Summer is flying by and in just a few weeks, teachers will be setting up their classrooms. Parents will take their kids back to school shopping and countingContinue reading “Previewing New Books in August!”

Cleaning House and Walking around the Mall!
The first week off of 2026 is going by quickly. I’ve visited Toastmasters clubs, gone swimming, and went to the gym. Compared to my Fall 2025 vacation, it feels a little bit lacking. However, I’m not labeling this vacation week a bust even though things could have been better. I made a trip to aContinue reading “Cleaning House and Walking around the Mall!”
A Look Ahead to Summer Reading!
Today’s blog will be taking a look ahead at some of the books I am planning to read for the Summer. It’s only two months away, even though this morning and tomorrow suggest otherwise. I have some good world culture and music-themed reads coming up, as well as a romance novel for late summer. ForContinue reading “A Look Ahead to Summer Reading!”
New Beginnings!
It’s always hard to say goodbye, and that includes the change of seasons. We had a summer dominated by heat and humidity, definitely the latter. After a wet spring, we dried up this summer and some places are reporting drought conditions. It’s shaping up to finish as our driest summer in a decade. But, givenContinue reading “New Beginnings!”
It’s Summer, but Back to School and Fall are Coming!
Last night at work, I began to notice signs of change. It’s still summer, but I’m seeing back-to-school displays up front. In the back of the store and going into the backroom, I discovered boxes Halloween candy and Fall treats. These will go in the seasonal aisle as summer progresses. I have yet to seeContinue reading “It’s Summer, but Back to School and Fall are Coming!”

Stylish Summer 2025 Vacation Report Card (so far)
So far, I’m four days into my Stylish Summer 2025 Vacation. Has it gone well? What could I have done better? I think it’s gone pretty well. Like the Summer of 2024, it’s been a scorcher. Unlike last year, my mood has greatly improved (even though it could have spiraled with the cool, wet endContinue reading “Stylish Summer 2025 Vacation Report Card (so far)”
How I’m Spending My Summer Vacation!
My plans changed Monday night. All set to go to Bible study, the forecast trended towards rain and thunderstorms (which never came), our study was virtual. Some of us who attend every other Monday got together and had a watch party. Gianna led the study and started it by reading a couple of verses inContinue reading “How I’m Spending My Summer Vacation!”
Having a Bagel at Cutie’s!
Yesterday, I spent the afternoon going down to the Driver’s License Center. I was there to renew my license and get a REAL ID. I’ll need one of these if I’m boarding a flight in the future. My driver’s license expires on my birthday, so I’m glad I got that taken care of. It wasContinue reading “Having a Bagel at Cutie’s!”
A Look Ahead to August
It’s time to look ahead to next month, but before I do I’ll give an update on how Monday night went. A few nights ago, I attended a Bible Study that the newest coffee shop in town, Cutie’s, held. They had been doing this for a little bit now and at the last few, theContinue reading “A Look Ahead to August”
