June Coffee Share

Good morning, Everyone, and it is a beautiful almost summer morning on the south share of Long Island. The yard is bursting in colors and the birds chatter non-stop. It’s been a while since my last coffee share. I’ve missed the routine writing and reading my friends’ entries. Pour your brew. Let’s catch up. 

If we were having coffee together, I would report that my husband, Matt, and I traveled more than we ever had this spring. I loved it! We cruised the Rhine River on Viking Riverboat—a long-awaited trip. I was never interested in taking a big ship cruise among a population larger than my hometown. The riverboat carried less than 200 travelers and offered low key onboard relaxation, great food, and amazing daytime tours. I had never been on a vacation where all I had to do was pack and get myself and husband to the airport. Even though it rained every day, we were out about soaking in the history and beauty.

Within a few weeks of our return home, Matt and I traveled across the country to finally meet our new granddaughter in Bend, Oregon. It takes a full day to travel to and from Bend if the flight schedules cooperate—longer when there is a glitch. It was worth the trouble. I got to cuddle, smooch and fuss over the bundle of sweetness and cook—my daughter’s requested gift.

If we were having coffee together, I would announce that my blog will shift it’s focused a bit. I am concentrating on bringing journal writing to school and beyond. I developed presentations and workshops and am investigating into creating a course for individuals interested in developing a journaling practice. The prompts will be the subject for my blogs posts. 

Stay tuned.

Now that summer is just about here, I am curious as to what is happening in your world. Please share.

Great BIG bunches of thanks goes out to Natalie the Explorer who keeps the Weekend Coffee Share percolating.

Thanks a bunch for reading.
