Songs my mother taught me

 Every day I drive past Dane Street beach on my commute. 

This was my view on Friday evening on my way home. 

Absolutely so beautiful it almost looks fake. 

The boat is The Friendship out of Salem, MA which is the next town over. 

I have to drive through Salem to get home as well and in October it can be

quite an experience. 

On the same evening I took this picture I saw a full grown adult man

wearing a one piece spandex Spiderman suit! He was no Tobey Maguire to say the least!

I am looking forward to November when I can drive home without the Salem craziness!

My co-teacher took this picture of me while we were at the playground at work. 

I don't normally where jeans to work but it was Friday and an early dismiss day for the children

because teachers had a professional development day.

I am thankful to work at a place that I really enjoy.

Close to 15 years ago my mum stopped by to see me one morning.  Apparently my naturally wavy hair 

was a little on the wild side. 

The next day she gifted me a hair dryer! 

I hated to get rid of it because my mother gave it to me but it wasn't blowing enough air to blow out a 

birthday candle so I finally got a new one. 

I dried my hair in record time and I think my mother would have approved of my 

tame, semi-styled hair-do.

It has certainly been getting colder at night around here! I needed a new comforter for my bed

so I went out and bought myself a very pretty sage green puff and a new set of dusty blue sheets.

My bed was so comfortable and I didn't wake up chilly in the middle of the night. 

Tucker, my cat, approved as well, especially since I kept the fuzzy blanket at the foot of the bed.

With the sun rising a bit later in the morning I am often able to catch the sunrise as I drive to work. 

One morning this week I saw this spectacular sunrise with the clouds forming a big bank over the ocean.

By the time I got to work the clouds had all rolled in and the rest of the day was very cloudy.

And...one more from Wednesday morning

My paternal grandmother and I loved each other very much. I have such fond memories of her.

Every time I see beams of light like this I think of her looking down and watching over me. 

Her birthday was at the end of November...she was born in 1898! Wow!

I'm adding a bonus number six this week because yesterday was my brother's birthday! This picture was from 2019 a few years before my other died. We were standing on the dock at the town landing down the street from where I live. We were happy to be all together.
