On Coffees

For much of the hot summer my drinks of choice at Brewed Awakenings have included iced vanilla lattes and the cappacino smoothie (so delicious...really closer to desert than anything!).

This morning there was a breeze, a slight chill and the feeling that fall creeping in. I ordered a skim white chocolate mocha; not even my hot coffee regular! But the first drink, feeling the warm coffee and milk slide down my throat was like a warm welcoming hug from an old friend.

Just the idea of hot lattes and mochas makes ending summer seem not quite so bad.

Countdown

The countdown to school is on. Here are the things that will occupy us until the week of August 22:

3. One more long weekend of fun with the Bickels at Treampealeou, WI
