daybed

the weather has turned beautiful again (actually, we haven't had much rain yet)

and i am having trouble staying indoors and keeping still.

the daybed on the back deck was a favourite spot this past week,

especially for watching the barbecuer barbecuing the barbies.

today is another pro-d (professional development) day for my children

and we are starting our long weekend helping their grandma 

settle into her new, subletted (only for the winter) apartment.

everything in her place is modern, marbled and minimalized 

(a complete opposite to the rustic shabbiness of our home)

i can already hear it (the conversation on the car ride home)

"why don't we have heated bathroom floors?"

"why don't we have a dishwasher?"

"why, why, why, why, why????"

we've had these discussions umpteen times before.

i believe it's educational and important to 
expose our children to different lifestyle choices,
and the physical, relational, emotional, environmental, 
(um...did i forget anything, oh yah...)
blood-sweat-and-tears costs behind them.

then, it's great to come home to that 
daybed on the back deck !!!
