Dream Small

“Each day of our lives,
we  make deposits in the memory banks of our children …”
-Charles Swindoll 

 

It’s hot, humid and fully summer here on Prince Edward Island.

We are busy with the farm, busy with the garden and busy with family life. I do have a post that I am working on but just wanted to quickly say hello … it has been 18 years of blogging and I don’t plan on quitting anytime soon; even though the world has moved onto faster social media and pictures that post quickly from your cell phone. There are a few blogs that I still just love to read; so for anyone out there, who still enjoys reading a blog, I’ll keep at it for you and me. 🙂

I’m so grateful for this opportunity to live life in a way I have always dreamed … I feel so blessed to work with my family and spend time with them every day. This photo is taken after a long day of field work; my husband was hot and tired, but we still managed to take the children down the road to a quiet secluded beach for some cooling off.

These are the moments that make up my beautiful life – and I am grateful. xo

Gigi – Renee, absolutely delightful to hear from you … I often wonder how you are and where you are and how the boys are doing! I just was talking about you the other day, remembering your gorgeous purple dining room and how clean and cozy you kept your home. Miss you and sending love your way! xoxoxox P.S. I can see why you loved your cottage in the Maritimes!

Renee – Hello there my friend,
I love that you still blog. I check it for updates and then update the boys on their
Old friends. They love too to see what everyone is up to and how their friends are doing. I love that our children were little playing in the fields back in Ontario and now are growing up to become young adults. Time flies however those memories are golden. Please keep blogging as we love to keep reading them. Ps please say hello to them and Abby from us xo

Gigi – HI GIGI, I LOVE THE PHOTO, YOUR LITTLE GIRL IS GROWING VERY FAST ISN’T SHE? IT’S GREAT THAT YOU CAN RELAX WITH YOUR FAMILY ON THAT NEARBY BEACH, YOU ARE VERY BLESSED. I ALSO BELIEVE THAT WE LEAVE DEPOSITS IN THE MEMORY BANKS OF OUR CHILDREN, WE MUST LEAVE BEAUTIFUL MOMENTS, UNITED FAMILY, WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT OF CONSOLATION, KNOW THAT WE WILL ALWAYS BE THERE FOR THEM AND WHEN WE ARE NOT THERE, THEY WILL RESORT TO THE MEMORY DEPOSIT THAT WE LEAVE THEM. I ALSO HAVE A DREAM, I WANT TO LIVE IN A BIG HOUSE AWAY FROM EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE, WITH PLENTY OF SPACE TO HAVE A VEGETABLE GARDEN AND GARDEN, NOT TO HAVE ANY NEIGHBOR NEARBY, ALONE WITH MY HUSBAND AND FAMILY, I PRAY DAILY TO GOD TO GRANT ME THIS DREAM, ALTHOUGH SOMETIMES IT SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE TO ME, BUT IS THERE SOMETHING IMPOSSIBLE FOR GOD? BLESSINGS TO YOU AND YOURS.

ANA – HOLA GIGI, ME ENCANTA LA FOTO, TU PEQUEÑA ESTA CRECIENDO MUY RAPIDO ¿NO? QUE BUENO QUE PUEDES RELAJARTE CON TU FAMILIA EN ESA PLAYA CERCANA, ERES MUY BENDECIDA. TAMBIEN CREO QUE DEJAMOS DEPOSITOS EN LOS BANCOS DE MEMORIA DE NUESTROS HIJOS, DEBEMOS DEJAR BELLOS MOMENTOS, FAMILIA UNIDA,PALABRAS DE ALIENTO DE CONSOLACION, SABER QUE SIEMPRE ESTAREMOS AHI PARA ELLOS Y CUANDO NO ESTEMOS, ELLOS RECURRIRAN AL DEPOSITO DE MEMORIA QUE LES DEJAMOS. TAMBIEN TENGO UN SUEÑO, DESEO VIVIR EN UNA CASA GRANDE LEJOS DE TODO Y DE TODOS, CON MUCHO ESPACIO PARA TENER UNA HUERTA Y JARDIN, NO TENER A NINGUN VECINO CERCA, SOLO JUNTO A MI ESPOSO Y FAMILIA, ORO DIARIAMENTE A DIOS PARA QUE ME CONCEDA ESTE SUEÑO, AUNQUE A VECES ME PARECE IMPOSIBLE, ¿PERO HAY ALGO IMPOSIBLE PARA DIOS?. BENDICIONES PARA TI Y LOS TUYOS.

Emily – I love your blog and have read it since I was about 13! I’m now 22 with my own little 18month old and I still love reading it just as much! I’d love to hear what other blogs you enjoy reading though

Thank you so much for your encouraging words
