This month’s cup has the simple clean lines that I like. I bought this on super sale in Home Goods but I almost think it was one of the cups that Starbucks had for sale last winter. It just seemed that since June, for many people, is summertime, it might be nice to have a […]
It’s been a heck of a month. It seems like all month, I’ve been running as fast as I can just to stay in place. There’s been so much going on. So, finally, here is the May Coffee Cup. It’s bright and cheery and I’ve been enjoying it all month. It’s just the right size […]
Today was one of those days eaten up with little things but satisfying in its own way. I slept late — that great, I slept. I actually closed my eyes and slept through the night. After this latest bout of insomnia that is so wonderful. Unfortunately, Hyperion was up at 5am with a call from […]

Haven’t had much time to think, let alone posts. But, my hubby found that absolutely wonderful knitting cartoon. You’ll find it Wondermark #491. I mean really, some men just don’t understand the need for knitting. My hubby thought I’d get a kick out of it because every trip we take, I spend more time trying […]
