The other day I had been wishing for hot chocolate and/or coffee at the library! And Monday, I found one that has a machine for both! I had a mokkacino, which I found out was a cafe mocha. So cool! 😅📚☕️

Pies are ready and all the prep! Looking forward to watching the Macy’s day parade in the morning after my daughter runs the local Turkey Trot 5k and making dinner later to eat and hang out with my family. So grateful for them.

Leftover homemade veggie today on this dreary Ohio day as we clean out the fridge to make room for Thanksgiving prepped foods tonight - pies, cranberry jello salad, homemade stuffing…

I’m out on this 50F sunny Sunday (won’t last) for errands and a nature fall walk!! Then, I’m planning on getting lunch, coffee, & working on putting together my long waiting poetry for new collections and editing them. This little one this morning said, “no, you can’t go without me!”

After thrifting, we ate at Choolah (I had Paneer!), stopped by B&N, and checked out Christmas trees and decor in a few areas/towns! 🎄😍
I’m getting in the spirit! Anyone else? ✨

It’s been a long week but it went fast and I survived. Here’s a #facefriday photo from last Friday because I didn’t have a chance to post! Thanks to all the discussion and interest this week on things in the writing and book world. 💛

On my site, I talk about working remotely for the last fifteen years. Oh, the places you’ll go … I never dreamed of this. But it’s been fun writing and editing and changing space, even with kids in tow.
Do you work remotely? Fave places? 👩🏻💻

First peppermint mocha with oatmilk of the season tonight at B&N while browsing (was yummy!). I love mysteries so I also grabbed this $5 Christmas mystery. Sounds so good!
Also, scoped out some books for holiday reading (many on my list to look for at the library).

Editing tonight at a place I’ve loved to do freelance work at for years - Panera. I work, have dinner & a break, then work further. It’s cozy with the fireplace on & I’m having their orange mint tea! Not an ad, just the truth!

Celebrated my middle daughter’s upcoming Wednesday birthday yesterday while my other daughter is home. We had homemade spice cake, vegetarian green chile chili & chicken soft tacos, and the girls and I made Halloween bracelets and watched some shows. It was bliss!

My youngest Addie is home from college for fall break (an extended weekend)! We went to hunt treasures & watch the sunset together last night & eat our faves. She’s doing well at school but nice to be back together & lots of hugs! Mom & nature therapy. 💛🌞🥰

Happy October, my favorite month! 🧡 I spent yesterday (the 1st) working on book PR & editing, going to a library and for a walk in the evening, and enjoying flowers from our garden beds at home. It was a gorgeous day (as is today, too)!

Last night, as part of my birthday present, I got to see the 50th anniversary showing of JAWS! It was fantastic. I saw it in an encore theater so there was surround sound and cool effects. So good!
