Such lovely days...

Well hello there everyone.. 

It has been awhile.. 

Sorry about that.. 

We have been busy and the last couple of weeks have been lovely.. 

Our dear boy came home from out west and we are so happy to be to reach out and actually touch him.. 

We have been so looking forward to seeing Dustin after ten months.. 

I think the dear thing got taller... 

Meeting him at the air port was a bit emotional as you can imagine.. 

Such a lovely feeling to wrap our arms around this kid that we have missed so... 

I am such an emotional person.. 

But they were tears of joy.. 

Terry is as bad as me.. smile.. 

Guess who else was happy...

So exciting!

Dear old Charlie did not forget this lad.... 

smile.. 

Dustin's first visit was to see his Gram... 

It was such a wonderful day!! 

 We have been celebrating here and there all week..   

Meanwhile at the farm... 

Everything is growing as it should.. 

Scarlet Runner Beans.. 

Herbs...

Zukes... 

Harvested our first crop of over the winter garlic... 

Love love them.. 

Decorated this sunflower,herb and veggie raised bed  with a few old saucers... 

On Sunday we all went to church together at our little church in Salisbury... 

Two grandsons were missed as one was working and one is away.. 

It was lovely! 

I think if my kids were to ask me if there was something that we could all do that I would love the most it would be to go to church together... 

It just makes my heart so glad!  

My Mom and Gerald came too... 

And Jada...

Thanking God for my precious family... 

Then... 

We all drove together in a convoy to Fundy National Park.. grin.. 

We ate at Harbour View... 

Dustin finally got to have some Fish from the East Coast.. 

Real fish as he calls it.. grin.. 

It was a lovely meal.. 

Then we visited the local bakery once again for the sticky buns and coffee.. 

Found a couple of picnic tables and just relaxed in the sun.. 

Some went for a walk to the beach and gathered shells and we just enjoyed ourselves.. 

The Bay of Fundy was very welcoming... 

The week has continued... 

I am enjoying making breakfast ... 

And a couple of his faves ... 

Meat Balls.. 

He is visiting his friends though so as it is harvest season the work still goes on.. smile.. 

Terry has picked 8 grocery bags of beans off of one row.. 

I did 20 pints of French beans.. 

It took me several hours to cut them in the French style but hoping it will be worth the labour as I love canned French beans.. 

We shall see.. 

Then there were dill pickles to do... 

Fermented a few jars also.. 

Here is the little way I found on Instagram to decorate the jars of jam and such.. 

Bought some oilcloth from the Hardware and cut it our in circles.. 

Put on elastics to hold and tied them up with twine.. 

You can reuse these.. 

We had a lovely breakfast last week, too with our grandson... 

Matt...

He is in the Honduras this week... 

We just wanted to see him before he left..

He is working hard down there..  

He will be home this weekend, also.. 

Thank the Lord... 

Every morning Charlie gets to see his master again.. 

Such a sweet photo of his devotion to Dustin... 

The sad thing though is that the week is almost over and he will be gone again for too long.. 

Talking on the phone and all the stuff the web offers is wonderful.. 

But it is not the same... 

He is happy though and doing well so this mama is satisfied and I just put his care in the hands of the Lord each and every day...

That is what we mothers and fathers do, eh? 

Lots of kids working out west these days.. 

The world changes but that doesn't mean I have to like it.. smile.. 

Summer is closing down and I need to buy a new steno tablet for lists of all the wonderful things I want to accomplish this Fall.. 

We have a few more days with Dustin and then next week I will try to be busy and not miss him so much... 

God is faithful and I am thankful... 

Thanks so much for stopping by this day.. 

Love having you visit and as always I so look forward to your dear notes.. 

You all rock... 

Take care of your sweet selves and your dear families... 

Hugs...
