Stress-FULL

Today was Stressfull, with a capital S and emphasis on Full.  It didn’t start out stressfully (not sure if that is a word, but let’s go with it), but it got stressfull very quickly when I opened the first bin of bagels (we store them in fermentation bins overnight) to see that someway, somehow, some […]

I had a dream last night that someone I know (or I knew in my dream, but I don’t know who are they are now), we going to be raising pigs and I was explaining to him that he needs to crop the ears….snip the tails…maybe castrate the pigs.  See Mom and Dad…4H has come […]

Granola and Peaches

This post has absolutely nothing to do with granola and peaches except that I am eating a bowl of granola and peaches and warm milk for breakfast as I type.  The warm milk point is not by choice…it’s just that here in Spain, boxed milk is the common way to purchase milk (and it’s the […]

Don’t want things to get to MUNDANE around here during the quarantine…gotta keep things […]

I Need A New Title

Should I just keep calling these posts Monday Morning Coffee Chat?  That’s what they are, but it seems repetitive!  Anyway, hello friends, random readers, Mom, Dad- nice that you’re all here!  I am writing this to you after going for a run and then I went to pick up bagels from the local bagel shop.  […]

Monday Morning Coffee Chat III

Good morning, friends! Another week later and here we are….time really flies doesn’t it?  TIme has always moved quickly for me, especially since opening the bakery back in January, but now…. nothing compares.  I think the feeling of time moving quickly is a good thing- it means you’re busy, doing things, have things to get […]

Good morning!  I am sort of liking this Monday morning blog thing I have been doing…well, let’s not jump the gun…it’s only day two and if history repeats itself, then in about a week my streak will end.  But! So far, so good!   Do you know what makes blogging first thing possible?  First, having nowhere […]
