syrup floral and pleasant words! oh boy!

The other day I had my mom over to sit in the sun and enjoy a cup of tea.
We were talking about people my age and living in Calgary.. how all people really wish to do is go out drinking.. not really my style

a quote from my mother
"your not really a party girl.. your more like a grandma"
kristen-> "hahahahahah"
mom-> "and those things are probably the things I love most about you!"


mom has better grammar.. but you get the general idea.


and mom is right! I love baking, drinking tea, going on walks, not wearing revealing clothes..  I love antiques.. pastel colours, plants.. floral patterns on clothes.. 
I don't swear.. I hardly ever get drunk, I try to be kind, respectful and compassionate to everyone I meet.. 
and when I think about it.. I think most of my 'granny like qualities' are the qualities I like most about myself as well!


the photo choice you ask? well this picture is from a very exciting part out our trip looking at the many different kinds of honey, jam and most exciting of all... SYRUP! 
we spent a long time there.. for there were tough decisions to make!! we even planned to go back a second time.. but we got to busy sitting on the porch waiting for a cougar or bear to wander into the backyard in Kelowna
