I’ve never been a big Halloween fan. My parents didn’t let us celebrate for religious reasons, but I did let my kids celebrate.

Coffee and Cars: 23 October 2021
The Hubs is a total car guy. Whenever he talks to me about them, I get the same glazed over look in my eyes that he gets when I talk to him about photography. Truth be told, I like looking at old cars, I even like riding in the car when he races, but I do not like discussing them.

I follow one of our local coffee shops, Tamp and Grind, on Instagram and saw that they were hosting Coffee and Cars this weekend, so I sent The Hubs…

Week 1: Peloton
I’ve had my Peloton Bike+ for a week now and I honestly believe I’ve found something I can stick with. In fact, I look forward to the end of the work day, so I can come home, feed and walk the dogs, then get on my bike. It’s intense. It’s therapeutic. It’s relaxing. All the things that I enjoyed about running without worrying about varying temperatures or inclement weather. I wasn’t home when the Peloton arrived, but The Hubs said that everything went smoothly. The delivery team put the bike together outside and then moved it upstairs, exactly where I told The Hubs I wanted it placed. I ended…

Mine was nice. Peaceful. The Hubs and I went downtown to the Cars and Coffee get together. It’s basically a chance for the community to get together and talk cars. Vendors and musicians also attend. I used it as a chance to step out of my comfort zone and take pictures of cars —…
