Coffee, Conversation, and Christmas Cookies

It is the weekend, hallelujah! We’ve made it. Join me today for coffee, conversation, and Christmas cookies.

Despite another very busy week – continuing to make progress on the renovations in our basement and tying up the loose ends before my podcast is produced come January 1, 2022, we still had plenty of time for some Christmas fun.

Before Wednesday.

I need another cup of coffee just thinking about it.
