Coffee For All!!!
Most of you know that I am a lover of tea. But I also love my coffee. Funny how that habit never formed until I was in my 40's....but form it did and I am always up for the occasional cup. My morning usually starts with a cup in bed while I check my emails, comments and Facebook. Probably not the best idea to have a white duvet on the bed but I do and so far it has survived with only a couple little tan spots appearing on it over time. I am the most careful of coffee drinkers, I … [Read more...]

Rogue Comments
One of the bonuses of having a blog is getting to read comments and as you know I am all about the comments!!! I have a really great spam filter that catches most of the non-legitimate comments and I am VERY grateful to have that as the spam folder fills up fairly fast. If I had to wade through all those and subject the rest of my readers to those I would probably cry. But every now and then when I go to check and make sure that some of your valuable comments did not slip into the spam … [Read more...]
