black kitty ) hasn't felt left out. We will have to celebrate next year :)

  14. What a moody sky in that first picture. Glad you discovered the egg hiding place. My chickens are now laying in the duck hut, but it is still hit or miss if I find it before they decide to eat it.

  23. We were away for a week and when I came home I discovered our new batch of chickens have begun laying in a nest they dug out behind my daylilys instead of in the 2 beautiful nesting boxes in their coop. Silly chickens, indeed.
    P.S. Happy Anniversary!
