uke, my friend

So I promised a post of a new friend I recently acquired. I would like to meet Uke, short for ukulele. He & I have already worked our way through a plucky rendition of Twinkle. Twinkle Little Star....& feel that we have much more love to come...
This has all come from Nate's great love of music. He really enjoys singing & musicing of all sorts. I've made a plethora of great but forgotten songs for him. Lucky for me his name rhymes with so many fine words. I hear that he love dates & does not like to be late....tis fate I do believe...
stay tuned....no pun intended!

a winter escape

Last week an opportunity arose for the children and I to escape to the wilds of Delaware. We left on Monday afternoon to go and visit Nana and Poppy. It was a lovely trip, we went beaching in 75 degree weather....

and slinging...

and thrifting (we acquired a lovely plate, white to the knee tube socks and 2 inspiring books....one is a photo history of ships and the other is a Mother's Almanac from the mid-seventies)

sand collecting...

hanging with poppy

a bit of music-ing

and one self portrait

fun was had by all.....and I aquired a new friend....which will be revealed soon!
