Sunday Stories: Hoppy Easter

-

 


Today is Easter. It is the day he has risen. It is also the day I sliced my finger, woke up grumpy, and just want to curl up and cry. Somedays are like that. Some days hurt more than others, but we push on because we must and we make the most out of it.

I have dinner in the crockpot. We always do ham with sweet potatoes and carrots. You just put them in and then pour syrup on them. We do it every easter. Devilled eggs are in the fridge and sadly we are past the time when the easter bunner visits us. 

It is the beginning of the hot season in Ga. Today it will reach 80, but the end of the week 85. Spring is a very fickle pickle season. It comes in and goes out in what seems like a moment. We keep sneezing so we know spring is still around. 

Easter is a very religious holiday and I have noticed over the years it is less about him and more about the world and what is happening in it. He has risen from the dead and we are all saying, well okay. The miracle diminished over the years and what won over is easter candy, easter bunnies, and filling our kids full of sugar. 

This photo above was taken in 2014. It took me a few hours to even find it on my hard drive. It was a time I took a sheet outside, I made some hardboiled eggs, I went out back and snapped the photo. Trying to capture Easter in a way that reminds me to still enjoy easter. This basket is truly one of my favorites. I may keep it down out of the attic this year it is so cute.

I hope today finds you in awe of the miracle, but if it now your jam then I pray you have a great day, holiday, meal with family, or whatever you decide to do. It is a three day weekend for me as we have off Good Friday. Good indeed! 

May your eggs be yummy, my your family be blessed by coming together and being safe, may your chocolate not melt, and may you always notice the miracles around you and rejoice in them. For it was a very long time ago that he rose, but he rose from the dead. Now that is something to rejoice in.

Happy Easter to you all friends,

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
