Road Trip Day 5 – Four Corners

Saturday 8th September 2018

Four states in one day! I bought a beautiful little decoration for the Christmas tree in Utah, made by Yolanda LaMone who lives in New Mexico!

Arizona Boots, A Baby Naming and My Cat Likes to Hide in Boxes

25 Aug

1. My lovely sister had these boots made for me by an artist in Prescott, Arizona after I had so admired hers. I always wear them for Baby Naming Ceremonies.

2. Two days of downpour prevented today’s Baby Naming Ceremony from being in the garden but it all went off very well in the Village Hall. H was delightful and did listen when I spoke directly to him – “We have come together here today to formally introduce you, H, to our world. Please treat it gently, with respect and with a curious mind.”

3. I was reminded today of a beautiful picture book for children which we must read to Jake. Go to Sam and Holly‘s blog for a review of ‘Rosie’s Walk’. I don’t seem to have the copy we had for our four but came across this old favourite in the collection that I have kept for the next generation. We all loved the rhyme and the fun and had a couple of cats who loved to hide in boxes!

Fungi, Baby Naming and Singing with The Briefcases

21 Apr

1 Waiting to do the Baby naming, I was wandering around Potager Gardens and spotted this very beautiful fungi on the woodpile wall. Just look at those patterns. Click to make any photo bigger. Do any of my readers know what kind of fungus this is?

2 The Baby Naming Ceremony was truly beautiful and enjoyed by all – even though there were also some tears.

The Cornish name Lowen means Happy. What a lovely gift to give to your child. I wore my happyboots that my Sister had made for me in Prescott, Arizona. They are my special boots for Baby Namings.

3 Just 10 of the Suitcase Singers went to Tremough University to take part in a concert of various local choirs. Tonight we were the Briefcases as we are such a small version of the whole Suitcases choir. Some of us were very nervous but it went well and we were well received.
