Sunday Coffee – Favorite Photos of July
My photos for July are going to look quite different since I spent most of the month in Wisconsin! But here they are – and as always, these are taken by me with no filters on them. I’m not a … Continue reading
Sunday Coffee – Chaos and Celebrations
The last week and a half have been a bit nuts. Some good things, some less good, but lots of stuff happening both here and at home in SA. I needed a little catch-up post (one which has absolutely nothing … Continue reading

Sunday Coffee – Favorite Photos of May
Last month, I lamented how difficult it was to get a good spread of photos while in quarantine. I entered May determined to see more. Consequently, I had a lot more photos to sift through to choose my favorite dozen, … Continue reading
Sunday Coffee – Hail the Graduate
Fun little family history: My mom was born in 1957, and she graduated high school in 1975. I was born in 1979, and graduated high school in 1997. My middle son, Ambrose, was born in 2002, and he’s graduating in … Continue reading
Sunday Coffee – Life Without the Library
Every Saturday, I log into my feed-reader to find hundreds of new entries. My library system uses Wowbrary, an RSS feed for newly-ordered books, which updates weekly. I don’t subscribe to the whole of the SAPL system’s new books – … Continue reading
