Eats and Runs

Happy Spring, everyone. I wonder if Spring is going to stick around for a couple of weeks this time…. we had a taste of spring last weekend and then we had snow and ice on Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.

Spring Anyone?

I broke up with winter a couple of weeks ago…. It is April 5th and I think winter possibly just got the memo that we are done with each other… at least for this year.

I have been drinking tea all afternoon and I was so thankful to have a bunch of Chicken Tortilla soup on the stove for lunch today.

A Sun Rise Walk

Happy Monday night, everyone. I have said it before – but I always feel like I have accomplished something on Monday nights. I have gotten up early (5:25 AM most mornings) and commuted to work, worked a day and gotten home. I do not make a habit of wishing away my work week (because then…… Continue reading A Sun Rise Walk
