Summer

-
Summer is very different depending on where you are in the world. In Georgia it is way to hot to go hiking or to the lake. Most people do activities in early morning outside or wait until fall. I am working Summer City camp for kids and loving it. I also have family around a lot lately. I have had a full house. My yard has been used as a parking lot and my heart has LOVED everyone here. No one need say it, I know I am truly blessed. My kids like being here, their significant others like being here. Here is not a bad place to be. I am surrounded with love.

I finally was able to finish Crime and Punishment and as that was the longggggggggest book I have read in a long time, I can say,, YEAH!! happy to be done. Now reading new ones. I love to read. If someone would ask me if I was reading over summer, id yell out YES!!! I am in love with literature. Good thing I am an English major eh?

I  love working with the kids at camp also. I am so lucky to have gotten this job. It showed me again I need to shut up and listen to what God is telling me. I love teaching these kids. I teach them Spanish, French, Reading, crafts, games, songs and many other things. They teach me new items also. Its a win win for them and for me.

What are you doing for summer? Are you traveling,reading, exploring the outdoors? Are you doing anything you do not normally do? I hope you are enjoying yourself in whatever you choose to do and I hope you are blessed with family around you as I am. Life might have its issues, but being a mom is not one of them. I love being surrounded by family :D

Happy Official Summer to you all!!

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
