Remembering Duncan Macleod

Leave a comment

Bored out of my mind today as I stood in the front of the store, supposedly greeting customers and wishing them a farewell greeting as they leave the store.

A young man come in wearing a long grey and black sweater and all of the sudden I was thinking about “Duncan Macleod.”

Oh for anyone who hasn’t heard of Duncan Macleod from the TV show called, “The Highlander” that is where my thoughts sent me.

I had to blink again, because Adrian Paul Hewet had black hair and an English accent that would make you smile. Well, maybe just us (meaning me) females.

Oh well That was a Pleasant Smile….

Still Untangling…

2 Comments

Day four and I am still trying to untangle my yarn. I will never again start a new spool of yarn, without using all of the one I am working on, and NOT throwing it into a bag to be forgotten.

Yarn is for creating something new and Not for making a mess. It takes more time undoing what could have been prevented in the first place.

(taking a deep breath) Time to get back to my mess, because it will not get untangled by itself. I would really like to start on the new project I came up with, but that will have to wait until another time….

A Nice Walk….

Leave a comment

I surprised myself by walking 30 mintues today. I was singing and dancing as I listened to gospel in my headphones.

I believe once my tummy started yelling at me “feed me” and making a list what I could make?

The idea of cooking made me close my eyes. Breakfast doesn’t have to be eggs,  because food is food. So, as I started preparing a salad, and I couldn’t stop thinking how I will see a better me one day.

Walking and eating right as I start my day😊

Thinking about Coffee…

Taking a breath and clearing your head is a hard thing to do especially when you are thinking about coffee. One can not help, but Smile.

I don’t know why I didn’t take a course on “how to launch your blog in a weekend” before I actually started a blog. I have learned a lot and I am still in a “wow moment,” and now having second thoughts on which directions I should be going in.

My mind may be pulling me in so many directions right now and I know what I want to do and how to do them. I am just wondering how to pay for my new way of thinking.

Whoever said, “Starting something over was easy” they were right. It’s not starting that gets in the way, or  following through on  learning a new way of thinking, but paying for these new thoughts. Someone should teach how to pay for these new ideas…

I was onto something smart, but then another thought crossed my mind and once again coffee is taking over. It is way too hot for my regular. The thought of going to Starbucks is OUT of the questions. I really don’t feel like taking two buses to get there. Let’s see what I can look up….

How to Make Cold Brew Coffee

Enjoy a delicious cold brew coffee this summer, and save money by skipping the coffee shops. For the best glass, the recommended Cold Brew Coffee Ratio is explained, so you can choose to enjoy your…

I have been meaning to try my hand at making my own iced coffee, but the idea of me messing up my one and only cup of coffee. Well, I am only supposed to drink one cup, but it is the weekend and my first one off in two months. I believe I will enjoy two cups today.

One of the best coffee I have ever tasted is Kahlua Coffee. Peppermint is at the top of my list, but that only comes out during Christmas. Then again I wonder if I can order it online. We are in this new age world where one can do almost anything online…..

The original or vanilla Kahlua coffee is what I will be drinking in a few moments, but I am still thinking about drinking it cold. Think I will go on a little hunt to see what else I can find.

I did not realize there were so many to be made. I was supposed to add a few, but I wanted something I could make now and wasn’t thinking as I moved on to another possibility. I am giving up and going to try it my way and see what happens.

I will prepare it the way I normally do, only a little stronger, put it in the refrigerator, and hope for the best. It’s 9:37am EST…. I will complete this post in a few hours to add a pic and hopefully a good review of my creation…. 

I am not going to feel gently about spending a few hours working on another project and not giving this one half that amount of time. The problem I am having is, coffee!

9/7/2020 11:48am ~ I followed directions on how to make ice coffee and it was suggested to add sugar when the coffee was hot and the refrigerate (a day would be best). I tried this and I wish I had saved that site, because this wasn’t good. 

I don’t feel like making coffee now. I can’t believe I said that, but “No Coffee” today..

**A side note today is 9/9/2020 I couldn’t get my pictures to look like it does in my google doc, which is where I type my work, and wasn’t going to post this story. Then I realized I worked on it to be posted so it will be posted.

Today I will have a good cup of coffee…..

Virtual Cafe

Leave a comment

When you think about a coffee shop. You would be hoping to get in and out with a hot or cold drink in one hand and maybe something sweet in your other hand. You could be meeting a friend to catch up on all times or have a quick business meeting.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caribou_Coffee

Caribou Coffee Company is an American coffee company and coffeehouse chain. Caribou Coffee was founded in Edina, Minnesota, in 1992. As of May 2015, the company operates 603[2] locations worldwide.

Coffee shops offered other drinks besides coffee like flavor tea, or hot chocolate for those who don’t drink coffee. Whatever your reason for going to a coffee shop is totally up to you.

HOMEMADE SOUTHERN SWEET TEA

¡ Vegan Gluten free                                    ¡Homemade Southern Sweet Tea is the house wine of the south. This recipe comes out perfect every single time thanks to a simple tip.

That is a real coffee shop, but this is a virtual cafe. If you are like me you are probably trying to figure out what is a “Virtual Cafe”?  I am playing on words in order to have an area where I can talk about the books I have read.

Yes, a book review, but not like any other book reviews. I love the wonder of words from past books to books that just came out. There have been times when I have read a book twice and totally missed something the first time. A good book is sometimes worth reading one more time. The second time could be the best time.

I have read these books maybe twice if NOT more then that and I may have started in a cafe (before going to work) with  a cup of coffee as I was enjoying what I was reading.                                                                                  

A blog is another outlet to be creative and I believe everyone should be creative once in a while.  The best thing about my blog, you may not know what you are going to be reading, until I hit that send button, and I hope my words will be a good surprise?
