Day 31 ~ March SOLSC   Get your coffee, pull up a chair, and let's chat.  I'm only on my first cup of coffee today.  You see, when I opened the cabinet to take out the coffee and filters to make the coffee, I noticed there weren't anymore filters (I have an old coffee maker … Continue reading Weekend Coffee Share – Day 31

Day 30 ~ March SOLSC I “borrowed” this form from Rita DiCarne who borrowed it Elizabeth Ellington who borrowed it from Fran McVeigh!  I've been waiting to write this since the first week of the challenge.   Since last March, I've been to Washington, D.C.

Day 29 ~ March SOLSC This week was a doozy.  That's the first word that came to mind while thinking about the week.  A second word would be exhausting.  But now that I'm home, in my bed, writing on my laptop, I'm thinking about what brought me joy today.

She … Continue reading A birthday & half birthday

Day 25 ~ March SOLSC Monday, how are you already here? It was just Friday yesterday, right? Where did Saturday run away too? And Sunday - just flew by quickly. So here we are, Monday again...

Day 24 ~ March SOLSC Coffee share inspiration from Ecletic Alli and Tammy's Reading/Writing Life...   Sit back and relax - Let's enjoy a cup of coffee.  I'm on my second cup this morning.  I had to settle for a regular mug to use.  While I was washing my favorite mug, it slipped out of my hand … Continue reading Weekend Coffee Share #sol19

Day 23 ~ March SOLSC I was thinking about what to write while driving home from a quick trip to Walgreens with Emma.  I feel like I've been having some trouble figuring out what to write.  Or haven't felt like any of my ideas are worthy of a post.  I should just start writing and … Continue reading My not so little sidekick
