"I do believe in an everyday sort of magic...the inexplicable connectedness we sometimes experience with places, people, works of art and the like; the eerie appropriateness of moments of synchronicity; the whispered voice, the hidden presence, when we think we're alone." Charles de Lint

Waffles at the Condo

 I hope you saw the full moon last night! It was spectacular! 

This was a "supermoon" when its orbit is closest to the earth at the same time it's full. The next one will be October 7, 2025.

And the morning light on the pond made us stop our my tracks!


Margie would have been 93 today!

Margie was at her best in the morning....so many of our family celebrations included waffles at the condo. And a breakfast menu worked for everyone's food preferences so it was a win!

And during a recent visit while she was in rehab Margie told Janice that her favorite meal was "waffles at the condo." 

So last evening Nate, Sam and Kelly joined us for waffles at the condo to celebrate Margie's birthday.

Out came the birthday frogs...a few balloons... and the "Happy Birthday" banner we've had since the boys were young. Happy Birthday Margie!

      Thanks Kathy! The boys gave us the waffle iron way back as a Christmas present. So it has kind of been our thing for a long time....and I'm certain it will continue.
