I know it’s almost midday, but my brain is just starting to function. Thanks for coming by! I’ve made the coffee extra strong this morning. Continue reading “Saturday Morning Coffee”

Saturday Morning Coffee: Treason & Baking & Things Going *SNICK* in the Night
I’m so glad you stopped by for a chat! Despite the continually rising temperature, I’m still making coffee – and Krystal calls me crazy for it. Of course I’m crazy for coffee – I’m addicted! “No,” she replies, “I mean your crazy for even thinking of the stuff in this weather.” Of course, if you’d rather tea or juice I can do that, too.

A Taste of Autumn
The prompt for this week is Taste, so where else would I go for inspiration but to my coveted apple pie? Continue reading “A Taste of Autumn”
Sunday Snapshots
What did I do this week?
Well . . .
I helped Krystal participate in the Greatest International Scavenger Hunt the Word has Ever Seen by
showing her idea of love
using cat tails as mustaches
no cats were harmed in the creation of this project
creating a portrait of Robert Downey, Jr. / Ironman out of salt & pepper
holding Death’s funeral
writing a short story with the letters of elemental abbreviations as found on the Periodic Table
taping an End of the World message
proving no man is an island
recreating a Roadrunner cartoon
in the style of a Sam Shepherd play
in the style of Michael Bay
throwing a conspiracy theorist party
making a trailer for a horror flick called X is for Xylophone
designing furniture from recycled materials found outside
playing croquet on the lawn of an historic site
while dressed as zombies
recreating a national landmark with the food in our pantry
There might have been a few things I missed.
However, since these actions were part of competition, I can’t show you any pictures . . . yet.
So, what can I show you?
My package arrived from Germany:
I made two more apple pies:
I just couldn’t let my leftover apples from the last ones go to waste, you know?
My submission for Three Line Thursday earned an Honorable Mention:
My plans changed for Saturday and I didn’t get Little Caesar’s pizza nor did I get a milkshake. But we did order pizza Friday night and – look! – there’s Wal-Mart brand Ginger Ale just like I claimed:

Sunday Snapshots
As you might remember, my folks visited this week.
Saturday
They arrived Saturday afternoon and wanted to go out to dinner.
Mom chose Red Robin (Yum!); so we piled into the van and away we went.
Halfway there I realized I was still in my work shirt.
Luckily, Red Robin is attached to the mall, and one of the stores had a sale.
Hooray for MST3K!
Sunday
On the way out the door for Sunday church, Mom realized that Dad and I dressed very similarly:
As we were close to the beach, we visited Fort Macon and Atlantic Beach between the morning and evening services.
First up, Fort Macon:
As I wandered around looking for unique architectural details, I noticed something about the springer.
Then, it was on to the beach!
And onto the beach, as it were.
That evening, we were back at church. What luck it was a fellowship night!
Monday
We went shopping for groceries to make apple pie.
Dad also cleaned our coffee pots. He did a good job, even if I did have to stop him from trying to take apart the Keurig.
Tuesday
We visited the Farmer’s Market and Tryon Palace
I made a Venison Roast, which I didn’t take a picture of; however, we did have apple pie and vanilla ice cream for desert:
Wednesday
Mom and Dad left Wednesday morning, but not before we ate breakfast at Baker’s Kitchen
Thursday – Saturday
Soon after they left, I developed all the symptoms of a simply wonderful summer cold.
So, I used the time to catch up on my TBR:

Sunday Snapshots
I cleaned this week; picture opportunities seldom presented themselves.
That said, here’s a glimpse of my non-cleaning activities:
Books:
I rediscovered my signed copy of Last Will by Bryn Greenwood.
Another package arrived, this one bearing The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents by Terry Pratchett.
Food:
This German coffee powered most activities this week.
This was the last piece of pie [with more of that German coffee].
Miscellany
I got a haircut for the first time in three months.
This is the “after” picture; I think I accidentally deleted the “before” picture.
In addition to cleaning, our church’s Vacation Bible School took up most evenings.
This was my view for a good hour – or more – each night.
I took part in the skit each night; here’s a glimpse of one of the scripts.
This decoration supposed to portray a lion.
I can’t help but see the Holy Grail surrounded by rays of light.
Obviously, the Grail contains coffee.
