Father’s Day with Pa Hayes and family…
and the poem by Anna…

What makes a Dad!

God took the strength of a mountain
The majesty of a tree
The warmth of a summer sun
The calm of a quiet sea
The generous soul of nature
The comforting arm of night
The wisdom of the ages
The power of eagle’s flight
The joy of a morning in spring
The faith of a mustard seed
The patience of eternity
The depth of a family need
When God combined the qualities
He knew his masterpiece was complete
And so, He called it…Dad.

Grateful today for
a lovely father’s day lunch,
Anna’s beautiful poem,
and for dads.

Saturday in the park

2013-06-08

Saturday morning – recording time for virtual choir 4.
A very odd experience to record oneself singing…
Once my mate and I got over our laughter, a few more takes and it is done!

Done in time for our visit with M+M.
A walk down to Fort York and then to Stanley Park,
ending in a drumming session at Wellington. Great fun!

Grateful today for
completing the video – even though the best take didn’t save, it’s done!
an fun afternoon outdoors and in with M+M,
and for my mate’s new drums and a pan flute too!

Spring Cleaning

2013-06-01

Woke up this morning and began a day of spring cleaning.
Whew! 9am – laundry in, bedroom and main floor all cleaned up.

K-OS for breakfast – nice to walk there and back,
a few items picked up in the market before returning home.

Treated this afternoon to lunch by MunHee + Alex.
Wow! our favorite K-dishes…YUM!
And time with the beautiful song boys.

A relaxed evening and more spring cleaning…
Clothing drawers organized and freed.
And then it is movie time – tonight’s feature: Jack the Giant Slayer.

Grateful today for
a perfect spring cleaning Saturday,
our visit with Yi-Chan and Yi-Min,
and for lunch – thank you so much for making lunch for us today!! xxoo

Reunions

2013-05-12

Brief hail storms this morning – mixed with sunshine and cloud.
Surprising weather for Mother’s Day.

After brunch with PVS,
we head out to see Ma+Pa Hayes for a mother’s day visit.

Returning home,
it is wonderful to have G+B back in town and visiting with us.
Chee-to is also thrilled to see G again!

2 Years old!! I can hardly believe it.
Photo days with Alex, Ed + Claire – every 2 months for the last 2 years
Truly flew by.

Loved being at the Palmero bakery and cafe,
and then with Ed + his girls…
So fun to be together.
And at the park on the ridge! Wow!

Grateful today for
Ed, Claire + Alex – have loved sharing the past two years with you!
Thank you so much for sharing your Sunday mornings with me.
