don’t let vehicle problems go unfixed for too long, folks (i rode on a leaky front fork which i fixed last night in an hour, but because i’d let it leak oil all over my front brake for months i had to clean it all and replace the brake pads, a process that took three additional hours, during which i discovered that my brake caliper pistons had seized because of all the oil and gunk in and around them from the leaky piston. so now i can’t ride till i’ve fixed it, and while i’m at it i might as well change the brake fluid and try and do the fork oil as well cause i have to top it off anyways and if i’m gonna crack it open i might as well just drain and replace it cause it’s overdue…)

Surprise Gift of Life - Part 2
25-30weeks pregnant
Between 25 weeks and 30 weeks lots of growing going on and the sensation of baby moving changes and grows stronger. I have noticed that after 30 weeks, my new pattern is active mornings, energy dipping in the afternoon, sometimes with naps or just chilling out on the sofa.  
Due to my husband's working patterns, getting up as early as 4am, and my uneasy sleep patterns where I can wake regularly and then not settle for up to a hour, we have been sleeping in separate rooms. Not something that we wanted to do, but it has taken the stress out of things for the both of us. The other week he came down with a cold which then enforced the good, sleeping in different rooms was.  
Though it has made me feel low at times, as the physical contact has been low, even more so with lockdown meaning no hugs from family.  
To combat this and some negative idea and fears associated with giving birth, being that a shift to a 10 weeks countdown to due date suddenly felt very short and real, I started looking for antenatal classes and looking at videos to help with bathing, changing and tips for the first few days with a new born. All very eye opening and empowering, knowledge is power.    
It did take me some time to find the right classes/group for me, most online courses cost anywhere between £34 up to £150, many being life group sessions, which didn’t suit myself or my husband, again due to work patterns and that I like face to face rather than online meetings.   Keeping it focused more on supporting mental health and natural birthing, Hypnobirthing was suggested to me by my midwife, which I've found really energising and supportive for the person I am, as it aims to give power of what happens and how things progress back to the mothers.   
Bump to Baby Chapters is the group I'm with, all recorded videos which means you can re-watch over and over again, exercises videos, music etc... low cost which makes it really accessible, Facebook page and also again with the idea of knowledge is power, you have both the physical aspects of what happens, for a first-time mum who has no idea what a contraction could feel like etc, was really helpful and eased fears and worries about how to cope with them and when they could start etc... and this thus supported the mental health aspect, looking at calming methods, positive reinforcements, affirmations and steps. Using these ideas, I have a board in the kitchen with lots of positive birthing quotes, which is growing as time goes on to include, phone numbers, breathing steps, helpful reminders of things to do, ready for when contractions start, as it‘s highly likely I will be home alone. But it’s also there for anyone who could arrive to support me, parents, sister or partner, that they know what I'd like or can help me in some way, if I'm not able to tell them.
Reaching 35 weeks, which is only 4/5weeks from the due date, makes this the last time I’ll post till after baby has arrived, and so what happens next will be in another blog post.     So at this point, baby room is all ready for the little one, I’ve been talking family and partner through where things are and placing a box downstairs which contains baby changing kit and starting to pack baby bag and assemble my bag ready for the day when everything starts ups.  
My Midwife will be coming to do a home visit, which means I can check through what I'd like my birth to be like, get any last advice and tips, hopefully my husband can get the day off work to be here too. Up to now he’s not been able to attend any scans etc... and at this point would most likely help him to unburden himself. 
Overall, this journey has been quite lonely, mainly due to the lockdowns and so not being able to meet friends and family with children to get insights and advice, as much as I would have liked. Not working has been both good and bad, good in that I have been able to get things in order and be well prepared, but also trying to pace myself and not have anything to distract myself, like going to work 2 to 3 times a week, has made the weeks feel long.  
I have learnt so much about myself, faced fears that I didn’t know I had and also learnt the value in sharing inner feelings, growing as a person as my baby has grown and let go of attachments to self in the process, or at least seen unhealthy ones that I'm working on letting go of.  
Got very creative in this process as well, made a baby mobile, sensory felt toys and almost got a blanket finished, which I might ask someone else to finish if baby comes sooner than later.  
Photo: Hand embroidery, with fabric paint background and patchwork layers. Patches made by friends and family being joined together to create a baby blanket.
Each day baby is growing, I can feel all his turns and stretches. It really is a wonderful, surreal feeling. I can feel his feet pushing agents my belly, and although I’m trying to not get impatient and enjoy these moment, including all the uncomfortable bits too, I can’t wait to hold this little bundle, see him stretch and hold on to his little feet.
The last of the baby stuff arrived, my dad’s blue silver cross pram, which he was sent when I was born and came all the way from Scotland. A rocking chair that my parents used when we (me and my sister) were small, and blankets from my husbands Gran.
A lot of extra weight being carried, so doing far less and with my due date 2/3 weeks away I’m not worrying at all about things I can’t do. Even going out for walks is only when I have the energy, as I have a wear a bump support else I get stitches. But I can still sit on the floor, cross my legs, get my soaks on and squat without to much fuss, and also I don’t get back ache, so I take the good with the bad.
I feel that it’s very important to not let the bad things pull you down, find a new rhythm and flow of life, because our bodies are truly amazing, they do so much without us directing them to do it, and when we learn to listen and trust in ourselves miracles happen.
That’s me signing off till after baby arrives.

The Beginning
So I’ve finally decided to start blogging about my pregnancy and journey to motherhood.  Never mind that I am 37 weeks pregnant and we are going to meet Miss Margot in just a few short weeks.  I figured better late than never, and I want our story to be told because it was not an easy journey.
How it all started...
I have known that I wanted to be a mom since I was 23 years old.  I always talked about it, dreamt about it, and planned for it.  Unfortunately... my body was not cooperating.  In my first marriage, we began trying when I was 26.  That journey ended in frustration, lots of unanswered questions, and ultimately a divorce.  
The doctors did not know why I couldn’t get pregnant.  I seemed perfectly healthy, aside from the endometriosis.  In December 2011, I underwent laparoscopic surgery to remove the damage from the endometriosis in my uterus and fallopian tubes.  The surgery was successful, but despite that - we were unable to conceive.
After my divorce in 2013, I put having kids on the back burner.  From 2013-2016 I kind of went through a “wild” phase.  I dated a lot, I partied a lot, and I drank a lot.  I feel like I was definitely reckless at that point in my life.  I’m thankful that nothing “bad” happened to me while I was out being crazy.  Because I got married so young, I felt like I needed to experience a lot.  I traveled, spent time with friends, and enjoyed myself a lot.  I was very selfish and I knew it.
In 2016, I got into another serious relationship.  It moved fast... too fast... but I wanted so desperately to be a part of a family, I just went along with it.  He had a son, and I loved the idea of being a stepmother.  Even though there were warning signs from the very beginning, I put those aside to try and be a part of a family.  Inevitably, things fell apart and we ended our relationship (and engagement in March 2017).
At this point, I was sure I wasn’t going to be able to be a mom.  I was pushing 35, single, and had no answers as to why I hadn’t been able to get pregnant in my mid-20s.  I wasn’t necessarily upset about it anymore... I had just kind of settled on it.  I figured that maybe I would adopt when I got a little older (with or without a man).
Enter Jamie...
I met Jamie in April 2017 when a friend invited me to go to trivia at a bar in Downtown Sanford.  We all had such a good time that it became a weekly occurrence.  I remember looking forward to Wednesday nights, when I could sit back, have a beer, laugh with friends, and use some of the pointless pop-culture knowledge that I have.
After a few weeks, I really started to notice Jamie.  He was funny and weird.  He knew a lot of obscure knowledge, songs, and movies.  I liked talking to him and I thought he was so handsome.  I laughed so hard when I heard that his ringtone was Take on Me by Aha.  He was weird and interesting like me.  I didn’t think too much of it though - I had just gotten out of a relationship and I was scared to be interested in anyone else.
Then, suddenly it was Late May and I was working in my classroom one afternoon.  A mutual friend (and another trivia buddy) sent me a text to tell me that Jamie had a crush on me.  I don’t think I have ever smiled that hard in my life.  He then went on to tell me that he thought we would get along (”going to farmer’s markets and shit like that”) and asked if he could give Jamie my number.  I said yes.
That evening, I got a text from Jamie and we started talking.  As they say... the rest is history.  We clicked immediately and as they say... the rest is history.  We spent that summer getting to know each other, traveling, and falling in love.
The decision...
Sometime in late-summer/fall of 2018 - we started talking about having a family.  Jamie knew he wanted kids and so did I.  Just talking about it brought up all those old feelings, frustrations, and questions I had about my odds of becoming a mother.
We decided that we would start trying.  Or at least try and get some answers as to why I couldn’t conceive before.  Then we would move forward with possible treatments... depending on what they were.  I found a wonderful fertility doctor and we went in for our consultation.  
The doctor explained that the first step was to get a full blood work-up to figure out what was going on with me hormonally.  I would also have to come in a few times during my cycle to get ultrasounds and see what was going on with my ovulation.  
The journey begins...
My first few appointments were full of preliminary stuff - blood tests, ultrasounds, etc.  After a few weeks, I got the results of my full blood work-up:  Low odds of conceiving naturally due to low AMH levels.  Not great egg quality.  Jamie got his results - super healthy.  That was good news, because at least we knew that we would only have to target my issues.
We sat down with the doctor and he told us that there are four options:
1)  Oral fertility medications
2)  Oral fertility medications + injectables
3)  IUI (Intrauterine insemination)
4)  IVF (In-Vitro Fertilization)
Doc said that he didn’t recommend just oral fertility meds, because I’d tried those back in the day and they didn’t work.  I had gone through about six cycles of Clomid, in increasing doses.  He recommended jumping straight to oral fertility medications and injectables along with frequent monitoring during my cycle to see if it was working.
Jamie and I sat down and discussed and decided to wait until after the holidays and December 2018 before starting to try.  On top of all this - it was going to cost $2000 for three monitored cycles (lots of ultrasounds and blood work included).  The medications were going to be extra.  Oh yeah, and neither of our insurance companies covered ANY of it.
Let’s do this!
In January 2019, we decided to start officially trying.  We ordered the medications (they ship them right to your door) and prepared to start.  I started taking the oral medications during the first week of January, during days 3-7 of my cycle.  Those meds were cheap - only about $7 at Costco.
Tumblr media
Enter... the injectables.  I had a huge amount of anxiety about using them.  First, I’ve never given myself a shot.  Second, they were $500 (for the daily injections) and $150 more for the “trigger shot.”  We said, what the heck... paid for the meds and the three cycles and decided to give it our best shot.
I started giving myself injections after work on day 7, 9, and 11.  The first day I was terrified.  Would it hurt?  Yeah, probably... but I have a pretty good pain tolerance.  The good thing was that the shot was pre-measured and in a little Epi Pen type thing, so you really couldn’t mess it up.  
I went in for an ultrasound on Day 10 and VIOLA - the meds were working!  I had three nice big juicy follicles ready for ovulation.  They measured the sizes and all three were great.  I was ecstatic!
I had to return a couple of days later to see if they were still developing and THEY WERE!  Now it was time for the trigger shot.  The nurse in the office was great... she helped me measure it and administer it to myself.  It hurt a little more than the other shots, but it wasn’t bad.
So we were all ready to make a baby.
How to make a Margot:
7.5 mg of Femara (for 5 days)
112.5 mg of Gonal-F (for three days)
One Pregnyl Trigger Shot
And... 
Late-January came and after that horrendous two-week wait, I could start testing.  I took about three tests and... nothing.  All negatives.  Then one morning at work, I went to the bathroom and there it was... a light pink streak of blood.  I called Jamie and told him it hadn’t worked.  We decided to take a month off and resume in March.  All this was very mentally draining.
But wait...
My period only lasted about 48 hours and it was very, very light.  No cramps, nothing... and then it disappeared.  On a whim, one Sunday after church, I decided to stop by the store and pick up a couple of pregnancy tests just to be sure.
BAM!
Tumblr media
On February 17, I found out that I was going to be a mama.  I peed on that stick and it LIT UP instantly with a positive.  I screamed in the bathroom and immediately took a second test and saw the same result.  I freaked out... couldn’t sit still... was in tears.
I called Jamie (he was working that afternoon) and told him he was going to be a dad.  His response, “Really?”  In the next few days, I went to my fertility doctor and had it confirmed with a blood test.  IT WAS OFFICIAL!
Neither of us imagined that it would work on the first cycle.  We couldn’t believe how lucky we were.
So that’s how it all began.  First trimester... commence!

Soggy saturday six.......
1. So I just came from a memorial service for a man who was a Kodiak legend, for whom I had worked a few years back on what was lovingly called “the gut barge”. Kodiak processes a lot of pollock, which ends up mostly as surimi, aka “imitation crab meat”. Well when there is a lot being processed, often the plant that deals with the guts, aka biodry, gets overwhelmed and cannot process it all. So, the guts of the processed pollock (and undersized pollock, and the occasional salmon) get placed on a WW2 era landing craft with giant, open topped tanks, taken 5 miles out and dumped. The actual work is pretty fun and easy-you popped the hatch on the tanks, and out came the volume of yuck. After most had drained, I would climb in and spray most of the remaining offal out of the tanks and the surrounding deck. I know it sounds gross, but there was only one part of the job that was miserable-keeping eagles off the boat. Now before I say what I’m about to say, let me be perfectly clear- I love nature. I love being able to go to work and see the grandeur that is Alaska and the ocean. I do my best to always return to the water fish that we do not intend to harvest, and I do my best to be kind to birds. But I hate eagles (I’d say the Eagles, but I’m not the dude, and this is not a lebowski blog). Seriously, for being our national bird, they are one of nature’s biggest trash birds. Here, you can’t not run into them at any given juncture in an outdoor activity. Add a big pile of protein like the gut barge, and they become a nuisance. Like bad. At one point I counted 35 on deck. Now I know what you are thinking, that’s kinda cool-where’s the problem? Problem is that if one or more of these buzzards become injured or observed eating off of your vessel, it becomes a national marine fisheries service issue. And a United States Fish and Wildlife service issue. And when it becomes an issue, each violation lightens ones wallet by 10k. Yikes, right? So what does this have to do with a funeral? My enduring memory of the boat owner is that of him our on deck, with a broom, shooing away bald eagles, all of whom giving him the look like, “what is this little native jackass doing, trying to scare us away. ….OH S#@T, HE’S MAKING CONTACT, FLY AWAY, FLY AWAY!!!!”. Right then and there, watching him shoosh eagles with a broom, I knew he was a nut. But a good nut. And he will be missed. 2. I am good friends with his daughter, who put together an amazing slide show of pics her dad. She and I talked for a minute, and it reminded me of how this last couple of weeks has seriously been crappy, and that we are approaching the age where we are losing our parents. Mom was the first one. After changing doctors, she had an appointment with a new fella from Wisconsin. He did a battery of tests on what was assumed to be an inflamed lymph node (thanks to a bite from a hobo spider), which occurred on a Tuesday afternoon. On Wednesday morning, they called her and told her they needed to come in the following morning for further tests. No waiting, no messing around, and urgent. Fortunately the next morning after a few more tests, it was simply a soft tissue tumor and benign. Then there's the ongoing saga of my dad. He's having serious heart issues where his valves aren't filling and emptying correctly. So he went in a couple weeks ago and they did the whole stop/restart manouver on his heart twice, which didn't work to fix the problem. So, he's going in next week to be administered a drug that is supposed to pharmacologically fix the issue. He has to be in the hospital for its course because it could kill him. And if that doesn't work, they want to try and "kick start it" again, and if that fails........re-evaluate. The truth about all of this is that I'm not ready for this. Selfish as it is, I'm not quite ready to even face their mortality. When I lose both of them, I'm alone here. I have 2 step brothers (brothers), but they're doing their own thing. I'm my mom's only child. And let's face it-it's just me. I have nothing to show for this life, and while I've lived a lot, I have no legacy. Nothing to say, "yep, Geoff is leaving this". My parents? Both can say they did-both have left their marks on their respective occupations, both recognized as giving above and beyond and excelling. Me? I can't say that I do..... 3. So if anything, facing their mortality has reinforced my needing to complete the album I've been working on. But because of being sick, a bad cod season, and sheer cost, I'm looking for alternatives for studios. I started a go fund me for this album, but I feel super cheeky doing it. I know I could use the help, but damn it feels strange asking for it. 4. But that being said, now that I feel like a human being again, I'm able to go back to work and play catch up. I have one halibut job lined up, and almost got 1 more. All of this goes for school for my merchant mariners credentials, so I can finally be qualified for a real job. Something that actually will always pay the bills. Because I'm tired of being such a nomad....I've plans so damn many times, and it seems like they've always fallen through. In rediculous ways. Like its almost a Greek tragedy. And to that, I say no more. 5. Speaking of Greek tragedies, I'm absolutely floored by the passing of the ACHA. Unlike many who voted for it, I read it. I read the ammendments(or as many as were available), and find myself sickened that most of my fellow Americans can now be put in to the category of having a pre-existing condition , and therefore be charged more for insurance, without a cap on said charges . I don't even know what to say anymore. Every time I think they have reached the limits of their inhumanity and greed, they find a new level. My question is this- what will it take for them to quit asking the question, "what's in it for me" to those who offer campaign donations, and start asking "what can I do that will benefit all of my constituents?" Because this? This wasn't it. And when will those who actually have a heart in the GOP realize that their efforts are simply making it easier for what's left of the middle class to be fleeced by corporate America by what will become one of the largest transfers of wealth in US history (may not look like it now, but medicare is next.....)??? Ok, no more politics. Lol. 6. But seriously, enough of politics. You all are amazing for listening. I know I owe at least a few of you a write back on notes, and lemme get another beverage in me tonight and I will. I look at your lives, doing big and amazing things like being single parents, owning cats(lol), facing serious health issues with poise and calm, and I just admire y'all and send as much good karma your way as possible. I know we can kick this world's ass of we do it together, and I'm rooting for all of you. Thanks for listening, and just thanks!

Holy shit this is a lot of questions
Tagged by the lovely @outside-the-government. Thank you, love!
Tagging: @t-hy-lla, @goingknowherewastaken, @engineeringtrashcan, @lucyclairedelune, @captainsbabysitter-blog, @darlinleonard, and anyone else who wants to do this because I have a short attention span and am trying not to tag people who’ve already been tagged or who have already done this.
Also putting this under read more, because seriously, this is a lot of questions.

25. What did you do for your last birthday? Ok, this sounds a little like bragging which I hate doing. I was actually in Hawaii for my 21st birthday. My grandma wanted to take my family there so we planned the trip so we’d be there for my birthday. At midnight, my sister, brother, and at the time soon to be brother in law took me to a bar and I got a cocktail. The next day, my mom woke me up staying she was making French toast. Ten minutes later, my sister came in and said “We’re making mimosas. Get up if you want booze.” (Not even exaggerating about that).
That afternoon, I got to go on a helicopter tour of part of the island we were staying on. Then later we (my grandma, parents, siblings, siblings SOs, aunt, and uncle) went to a bar and got drinks and a whole lot of appetizers that ended up just being our dinner. And then we had cake and I opened presents back at the condo we were staying in.
I would like to be clear that most of the time my birthday consists of hanging around the house, going out to dinner, birthday cake, and then opening gifts. It’s a hell of a lot more mundane.

38. What do you like about yourself? My eyes. And my empathy.
39. Piercings? I have both my ears double pierced, so two piercings in each earlobe.
40. Blood type? I think O+...I’d ask my mom but she knows I’m doing a question post so that might be weird.
41. Nickname? Don’t really have one. I believe that Audie has nicknamed me kit-kat. But, yeah, I don’t really do nicknames.
42. Relationship status? So ridiculously single.
43. Zodiac? Leo.
44: Pronouns: She/Her.
45. Favorite TV Show: Is it weird if I actually say Star Trek TOS? I don’t know. I watch a lot of things. I’m trying to get into TNG or any of the other series, but I’m having a hard time getting into them. I’m kinda going through a phase where I’m not super into any tv shows. I like SVU.
46. Tattoos? Nope.
47. Right or left handed? Right handed.
48. Surgery? Uh, I’ve had to get teeth pulled when I was like 11 (they were all baby teeth)
49. Piercing? See #39
50. Sports? I like watching hockey. That’s pretty much it.
51. Vacation? I want to travel to a lot of places, but I don’t have any planned.

53. Eating? I just ate a quesadilla with ground beef taco meat.

56. Waiting for? My birthday and the contacts I bought because I’m almost out and the order I made from Ulta.
57. Want? A boyfriend. More friends. A job. To know how to talk to people. I want a hell of a lot of things.
58. Get married? Yes. It’s always been something I wanted.
59. Career? Don’t know what I want to do as a career yet, but I do want one.
60. Hugs or kisses? I’ve never been kissed, so I’m gonna go with hugs until find the right person to kiss.
70. Turned someone down? No. Never had the opportunity to.
71. Sex on the first date? Absolutely not.
72. Broken someones heart? No.
73. Had your heart broken? No. At least not romantically. I’ve had friends hurt me.
74. Been arrested? Nope.
75. Cried when someone died? Absolutely. Like instantly after my dad told me my grandpa had passed away I was sobbing.
76.. Fallen for a friend? No.
do you believe in…
77. yourself? Sometimes.
78. Miracles? Maybe. I’m not really sure.
79. Love at first sight? No. I believe in attraction and/or infatuation at first sight, but not love. Not the kind of love that lasts.
80. Santa Claus? My parents didn’t do the whole Santa Claus thing when I was growing up. So no, I don’t and never have.
81. Kiss on the first date? Like would I do it? Probably not. It would depend on the person and how well I knew them before.
82. Angels? Maybe.
83. Current best friends name? Rachel. And she’s fucking fantastic and my resident chemistry nerd and doesn’t have a tumblr unfortunately.
84. Eye color? I have total heterochromia so I have two different colored eyes. My right eye is blue. My left eye is green.
85. Favorite movie? I’m down to watch Star Trek anytime. I also watch Harry Potter at least once a year. And I loved Wonder Woman.

So my Harry Potter themed  Afternoon Tea  has come and gone. The most immersive and most expensive Tea i have done to date. It took the longest to prepare for the decor and foods and hopefully is the most elaborate to date.
I visited the  Harry Potter Studio tour on Thursday for the 1st time and did pick up some wizarding world items to enhance the Tea for the sweets challenge. The props alone for this Tea have made it the most expensive to date and find how much at the end of the blog.
Just  like the films it takes many people to make it all happen, and would like to thanks my parents and also partner for their help in the decor and filming on the day. It took most of the 2nd half of the week to do the decor, prepare the props and plan, shop and bake/prepare the treats on offer.
The Tea has been in the planning for over a year, but on paper mainly, since i was visiting the Studio Tour the same week i decided to end the week with the Tea.
I searched the internet and many of Pinterest posts for inspiration for  treats and foods to make alongside my original ideas. I have never read the books but seen the films. A lot of the references i found came from the books and small snippets from the movies. I wrote them all down and done a shortlist and came up with my menu. I was happy with all i did but you always want more. I ran out of space on the table  I need a long banquet table !
SETTING THE SCENE
Whilst planning i came up with the name Platform 9 Tea/4 as my backdrop was to be the Hogwarts Express. I already had a trolley from my market stalls so used that with some loaded up luggage to set the scene I wanted a cage for Hedwig but knew it would be a waste getting it for a one off, so found an adorable but expensive Hedwig from Platform 9 3/4 shop online  for £35 originally £45 and the biggest one they make and exclusive to the shop also.  The backdrop came from Ebay as per my others.
I saw the Hogwarts letter pack in Sainsburys and decided to make my own Acceptance letters and also brought a wax sealer online and made 20 to hang on a wall to set the scene further. I made some floating Candles from hot glue and Paper towel holders and tealights and hung from the ceiling. These were all hung with invisible thread so did indeed appear to be floating besides the obvious sellotape mark on the ceiling.
I had the idea also to have Hogwarts on the table  and that came in 3d puzzle form. I was lucky to win 2 auctions on eBay hoping all the pieces were there! it took me 5 days to complete both of them myself and 1 piece was missing. I paired them with my Lego like Harry Potter Mini figures and think they went great together even if the scale is somewhat out lol. I had imagined this in the centre of the table and  cake stands on each end, but was naive and it had to go at the far end of the table but looked good anyway.
  SORTING HAT
I do have one of the original talking sorting Hats but it doesn’t work, i saw Argos had a sale on the new version for £17.49 i got it as they are usually £40+ within a week or so it was back to normal price so glad i got it. I used it as a prop and to sort everyone into their Houses before we begun the Tea.
    THE TEA
I was lucky to get hold of the Harry potter Teapots, 1 from Primark and 1 from eBay( from primark) and the House crest Mugs these were all reasonable compared to most around. I found a Round Marauders map Beach towel ( yes round) i used as a tablecloth with my Black cloth underneath. I knew i wanted a Birdcage cake stand for the Tea and found one on Amazon using my vouchers i got 2 and £30 off. I did not try my plates on it and last minute figured the big plates would not fit, so had to use the side plates as the stand plates and big plates as our plates to eat off
I just had a choice of Loose leaf plain Tea and regular Tea for this Tea.
MUSIC
My Dad is the sound man and he had the Harry Potter Soundtrack from the films playing in the Background which created some ambiance.
  THE FOOD
After gathering references and ideas it took 3 days plus of preparation to make it all happen with all the sweets and savories enough to feed Dumbledoores army!
The savouries
For the Sandwiches i made  Endless Bacon , Corned Beef ( Ron’s least favourite) and Chicken & Ham
Cheese wand Scones
Pumpkin Pasties – These are mentioned as being eaten on the Hogwarts express and no mention of sweet or savoury, a lot of recipes made them Pumpkin Pie type fillings. I saw some savoury i made mine into Curried Pumpkin which were really nice.
Mini Steak Pies
THE SWEET STUFF
Their was endless possibilities for sweet items and i whittled it down to several, haa i still had loads.
Golden Snitch Cake ball Truffles – Sprayed gold and complete with Rice paper wings.
Treacle Tarts – Harry`s favorite apparently who knew?
Hagrids Rock Cakes – A definite improvement on Hagrids version these mini Rock cakes were great.
Harry`s Birthday Cake – I made a small Vegan Chocolate Cake complete with Strawberry Pink icing and a rustic message ” Happee Birthdae Harry” with the crack down the middle.
Lemon Sherbet Eclairs – Filled with Vanilla Cream and topped with Lemon Sherbet icing and crumbled Sherbet sweets dust.
ButterBeer mini Cupcakes – If you have never had Butter beer it is a cross between a cream soda and Butterscotch topped with a cream like top layer. To replicate this i made a Butterscotch flavour sponge topped with Butterscotch buttercream and coloured yellow.
Chocolate Frogs– right from the start on the Train these were a definite to add to the Tea. I made my own in some moulds with Rice Crispies/Coco pops pieces inside. typically they contain a Holographic wizard Cards in their boxes.
Philosophers Scones – Love the name i found online. I topped my Scones with a lightening scar for added effect.
I recorded the Tea live, but much to my horror afterwards found once the tablet fell the sound had cut out after 9 mins!
Luckily my partner had made his own videos and i borrowed them from him allowing the whole thing to be relived in short clips. I always film them via Facebook live and with a new tripods thought this would be okay. Tripod needs sorting out for next time seemed to be top heavy with my tablet resting on it. Happy with the combined footage
SWEETS CHALLENGE
As part of the Tea i wanted to have a Bertie Botts sweet challenge afterwards ( The disgusting flavours) and also take the chance to try some other Harry Potter inspired  Sweets. I got from Universal studios the original Frog and the studio tour here i got the rest of the Honeydukes Sweets and around other places. I looked at reviews of some and picked the ones which got the best scores. Some for what they was i left. I was lucky to get some cheap and discounted in Tkmaxx in a hamper bundle for £5
The sweets i got were
Chocolate Frog in Box – Universal Studios Orlando
Chocolate Frog packs x2 – Chocolate & Puffed Rice Pieces
Fizzing whizzbees
Peppermint Toads
Exploding Bon Bons Orange & Pineapple
Bertie Botts every flavour Bean
Jelly Slugs
Gringotts Chocolate Coins
Lemon Sherbets
 SO HOW WAS THEY?
The Bertie Botts Bean challenge  we picked 3 Beans each and from the reactions we all got mostly disgusting ones. I got Grass and Toothpaste which tasted like deep heat lol. I mixed them in with Bean Boozled which have nice and nasty flavours.
The Chocolate frog in box from the states is Big and fills the box but however is American Chocolate! so could not eat much of that for it is not the best eating Chocolate.
The Puffed Rice Chocolate frog with Cards were also not that great and i could not believe the size of them once opened compared to the size of the packet. Disgraceful for the price.
The Exploding Pineapple & Orange Bonbons in White Chocolate were very nice but not much fizz with the Popping Candy for any of us.
Fizzing whizzbees – I liked the Chocolate shaped like Bees but again not much of a whizz or Fizz, think it must have flown away.
Mint Chocolate Toads – Dark Chocolate and extremely strong Mint taste, okay but a bit overpowering for most of us.
Jelly slugs- various flavours and small little Chewy gummy sweets these were okay.
Gringotts Chocolate Coins – Come in a little sack with an emblem on it, the Chocolate was okay on these a novelty more than anything.
Lemon sherbets – i got these from Tesco they are nice just plain Sherbets
These sweets were interesting to try but expensive for what you get
Fizzing Whizzbees £8
Peppermint Toads £5
Frogs packs £4.50
jelly beans packs £3-4 each
Sherbets – available anywhere  really from £1 or less
Explosing BonBons £8
Jelly Slugs £3-4 a pack
Chocolate frog in Box £8-10
It was an eventful evening and after such a lot of planning it came to an end. I invited my work colleague and friend Sharon to participate in the Tea rather than watch it from fb live. Hope she enjoyed her time on Platform 9 tea/4 and she went home with a goodie bag of treats and souvenirs.
This was the most expensive tea i have done in the 2 years i have been doing this project for fun. it came in at the cost of WAIT FOR IT!  £356.30 
The cost of food was low compared to the Props, Teaware and other  items that made this whole Tea what it was. Of course i have the props and plushies to keep for another time. Some i will sell on the things i do not need to keep. The rest will stay for the return to Hogwarts one day.
  My Platform 9 Tea/4 Harry Potter theme Afternoon Tea – behind the scenes So my Harry Potter themed  Afternoon Tea  has come and gone. The most immersive and most expensive Tea i have done to date.

What Does Early Retirement Feel Like? The Positives And Negatives Of Not Working For A Living
Financial independence and retirement are used interchangeably, but there are some subtle differences. Financial independence is usually applicable to people across their entire lifespan. Those who cashed out $5 million dollars worth of Facebook stock at the age of 30 are financially independent just like those who saved $5 million in their retirement funds by the age of 65.
Retirement, on the other hand, is a term often used to describe someone in the last quarter of their lives e.g. ages 65 and up. This is why some folks get so hot and bothered if you aren’t in the upper ages but say you are retired. They don’t think you deserve retirement because you’re not old enough! If you don’t want unwanted attention as an early retiree, just say you are unemployed, on sabbatical, or an entrepreneur.
The reality is all of us would rather be financially independent earlier, so we have more time to enjoy our wealth. When the director of admissions at UC Berkeley asked why I was applying so early (25), I told her it was because I knew what I wanted to do and felt it best to leverage an MBA degree sooner, for a longer period of time. Little did I know I’d be done 10 years later.
Although I’m no longer considered an early retiree due to the endless hours it takes being a full-time dad and maintaining this website, I did have at least one year of early retirement life after 2012 where I was completely carefree. For those curious about what early retirement feels like, I’m going to highlight all the positives and negatives I can think of since leaving the workforce in 2012.
The Positives Of Early Retirement
* No longer having to commute in traffic feels like heaven. It’s funny that not riding the bus was the first positive that came to mind as opposed to workplace politics, stress, or more common answers. I used to leave the house around 7:20am every morning to catch the 7:23am bus around the corner. Despite my punctuality, the bus would either not arrive on time or be so full of people I’d have to walk another 5 blocks just to get on. Now when I see folks crammed in buses I can’t help but smile.
* Running errands is easy. I do all my errands around 10:45am or 2:30pm, because that is when most people are still at work. There’s no traffic or lines at the store during these hours and I’m much more efficient in getting things done. I continue to wonder why everybody wants to come to work at 8am and leave at 5pm. It took me 1.5 hours to drive 20 miles to pick up my parents at Oakland Airport due to traffic the other month. It only takes 35 minutes during off peak hours. Come into work earlier and leave a little earlier. Your stress level will go way down.
* Lots of free entertainment. There is an incredible amount of free entertainment during the week. Part of it is because organizations want to show their community support and free access on weekdays provides the lowest amount of damage to their bottom lines. Museums that cost $15-$20 to enter are usually free at least once a month. There are also free cooking classes by Williams Sonoma, free interior design parties by AirBnb, free rock climbing lessons by REI, and so on. There are always free music festivals at various public parks as well here in SF.
* You learn to become more self-sufficient. When I was busy working, I didn’t have time to figure out how to fix the leaky toilet. I would call the plumber and pay him $150-$250 at a time. Nowadays, I simply search on YouTube for a home maintenance tutorial and voila! Call me handyman Sam. If I can’t fix something I’ll chat up the local hardware store attendee and see if he can tell me what’s wrong. Having a smartphone to videotape the issues helps tremendously. Learning how to do things myself has also saved me a lot of time and money on rental property maintenance.
* Better nightlife. Because I used to start work by 7:30am every morning for the past 10 years, I was tired by 10pm. I just wanted to stay in and watch some TV after work. Now I’m always down to go out for dinner or drinks with friends during the weekdays. I’ve attended multiple events that last until 11pm and am ecstatic to not have to go to work the next day.
* Better friendships. I spend more time cultivating my offline relationships now that I don’t work. Those thin relationships one has on Facebook become stronger as you actually send them personal messages to see what’s up and hang out. The more you go out, the more friends you’ll meet. This is especially helpful for single folks. Social integration is vital for happiness.
* Better family relationships. I spend much more time speaking to and visiting my family now that I have more time. Spending more time with family is probably the most rewarding part about retirement. The younger you are, the more you appreciate it because you likely have more family still around. While I was working, literally months would go by where I didn’t interact with my parents because I was too busy.
* More comprehensive posts. Good posts can take a long time to write. But with so much more time now, I can afford to write meatier content that can help more folks. Meatier content also tends to do better in the search engines, bringing in more traffic, and more revenue. In the past, I’d write 750 word posts. Now I’m able to spend more time researching to produce posts that are double in length on average.
* More purpose in life. Most people I know don’t believe their purpose in life is to do whatever they do at their jobs. Plenty of folks start getting depressed when they talk about spending all their time at a job that doesn’t really make a positive impact. They see a job as a stepping stone for something greater and can’t wait to get out. Once you no longer have to work for a living, you hone in on exactly what you want to do that provides meaning.
* In better shape. Without having to sit in a chair for hours at a time, you’ll naturally burn more calories being more active. At 5’10”, I used to struggle maintaining a weight of ~165 lbs, now it requires less effort because I now play tennis, bike, walk, or hike at least three times a week compared to just once or twice a week while working. Being in better shape feels great. It might even extend your life, who knows!
* You can always keep busy. One of the biggest fears working people have before retirement is figuring out what they are going to do with all their free time. I worried how I was going to go from working 70 hours a week to just writing for 20 hours a week and playing sports in the afternoon. If you have a hobby you are passionate about, you don’t have to worry about not being able to fill the void in retirement. There is an endless amount of things to do.
* No fear of getting fired. No employee is ever safe in this hyper competitive world. You could be a star performer, but if your new boss hates you for whatever reason, you’re done. I used to worry about whether I’d be called into the HR’s office due to a recession, underperformance, complaint, error on my expense report, etc. Now there is no worry.
* A more positive disposition. Do you know that smile you get after carving down a black diamond or riding a jet ski over some waves? You will catch yourself smiling without even knowing because people will randomly smile back at you because you’re smiling at them. Smiling when you don’t even know it is probably the #1 outward signal for true happiness.
* The ability to be present with your kids. Our baby boy is the most precious thing in the world and has crystalized the value of early retirement. Before our son was born, it was nice to travel, sleep in, play sports, and write. But now, I’m excited each morning to give my son a hug and play with him for hours. Every day we thank our lucky stars that we get to spend the critical first five years of his life raising him before kindergarten. They grow up so fast!
The Negatives Of Early Retirement
* Become more impatient with delays and waste. Traffic and long lunch lines used to annoy me, but now they really annoy me because I hardly ever experience them anymore. I get annoyed with myself for going anywhere during peak rush hour. I really try not to meet anybody if I have to commute during the hours of 7am-10am and 4pm-7pm. I have to remind myself when it’s bumper to bumper thank goodness I no longer have to deal with such jams on a regular basis. 
* Gets lonely sometimes. While your friends and acquaintances are busy working, you’re sometimes busy doing nothing. If you don’t have a partner or family, then you might end up having breakfast, lunch, and dinner alone. I’ve built a small network of work-from-home, unemployed, or work at night friends to play tennis and hang out with. I’m trying to meet more people through a softball meetup that I’ve joined, but I haven’t met anybody I’d like to hang out with so far. It’s easy to feel disconnected if you’re always working from home.
* Easy to get lazy. Before my son was born, I found myself taking hour long naps after lunch, watching too much sports on TV, and chilling in the hot tub for hours. It takes a lot more discipline once you’ve retired to push yourself to do something meaningful because nobody is telling you what to do.
* Potentially less money. This one is obvious, but maybe not. You only voluntarily retire and stay retired if you have enough money to support your desired lifestyle. It’s a different situation if you are forced into retirement. It did sting a little bit to no longer have a healthy W2 income the first six months. However, just like how we adapt quickly to a nice bonus or raise, we also adapt quickly to a loss of income. The fear of running out of money in retirement is overblown.
* Vacations aren’t as exciting anymore. I used to love taking five to six weeks of vacation every year. If my old job could grant 10 weeks of vacation a year, I would have stayed on for at least another five years. Now that we can go on vacation 365 days a year, it’s just not that exciting anymore. We did travel for 6-8 weeks between 2012 – 2016, but by the end of 2016 we were completely traveled out. All the churches in Europe started looking the same.
Other Observations After Retirement
* Spend less time on social media. I spend probably 50% less time on Twitter than when I was working. Perhaps it’s because Twitter was a great way to pass the time during commutes or in between meetings. I also continue to spend very little time on Facebook except for my tennis team group page.
* Know a lot of unemployed people. No matter what time during the day I go out between Monday and Friday, there are tons of people out on the street or hanging out at the tennis courts. When you’re working, you think everybody is holed up in an office building and only comes out during lunch or when the clock strikes 5pm. In reality, plenty of people are unemployed or have flexible work schedules.
* Discover so many different ways to live. When I was working I just figured most people just had a normal 8am – 5pm day job. But during my time away from work I’ve met dog walkers, nannies, professional athletes, teachers during summer vacations, government employees who retired early with great pensions, bartenders, strippers, bouncers, tennis teachers, coffee shop owners, small business owners, and plenty of online entrepreneurs who enjoy a lot of freedom during the day. Related: Abolish Welfare Mentality: A Janitor Makes $271,000 A Year
* No desire to play golf. The cliché is that once guys retire we end up playing golf all day. I thought I would love to play at least once a week with all my free time, but instead, I found the game to be absolutely boring when I had to play it alone or with strangers. Further, the game takes way too long.
* Feel inspired by older workers. Every time I go grocery shopping, I bump into cashiers and baggers who are over 60 years old. They probably only make around $13 an hour. Their hard work inspires me to not take things for granted and keep this site going. Everybody starts off with different opportunities in life. We’ve got to make the most of what we’ve got.
* Just want to feel useful. If I don’t feel useful to someone, I feel like a loser. Hence, I try and stay busy writing online, volunteering as a foster kid mentor, doing work around the house, and coaching high school tennis while I’m not taking care of my baby boy. Retirement takes away that good feeling of having someone depending on you for guidance.
* Constantly wonder what else is there in life. When I was busy working, I didn’t have much time left to think about philosophy. With so much more free time I sometimes think, is this all there is to life? Starting Financial Samurai has given me a strong sense of purpose. I recommend all retirees start their own site as well to find their tribe online.
* It gets harder to stay retired over time. The first six months of retirement were full of excitement, fear, and joy. As time went on, I adapted to my newfound freedom by creating a routine that best suited my desires. Once I mastered my routine life got incredibly easy. When life gets easy, life also begins to get boring. With such a strong economy since 2012, I couldn’t help be do some consulting with several fintech companies and see if I could build Financial Samurai into something larger. See: Staying Retired Is Impossible Once You Retire Early
* You need much less money than you think to be happy. My biggest surprise since leaving my day job is realizing how much less I need to be happy by about 30% – 50%. One of the reasons is that once you’re retired, you no longer have to save for retirement. It feels foreign to spend 100% of your retirement income or passive income, but that’s what you get to do if you truly have enough. Further, you are so much happier in retirement that you don’t need to spend a lot of money to make you happy.
Early Retirement Is So Worth It
There are studies that show death comes quicker after retirement due to a lack of purpose. With the internet and so much good we can do once we have our free time back, I can’t see how anybody would ever feel permanently lost in retirement. Try volunteering at a charity or mentoring a child if you start feeling aimless. Everybody could use a helping hand.
Retiring early is a blessing because our bodies still allow us to climb the steepest Mayan steps and start the most daunting businesses when we still have the energy. Hopefully this post gives you some inspiration to get up a little earlier, save more money, and take calculated risks to retire early as well. The feeling of being able to do whatever you want is priceless.

Transcribed Interview: Family History
I decided to interview my grandma. She has always been a storyteller and I know a lot about my family’s history already, but I wanted to dig deeper and create a written record of her knowledge. My grandma is a poet, a photographer, and an active member in her community. For work she farmed for most of her life, and was also a janitor for her local school district, and a mother of three boys, as well as many foster kids. I would like to make this paper into a written record of her stories.
ME: Yea I was supposed to come up with questions, but I didn't.
GMA: Oh well just go by that.
ME: I guess I kind of wanted to know more about the dairy industry, and what it was like being a part of that.
GMA: You want when I was born, my age?
ME: I guess I want to start on how we got this farm.
GMA: Ok, well let's do the beginning so you got a got a little bit of trace, I was born in San Diego, March 17th, 1946, and when I was a year we moved to Newberg Oregon and had 15 dairy cows, and that would've been...1947, and then in 1948 we moved up to the lower farm, and share-farmed with my uncle and aunt, and we...
ME: Did they own the farm?
GMA: No, Walt Mavis did. We lived in the little house, and they milked about probably 35 cows by hand, no machines, probably for about the first 5 years and then they got milking machines, and we didn’t have power down there either.
ME: What year was that? How old were you?
GMA: 18 months old when we came to my uncles place in the Wynoochee, and they had no electricity for the first 2 years probably, and then they had a generator, and then they had two milking machines, and mom would have electricity in the house from a little wire that led from the milking barn to the house, and she always knew when dad was coming up for dinner because they cut the generator and it would be back to no electricity.
ME: So, you... when, did your family buy the farm?
GMA: yea, ok, when I was 9 in 1955, my mom told my dad (she was Depression Dust Bowl Oklahoman, my dad was Kansas/Colorado) that she wanted her own farm, she wanted to buy this farm, Parker and Margaret Askew's place and Dad said "Rachel we don’t have two dimes to rub together" and she said "well go to the federal land bank in Chehalis and get a loan" and he goes "you have to have money down" and the place cost $24,500 it was 185 acres, the barn was built in 1931 so it was, not old, and this house was built in the '20's....Anyway, so dad said "we don’t have two dimes to rub together" and she said "I have money" and he goes "well where might that be? it’s not in the bank." and she said "it’s in a rusty can on top the cupboards in the kitchen!"
ME: I think you've told me this one before!
GMA: yep on top the cupboard, and so he gets a big ladder (cuz those old cupboards were so tall) and it was behind all this other stuff in front, and she had saved... everything from babysitting’ the neighbors kid, from selling cream and vegetables, everything she made from when they got married in 1944, till 1955, 11 years… she had over $500 in that can! And she knew if she put it in the bank that my uncle and my dad would have spent it on something for my uncles place, and so they took that money down to the federal land bank and the man said "Rachel! you got way more than enough money here for a down on that place, you can go home and buy frank somethin’ rusty for your new farm!" and that’s how they got this farm, 185 acres,  and $24,500 which in ‘55 was a lot of money, but this house, when the homesteaders came to this farm, when the homesteaders came up this valley there was no road, it was called Chehalis county not grays harbor, and they thought if a road was ever put in it would be on the west side of the Wynoochee, well it was put on the eastside. So there were 8 or 9 swinging bridges that those farmers would carry their 80 lb. cans of milk across those swinging bridges to meet the milk truck and then the Askews’ built this big barn, its 80 some feet by 40 some big, it’s a gothic, and I can give you pictures, it was built in ‘31, and in ‘35 they brought this farm house with two teams of horses from across the river up the incline and set it on this basement and it’s not off a half an inch. And that was before they had power, that was in 1935 I think, or ‘37. So there was no power until 1955 we lived up here, we moved up here in 55, I’m sorry, in 1952 when we were still down at my uncles place the PUD told the farmers that if they would cut and skin and plant the cedar poles that they would bring the wire, and that’s when we got electricity in 1952. so we moved up here to the other place on December 20th, 1948, and then Christmas Eve of 1955, we moved the last batch of calves up the road to this farm, and she was having a lot of trouble walking and so much pain and mom took her to the emergency and she had appendicitis Christmas eve!  That’s when we got our last animals moved up to the farm. Then, I was raised here I learned to swim in the Wynoochee, but it was  just 7 days a week, 12-16 hours a day depending on time of year, ya know, the crops... and my dad, we had a big manure shed out there that he would haul all the manure from the barn and dump by hand with the wheelbarrow, and in the spring, he would unload it all by hand, into a manure wagon and spread it on the fields, and when I was I think a junior in high school, I musta been about 16, he got a John Deere tractor with a loader and he was able to unload it with the loader instead of doin’ it by pitchfork, it was amazing the work they did... I have pictures of that.
ME: What was it like being a girl?
GMA: we just all worked hard, there was no difference, us girls, worked as hard as the boys, we weren’t as strong as the boys physically, but I threw bales, drove hay truck, washed milkers, my sister washed the barn, and when she got married I had to do that… I ran baler, I never mowed hay much, dad always did that, but, I raked a lotta hay, we did pretty much everything the boys did, we just weren’t as physically strong, but, we were real respected there were never put downs, and then as your grandpa jerry and I got married, we moved to Alaska for ‘67-‘69 from Coffman Cove, Alaska and took over the farm again and then I ran the hay crews, and when we came back we always had girls on the crew, and boys, and everybody got along good, if there were any kind of put downs they got fired, I only fired one boy and that was because he was kept tormenting the other kids and fighting with ‘em so I told ‘em he just need to get his paycheck and go home... and the other kid I fired he just wasn’t pulling his weight, and he was staying with grandma and grandpa, he was so embarrassed! he begged me to hire him back and which I did that same afternoon, and then he worked, because he was too embarrassed to tell grandma! Fred was his name, but out of all the kids, and they wanted to work, the kids would be calling us, coming by, calling me on the phone, you know, wanting farm work, to work, make money.
ME: So, when was that around?
GMA: That would been in the 70's, cuz we came back in ‘69 and that’s when we took over the farm in the 70's and 80's and then we quit dairy farming in 1982, but we started switching to beef cattle and then we still put in bales of hay for alotta years. We still hired kids to work, and they were all wonderful. But the best help, the best workers we ever had was your dad, and your uncles. Jerrod, Kevin, Arnie, they were the best. Yep.
ME: What was it like working with Darigold? Was it a contract?
yea it was and we got paid if your milk was always clean and never, if you had dirty milk or ever got antibiotics in it or something you were degraded, and so you got lot less price and we always kept everything clean, and so we were grade A and we had a base that you, it was like shares I guess and you got paid really top dollar for that, and then if you had over that base then you got a little less, but we were always grad A dairy with Darigold and they were a fine outfit to sell for. We always milked with 3 milk buckets on the flat, you called it, cuz you always locked your cows in the stanchions, and you carried bucket from cow to cow. but, well in ‘73 we had to switch to a bulk milk tank, which was more sanitary, instead of cans. And then we were having to choose to go either milking parlor or pipeline and that’s when we decided to get outta business, and we got out when the price of dairy cattle were real high so we got out at a good time and then we started raising beef.
When you were raising beef were they just over there (across the river)?
We had em over here, and we had an old cow named Red. I went to Badgett’s, they had a big auction and we bought, mom and I did, 48 calves, raised em on the buckets, powdered milk, and that was the tame herd, and the one calf we named her red, she would moo in the spring and take the whole herd across the river, and in the fall she would come over here and moo at the gate and we would let her into the pastures. and when she dies, that’s when the rest of ‘em wouldn’t come back and that’s how i ended up with the wild cows...and they came back the first year or two but as their new calves came on, they just didn’t have this leadership of old Red, so that’s how we got all those wild cows across the river. They wouldn’t come over to the barn anymore.
ME: That’s crazy!
GMA: It was crazy. and we trapped 26 with Kevin and H&H meat Co. and so we trapped 26 in the round pen, and I think 15 didn’t get trapped. and there was originally 43 of ‘em... and so they started reproducing again and we trapped some more, and then the rest of ‘em...people hunted them because we couldn’t catch ‘em. pretty crazy.
ME: So people hunted them? Did you let them?
I let them they paid me cheap, I didn’t charge ‘em very much, and they would get over...like you would a elk. and it was work. and then we had 3 really crazy ones and I had a hunting party goin’ in because they kept going down to the neighbors, they didn’t want em with their cows cuz they were purebred Saler's and they didn’t want our cows, ya know, breeding their Saler show cows. And Sue called and said "call off your hunters we got the game department going in" and they got the last 3. and they were gone and I was so relieved, I mean the weight off my back… no more worries.
ME: I kind of wanted to know more about grandpa, when did you meet him?
GMA: Ok, I was workin’ in the restaurant, my first job was washin’ dishes in the smoke shop restaurant in Aberdeen and his sister in law was there as a waitress and she introduced him to me, and he kept asking me out and I didn’t want to, and then finally i went out with him and then we just started going fishing and he took me over to meet his grandparents and it was probably a 9 month friendship, nothing serious, I mean holding hands maybe, after 6 months! (laughs) I was kind of done on guys, I mean I was like snail slow… (laughs) And so finally he won me over and we got married on my 21st birthday on march 17th of ‘67, went to Alaska ‘til you know, ‘til your dad was born up there, and then we came back to farm. but he was in Vietnam, see he woulda been, oh gosh, I think he got outta Vietnam in '65 so... and he was in there what ‘63 to ‘65 he was in Vietnam, but he was only there 10 months, he wasn’t like today’s kids that go 3 and 4 times to Iraq or wherever, he was there for 10 months and then he came out. It messed him up, his mother said all three of her sons were never the same, one brother was in Cuba, his other brother Dave was in panama, and Jerry was in Vietnam and she said "I wish you could’ve known them before they went in the service because they were completely different human beings then when they came out" they were... um... never the same. and we had a good life here, it was ya know.... 7 days a week, 12-16 hours a day (laughs) pretty much depending on the season... I mean in winter you had a little more down time to relax but summer was just sun up to sun down. and then we took your dad and uncles when we quit dairy, we took em camping out to Sequim, did a road trip for three nights, and then um, I think it was 1985 we went to Yellowstone, so that’s basically the only trips we had in 16 years... And we did go to a few couple funerals in Yakima and two weddings overnight in Yakima and that’s pretty much it. (laughs)
ME: Wow, yea in class we are talking a lot about labor movements and stuff like that although you weren’t really wage earners I guess since you had property and stuff?
GMA: Yea oh gosh when we started, it mighta been $7 for a hundred pounds, and when we quit it I think in the spring in 82 we were up to 12$ per hundred pounds... and I don’t know what they get now I read somewhere in 2014 they were getting 18 per hundred pounds but their prices, to their prices today, it must be like 8x more, so what these farmers get today, comparison to what we got is... they have way more problems, way more cost than we had.
ME: What did you do when you were in Alaska?
GMA: Well he drove dump truck and logging truck, and we lived in a logging camp... and they only hired on the ability of the workers not what they were like as people, and we had some not very nice people in the beginning, and then they left after that first year, some of the more undesirable families or drinking people left the camp because it was not a law that you couldn’t drink in camp but they wanted to develop it as a family camp which they ended up with a really neat family camp but after the first year or two those people left, and then they started hiring relatives and friends of the people that stayed and they developed a really neat family logging camp. But we came back to farm, because grandpa Ziegler had made a deal with your grandpa Jerry so we moved back here to farm the place. we actually took it over in ‘69 when we moved back but legally we took it over in ’72, I think paper wise.
ME: So, you did dairy cows and then you did beef, and then I think you worked at the school?
GMA: To make extra money when times were really hard I picked daffodils at the daffodil farm, I worked seasonal at heather acres, planting chutes of heather in Elma, daffodils in Satsop, Leisha Creswell, my friend, we picked daffodils together, and we would drive over to Grayland, Westport, and weed cranberry bogs and that’s when you would string up these two foot wide strips of the bog and you just get on your knees very carefully go down in the bog pullin’ out weeds with a regular screwdriver or something, and your dad and uncles would go with us on weekends, sometimes her kids went with us on weekends to make extra money, and we peeled cascara bark, picked evergreen blackberries,  and in the 40's and 50's, Esse's berry shed would drive up the Wynoochee and they had wooden flats they would give us (and I did this from when I was 4 or 5 years old) and I always got to keep my money but  they would drive to each farm and pick up the flats of berries that the farm women had picked during the day and they would pay us in silver coins, because their paper money would fly around. and then, later in my teens, the neighbors were a buying station for fir cones and hemlock and spruce for Simpson timber, and we would go out and get fir cones that the squirrels and chipmunks were throwin' down, in bags, and then we would sell ‘em. and when your dad and uncles were little I was a buying station for Simpson for two years and they paid me to take in the sacks and you have to keep records of the elevation that the cones were got, because they replanted, and they would heat them in a facility and shake all the seeds out and then whatever elevation that batch was from they would go to that area in the mountains or flatlands and re-seed by air and that’s how they planted in those days. let’s see what else, I milked for the neighbors, I milked for Baylous's (your aunt Audrey and uncle Gary) I milked for them for about 10 months and when we sold our cows your grandpa jerry took over milking for em, it was a milking parlor. And then in '88 I had volunteered so much at the high school that the staff kept saying "why don’t you just get a job down here and make money?" and so, Bill, the superintendent called me on this really hot august day, it was in the 90's (Fahrenheit) and anyway I put in for janitor, teacher's aide we called em then, or cook (I got my food service license) and it was really hot and I ran  into the house and he goes "hey pat, yo its bill here, you still want a job down here at this place?" and i said "sure what’ve you got?" and he said "janitor" and I said "sure I can do that it’s just cleanin' up alotta... just like farming cleanin' up alotta messes and poop!" and he laughed and I said "when do I need to come down and train?" and he said " you better get down this afternoon school starts tomorrow" and that’s how I got hired in 1988, and there was no background check, no interview, no nothin’, just come on down! The janitor who I was taking his place, he was movin’ to California, gave me the job description, showed me the janitor closet the mop bucket in the bathrooms and said there you go, good luck! and then I thought I would just be there a couple years or til the boys graduated and then, I was really grateful for that job because grandpa passed away in '01 so i don’t know what I woulda done if i hadn’t of had something to fall back on. and I started out at 7 something an hour, and that was in '88, until the 60 days passed and then I got a raise to 8, and then I ended in 2012, on 16 something an hour which I thought was fabulous money. And all the benefits and retirement so I thought I was very fortunate.
ME: Weren’t you a lunch lady too?
GMA: No I was just the clean-up, I worked in the lunchroom with the kids, I monitored them and cleaned up, and I loved ‘em all and I was like a hurting kid magnet any kid that had a problem or was hurting just flocked to me, and ya know, or they'd be cryin, I don’t know why, I loved the kids, I loved the staff, they were neat people. Yea, I don’t miss the job, but I still miss the kids and staff.
ME: So you were kind of like a counselor?
GMA: oh yea, counselor, I was a teacher. "pick that up, i saw you do that!" I taught in my own way... "I saw you throw that garbage on the floor! I saw you spill that milk and not mop it up now clean up after yourself, didn’t your mother teach you anything!"(laughs) I loved ‘em.
ME: How did you experience the civil rights movement and women’s movements in the 60's? like how did that affect your life?
My parents were probably more democrat, because in the early times democrats weren’t as liberal as they are today, it’s gone way in the other direction, because in the beginning they helped the Depression, they helped the poor a lot, so they were probably democrats, but we never talked about it. and then when I was 16 is when they had the march on Montgomery, about Rosie ya know, and I was appalled, it made me sick to my stomach that a certain color of people couldn’t drink out the same fountain or use the bathroom, and I woulda been there marching, now I  was a northerner, north westerner, now if i had been raised in the deep south by southern people maybe I woulda had a different attitude I don’t know, hopefully not, but I woulda been marching with them if I could have. and then we had the free love hippie days, and I was really against Vietnam, I would not have gone I would have gone to Canada, no offense to my country but, I was very stubborn and hated war, and I thought "nobody is gonna make me kill people that I don’t think need killin!" and if they had attacked my family, I always said I could shoot ‘em or defend my own country here, but to  go  over there and stick my nose in some little  country like they were, I wouldn’t have done it I would’ve gone to Canada... and then my folks were fiercely patriotic because of WW2, it was a whole different scenario, because it was the war effort and it was the whole...all the countries. What else, I loved Kennedy, everybody loved Kennedy, he was cute and his kids were cute, and his wife was beautiful, ya know, and I never paid attention to if he was a good president or not I just thought he was really cute and his wife was beautiful and they had cute kids! (laughs)
ME: I was wondering if you knew much about grandma Ziegler during ww2 and like her childhood and growin' up in Oklahoma?
GMA: She was born in Fort Cobb, Oklahoma, very poor, they were share-croppers on farms that’s why she wanted her own farm someday, and I think there were 9 kids, same as my dad there were originally 9 I think, anyway she was born in Fort Cobb Oklahoma, she survived the dust bowl, Depression, it was during the Depression a dust storm, and she said she was laid in the root cellar, for like 10 days, and grandpa went clear into town, team and wagon, and got her some real, store bought pork and beans, and grape juice that she was askin’ for, and she said when he brought that home, she ate the beans and drank the grape juice and started gettin’ better, but a lot of people died from that, the dust, and when she was 16 they came out to California, and then, she picked a lot of vegetables and fruit to make money, very poor times, if you’ve ever read the book Grapes of Wrath that was her story, but she had a sister Jule, who married Slim Lians, he had a farm in Chino, California. And so, they had a place to stay, they didn’t have to stay in the migrant camps, like the other people did, and then they eventually just got jobs.... They were all called Oakies, horribly, a terrible put down. Anybody from South Dakota, North Dakota, Kansas, Texas, Missouri, Oklahoma, it didn’t matter, they were all considered Oakies and they were very put down, extremely looked down on, but all through those states they had signs that said "Come to Golden California!" "Thousands of jobs!" and when they got there, there weren’t any. There were no jobs. And if there were, the different farmers cheated them outta money, they were bad conditions, maybe 1 or 2 outhouses per hundreds of people. If you read the Grapes of Wrath, that’s probably the best story told of those times, because that author went to those camps and wrote that book. And then when the war broke out she went to work for solar aircraft, as a riveter, but she hated the noise so they transferred her into welding, and that’s where she met my dad, he was the supervisor, and he thought she was the cutest thing that ever walked, and he used to throw orange peelings at her, being a supervisor! He tried to get her attention, at lunch, and she didn’t want anything to do with him. And so finally she came around and went to have tea with him and they started dating. He was a welder also but he supervised and he said she was one of the best welders he'd ever seen down there at that plant, they worked for solar aircraft and consolidated, and they built warplanes. and then when the war was over, my uncle worked at the shipyards, my uncle Walt, and that’s when they went to Newberg and bought that little 15 acre place and mom and dad came to visit and Walt Mavis said "well, why don’t you guys move and take over this little place because we’re going to this other place called Wynoochee valley" and so in the spring of '48 we moved there to Newberg and in '48 we came to visit up here in Washington and they just fell in love with it so Walt Mavis said "well let’s get rid of the little farm and you guys can live in the little house, we'll co-farm this place" so that’s how we got up here. And dad was born in Harveyville, Kansas, your great grandpa Ziegler, he was born in 1906 and your great grandma was born in 1921. And he graduated high school at Colorado Springs in 1924.
ME: Did great grandma ever graduate high school?
GMA: No, she had to drop out because of their lack of money, of how many kids there were to feed she LOVED school, we have an award, I have it down at the museum, that she got a really nice certificate for having a hundred straight perfect spelling tests, and she loved school. When she was in 9th grade she had to quit to go help make money to give to the family, because they were so poor. And that’s as far as she went through school. All her life she had insecurity about not finishing high school and not graduating, and she was one of the most well read and educated people by just doing it on her own, she read everything. Very smart, she’s what kept this farm in such good shape and the bills paid, she was meticulous in her bill paying and record keeping... and so, it didn’t matter, but it mattered to her that she didn’t have a high school graduation diploma, always bothered her. And my dad was no good at the bookkeeping, he always did the income taxes, but she was really more educated than he was even though he graduated from high school, because she wanted to be. You can be anything you want!
When I look back upon my grandmother’s version of history, I see the world through her eyes and the eyes of her generation. And although my grandma only ever finished high school, and has barely left her town in Grays Harbor, she has a wealth of real world experience that informs her upon the social and economic problems that she and her parents faced throughout their lives. My grandma and great-grandma, although most likely would not describe themselves as feminists, proved to the world that they could be fiercely strong, smart, and autonomous in times where history assumes women weren’t. Without them, my family’s livelihood, our farm, may have been lost long ago. Though their hard work and talents may have gone unnoticed under the guise of a woman’s duty, I hope that these stories can shed light on my grandmothers’ unique and amazing stories sprung from the lives of ordinary people.

Early Friday morning I had breakfast at the airport while watching planes landing and taking off to different parts of the world. I called my dad just before boarding at the gate. I told him “I wish I could fly to a new country every weekend.” My dad laughed knowing that I genuinely meant it and reminded me that I also needed to work in order to do so. As I always say “Nothing beats the feeling of jetting off to the sky and heading to a new destination.” Whenever I sit on the plane above the clouds and look at the clear sky from the window – I know I will be fine. It will all be fine. The whole world is open to me, it’s up to me what I want to do and where I want to go. My mind is peaceful yet my heart beats from excitement at the same time.
I’m quite old fashioned sometimes so my essential travel accessories in the cabin bag are pen, notebook and music. I like to know exactly the route we fly in order to know the places we fly across and to take photos with specified locations. As we were heading to Geneva, Switzerland, the flight itself wasn’t too long – 1.5 hours to be exact. Usually it takes an hour to fly across the Alps when flying from London to the other side of Europe. We booked a package holiday with Expedia including flights and hotel. We only paid £80 per person for the extended weekend getaway in November 2015. Well, the trip itself turned out to be the only cheap purchase during the holiday. Just a quick reminder, everything in Switzerland is expensive…unless you receive your salary from there. 🙂
We arrived in Geneva at 10.50am and discovered at the airport Information Centre we would actually be staying in France. So the hotel I had booked along with the package holiday was located in France – just over the border. At first the lady had to convince me few times before I believed she knew what she was talking about but then I thought “Great, two flies at once!”. When visiting Geneva, every tourist gets a free travel card for the duration of their stay. For us though it wasn’t the case as we were not staying in Geneva.
http://www.geneva.info/transport/card/
So we bought a travel card to the hotel. It’s so confusing that the same bus goes from Switzerland to France but you pay a considerably different price of the ticket depending on the country. Anyway, we got to Park&Suites Elegance Gaillard but had to wait until 3pm to be able to check-in. We went out to explore the neighbourhood while waiting for 3 o’clock and soon discovered Annemasse wasn��t the best area in Eastern France. Later on one of my colleagues told me it’s considered as one of the most dangerous areas of France. Well, not sure if that was exaggerated but we were nearly robbed while entering the local supermarket. I only understood the guy thought we’re Americans but all turned out well in the end when the shop assistants got involved. I understood it wasn’t the first time the person tried to steal something from foreigners. I did get scared because he was huge – tall and very muscular. He was also clearly under the influence of either alcohol or drugs. We decided to only walk towards Geneva, not further to Annemasse from there on.
While my partner took a nap at the hotel, I was planning the daily activities. Later on that afternoon we discovered it’s better for us to walk across the border and take a tram from Thonex, Moillesulaz to Bel Air. That night Jet D’eau was under maintenance as we couldn’t see it. We visited Metro Shopping Cornavin and the Christmas market in Geneva. We bought a take-away dinner from Manor Geneve, a fashion chain equal to House of Fraser or Selfridges. It was cold after the sunset but we enjoyed some window shopping before heading back to the hotel. At first we wondered why everyone was staring at my winter boots…so many people in France actually stopped and stared at my shoes. It was so absurd we thought both of us had gone delusional simultaneously. When window shopping, we discovered very similar looking boots that cost up to €500 so it made sense the people staring at my boots thought I was actually wearing gold. Hahahaha I wish!!
On Saturday it was sunny but cold. I had a coffee (€1.50) at the hotel mixing it with soya chocolate milk bought from Manor. We headed out and bought daily ticket to the tram which costs €7.30 = 8 CHF. We finally saw the famous Jet D’eau fountain and the harbour of Lake Geneva.
We had a take-away lunch from Manor once again before taking the bus 8 to Saleve. There’s a cable car that takes you up to 1097 metres up the mountain Mont Saleve. I was extremely excited of course, considering I had just taken a cable car up to Borgo Maggiore in San Marino, a year before. Monte Titano is 739 metres above sea level so I was excited to go even higher. My partner is terrified of heights so he was mourning all the way there “I’m not going, I’m not going… You can go by yourself…” yet following my footsteps. I actually started getting butterflies in my stomach until we reached the area and realised it was closed temporarily. My partner laughed of relief while I was quite disappointed. However if it’s closed, then it’s meant to be. I believe everything happens for a reason and it just simply wasn’t meant to be for us to go up there. I looked at the highest peak and Oh Boy, it’s soooo steep!! I would have been scared on the lift. We took some photos before walking down to the bus stop.
That evening we walked in Carouge which is compared to Greenwich Village, London. There were different activities such as ice-skating and outdoor chess in the park. We walked a lot before jumping onto the tram where a refugee girl and her brother started singing and playing piano. She had a really nice strong voice and after signing the song they were begging for money. We stopped at Minor, a local supermarket, to buy some groceries and chocolate as a souvenir. My partner then cooked for me in the hotel apartment as we had our own kitchenette. He bought a kebab outside as it was only €9. The biggest reason for me not eating out was that it was extremely difficult to find anything gluten free as a take-away. Also we were trying to keep up with our budget and eating out for dinner would cost an average of £70 at the time.
On Sunday we made brunch ourselves at the hotel where I got my €1.50 coffee with soya chocolate milk. We went to Spar Supermarche to buy some things for home such as gluten free baguette, tea, spices, olives… After the check-out from the hotel we had time to walk around Jet D’eau and Cornavin. We also did some clothes shopping in Chicoree just outside the airport. Mistakenly I thought the winter jacket I bought wouldn’t count as extra luggage bu I ended up wearing two jackets and my partner nearly got into troubles while carrying my extra bag through the gate. I will never forget the look on his face like “This is the last time!” Understandably that time of the year and the weather circumstances, there was a lot of turbulence while landing back to Stansted that night however we got home safe and happy.
Thinking back to our trip to Geneva, it was cold and expensive, but it was also beautiful and peaceful. The image I had of the city in one of the richest countries in the world was most definitely affected by the poverty I witnessed on the streets. There were homeless people begging for money not only on every station but on the streets as well. Perhaps it was once again my naïve nature getting hit by the reality and ever deepening recession at the time. The trip however brought us closer together and we started planning more trips. We realised that even if it’s a weekend getaway, spending quality time with each other improved our every day life so much. Any type of travelling is worth it, whether it’s a day apart on a business trip or a two-week-holiday together far from anywhere else.
Tumblr media
Personal observations:
Just a quick update, 0.5 litres of water cost 5 CHF (equals to £3.90 or €4.30) and a sandwich cost 9 CHF (equals to £7 or €7.80) at the airport in Geneva.
A standard lunch excluding alcoholic drinks for two costs £35 and dinner costs £70. The prices vary according to restaurants, drinks, menu etc.
The nature in Switzerland is wonderful so if you have time, please explore the country and the mountains as far as you wish to. There is a variety of cities, villages, lakes and peaks of the Alps to explore. You can go skiing, hiking, horseback riding and canoeing in the best scenery possible.
Due to the location of Switzerland and its neighbouring countries, their official languages are German, Italian, French and Romansh. They also speak and understand English in most parts of the country. Latin language is used on coins and stamps.
Switzerland is often compared to or confused with Sweden however they have two completely different cultures. Switzerland is in Western-central Europe whereas Sweden is part of Scandinavia, Northern Europe.
I would recommend anyone to visit Switzerland – any part of it when you have a chance. There are also cultural differences in the areas that are close to the border of their neighbouring countries. They have naturally been influenced by the cultures close to them on the other side of the border. This brings out diversity not only in the languages and accents but in the culture as well.
Best regards,

Geneva, Switzerland Early Friday morning I had breakfast at the airport while watching planes landing and taking off to different parts of the world.
