Pita from St. JOHNS farmers market Sunday mornings

This 
It's not quite summer and the roasting sun has seared the top of our heads and shoulders. My Aunt Cece and Becky and I mingled in front of the shaded vendors and laughed over our water bottles trying to keep cool.  Ran into the very glamorous dark red head I've ever met and her waist length in height son.

She had just been treated for poison ivy poor mama. She is the exact age of the modern day disney princess in person. Elegant, classic in style, and with a wholesome fashion sense thats easy on the eyes. Quickly we parted ways with a couple last greetings of shared persons from school.  Waiting for my aunts who were ahead of me buying those hang up plants, I glanced over to the baba ganoush varieties for $5.00 each.

picking up the pita bread after standing under the cheese vendors was much more of a relief than smelling the pungent and sharp smells, ordors, aromas or warm appearance I'm the hotness of the morning, where we laughed and had so much functastings samples of exotic and tropical cheeses from around the world.

Bringing the pita bread home, the first day without toasting it, was dry and tasteless . The second day after toasting it and baking the rest of it in the oven drizzled with olive oil too brought out the pita breads best. My son, my mom, and I ate at the table and with the company of two shiny and silky feathered friends at the window sill next to little guy who felt as if the birds were meant to be there anyway and wasn't surprised as I was that the two birds were not seagulls or pigeons pecking away for food and still sat next to us on the window sill within inches from the tots high chair

To pita bread from the farmers market thank you for tasting so good, as my tot would say. And goodbye blog entry.

Grandpa and Dad in Paoli, IN



Enchantment of Paoli, IN has the clearest dark nights. And the hottest.sunshine.  here's a quick glimpse rough draft edgy written over the hard work behind the scenes.of grandpa's and daddy Warnecke's majestic dreams coming alive.

Day and night it takes planning, rest, and strategies to prepare for weather conditions for building a snuggley Grubb eating nest to roast pigs, lamb, and ribs.  Although hardy steak juicy and we'll done are the preference here with baked potatoes and tossed salads this is no diner restaurant.  Sorry folks this is the private reserves of a family inheritance of a beautiful place to getaway from it all and share I'm with an environment where love and joy grow everyday with new cheery trees, flowers blooming, and the wild nature calls of rural creatures.

It's a wonderful place that will touch hearts whove been there with soulful memories for a life time.  Campfires, baseball games, book reading under a shaded tree, music, lights, hot coffee in the morning with the hummingbirds, and a catfish pond.

Log splitting, canopies for a cool place to relax. Moonlit pathways into the the woods. A gazebo and outhouse on the way.  A place for deer to roam, and the trees sway back and forth all around the sweet lob cabin built by warm and gentle hands of friends and family.  There's dragon flys, butter flies, and whispering oaks through the windy breezes of clean cou try air.

Watching the dew in the morning and the sweet earthy smell of green grass as the fresh cut blows in the hot breeze it was so quiet whistling as loud as possible didn't stir anything.  The strange silence in the pitch black night swept up by the bright moonlight, the croaking of bull frogs, the snapping of turtes and twigs, lure the calm and stillness to the harmony of nature.

Dreams fill the imagination with colors serene and tranquil to attract you, and have you begging for a few weeks there.  Miles away the owners.spend 4 hours through the rugged rock and woods spread in acres of highways for miles.
many things there can get your mind off work, and home, and into the wild of rural southern charm and the mysterious ways that have you hungry for a  quiet stay in Paoli, IN.

Tottling Tots

In NW Indiana, routines are what keep you flourishing as a parent in the springtime.  Caring for a tot is a clear and present love for mother.  Sunshine, walks, runs, and asking permission, and constant questions can turn your tot into a leader, confident and bold for learning and teaching too.  There is rain, temperature, and nature to daily priorities of showing them each of these along with the crafts of whatever u have in mind.

For example, coloring, drawing, learning new flags of countries, or snack time three to six a day.  Milk.  Trying exotic new foods once in a while maybe.  During night terrors caressing their tiny hands and gently on cheeks to bring them into wake away from that dreams thing happening as their sleepy eyes aren't awake yet.

Socks and shoes outside, or cut out shapes for cheese, and lunch meats.  Lots of tlc, rest, restoration for mom. And forever grooming to feel better. No time, keep calenders for important notes and appoients. In the start, it seems life is good,  and then it gets better,easier, and community fun begins.

Good mornings, good n8ghts, and arithmetic become glamorous.  Your sophistication becomes forever affection, and or hugs, cuddling, and kissies, sippy cups, sun block, and lots of bubbles.  Tickling, laughing, and cooing will be permanent with growing health and wealth of time with tot.

Making room for imagination,  dance and sing. Learn from mom's all around the world. What is it that cultures or routines with tots in other parents fashion doing?  Keep open low sugar treats around, plenty of attention and eye contact with tots for saftey and hunger to learn environment for them to discover new things.

Sounds of airplanes,trains, and sirens make a tots day.  Things never noticed on busy schedules tots can point out to you if you listen closely with  an open heart. Birds, owls, woodpeckers, dogs, and family time are their world. Clean hands and face with a warm wash cloth with diaper changes are made to show care to your tot.

book time too.  ChIago visits to see tall buildings and big water lakes too.art, new settings, along the way to grandma's in three towns over. Driving is everything to a tot. Feeling the rain, snow, and having all the four Seasons and open acres of tractors in this area. Horses, deer, and sometimes cows to view out grandpa's convertable.  Driving in big trucks, touching big wheels, and learning speech can ride your life for a while in whatever style of play with y our tot.
