Today’s happiness was brought by food. Fresh zucchini, cucumbers, and poblano peppers from Sue’s garden… although I have to admit… the peppers make a tidge bit apprehensive. Persis braved “Peach-a-polooza” and gave me some super sweet, juicy peaches. Jeff topped of the bounty with cherry tomatoes, and

Today has been extra-special! I decided not to work too hard today. This week I’ve worked until 9:00pm or later every day (including Monday, which is technically my ‘day off’). When Amber came in at 1:00 this afternoon, I surprised her by telling her that she wasn’t

Anyone who knows me, knows I have two speeds. I’m either full throttle or dead stop. There’s nothing wrong with either one, other than one of them can have a tendency to wear a body out after awhile. Today I engaged dead stop. There wasn’t much of

According to Google the high temperature for today was 108°. No wonder everyone who came into the shop today told me it was HAWT out. Tonight’s dinner was made for a hot day. Grilled chicken cooked outside, fresh corn on the cob, Bruschetta with Mozzarella Fresca on

It’s Friday! That’s enough to make most people very happy. I hope you have a great weekend planned. Today I finished everything on my list of things to do. Getting everything checked off isn’t as hard it may seem. I limit the size of my list to

One of the perks of owning a small business open to the public is how much of the day is ruled by serendipity. Sure, you can plan your tasks, but you can’t predict who is going to come through your door during the course of the day.

August is ‘Happiness Challenge Month’ and has inspired me to begin posting again! The challenge is to post about something that makes you happy. Anything that made your day a little brighter, your mood a little lighter, or brought a smile to your face qualifies. It’s a
