Bonjour again and le fin

-
French class 1 is over. I received in the mail today some great post cards and presents and a huge lovely map of Paris, which I plan on framing. I woke early with a bad migraine,took meds,went back to bed till my French final. I went and took it and thought I tanked,but turns out 85.5 on it,,which for me in this class is huge. I end the semester with two B's ,which again for me,,not good, usually one B
and an A, but my other class, I was lucky to not fall asleep. My French prof tho was amazing. She kept us moving,interacting,speaking and learning. Im sad for fall semester I am not taking French II, it will sadly have to wait for spring term. I enjoy leaning and hope now that I can parle une peu francais that once again I could revisit France. Ive been to Paris, so maybe this time meet my new French friend in her home town of Morbihan.

Im looking forward to a few weeks off from school. We start back up in 3rd week of August. I hope to finish my book and get ready for Market im working in October. I also have high hopes of catching up on housework and possible doing some writing. Hoping to make the writers meeting this weekend and get some more photos up in a cafe for sale :D

Summer here in Georgia has been good. I love having 8 week classes instead of 16 weeks. Sometimes those last 4 or so seem to dragggggg out. I know in the long wrong having my degree will so be worth it. In the meantime im applying for jobs all over with no luck and hoping congress carries over unemplyment in Dec to Jan and onward. More stress in life I just dont need.

So what things have you done this summer? Did you treat the kids to a pool day and ice cream? Have you done any travelling? I need to live through you all, I just go to school. hehehehe Ive been dealing with my ex father in law still in a long term hospital place. He seems to be having more bad mental days then good. One day he is 94 ,,next 73, *which he really is*, then the next day 63 and hearing things. Please,,if you pray , keep us in your prayers. I love him like I would a dad. Since I never had one,he is it!! Hate seeing him like this and he knows he isnt right and gets so frustrated.

Well we will end on a happy note... Two B's..summer term done and after a bad wicked migraine all day,, after bedrest and meds,,im alive and actually drank some water :) Ill take it!!

Hope to hear from you soon,,,Bonsoir!
Debbie

Sunday Stories, Crazy Love Coffee Shop

So Crazy Love Coffee in Roswell Georgia has been on my list for years to visit. This weekend I got to go. I bought my son and myself an iced coffee and giant blueberry muffins. This coffee was smooth. The service fast and friendly.  There was a considerable line; I was not in a line long. The staff hustled to get everyone's orders done. They asked what you wanted and listened. They recommended products based on what their customers were describing. They had books for sale, cards, bags, toys, all sorts of note cards, and cute stationary. This place did not disappoint.  I must have been the 20th person in this long line, but 15 min later, coffee in hand, I was on my way out the door to give my kiddo his coffee. I had an iced coffee and the flavor of the coffee was smooth and sweet and tingled the tastebuds. The atmosphere was relaxed. The light was on point in this big area. See those bags in the photo, I had to fight the urge to get one.  Crazy Love coffee is family oriented, perfec

Sunday Stories: Time Spent Well.

Us At Cathedral Coffee This is the coffee shop   Yesterday was a day well spent. We drove thirty miles to a local church, with a coffee house in it. The coffee tasted so smooth and wonderful dancing on my tongue. I was told about the breakfast biscuits that were almost sold out. We, my husband and I each ordered one. We got the last two biscuits, and they did not disappoint and were only $4 each, so for  $12, we got a great breakfast and coffee. We spent an hour sitting, sipping, eating and chatting. It was a great slow start to what was quickly going to become a busy day. Thank you  Cathedral Coffee  for fueling our day.  Secondly, we hit a local convention. Spend $7 to get in and $7 on things we bought. It was full of artists we love, with jewelry and hand-drawn art. We spent maybe an hour at this convention, which was local, and we walked through it a few times. Since we are not going to Dragoncon this year, this little convention was perfect. Another hour was well spent.  After thi

Third Place on a Sunday

  If you have been following me for a while, you know I am in love with the third-place concept. Don't know what it is? Let me fill you in. You need a home place, a workplace, and a third place within the community where you can go and chat, read, have a beverage, and feel safe. For me that is always a coffee house. A few years ago I went around to some of Georgia's coffee houses and I wrote about them. Always seems to happen in the Summer. Seems the perfect time to travel and see the coffee houses of Georgia.  This summer we start with Labrador Coffee House in Kennesaw Ga. This cute house is turned into a two-story coffee house. The smell of intoxicating coffee welcomes you inside, but have a poochie? No problem, there are bowls of water all over the porch for puppy doggies. They are welcome on the porch, but not in the cafe. Gotta keep that fur out of our food you know. :)  The Labrador is dog friendly. The doggies are welcome everywhere else. The tiny fire hydrant to sniff a
