Coffee Cat and I begin our Saturdays together

And what a fine beginning it is!

The house is quiet -- save for singing birds -- and I can think. Important for a writer, that thinking thing ...

I treasure silence and having uncluttered thoughts as only a middle school teacher can!

The time on the screen lets you know that I am a morning person.

Even on Saturdays.

So in a couple of hours, Coffee Cat will be all cleaned up and riding in my purse. We'll head to church for coffee with my prayer pals, and then on to Starbucks to meet with my musical friend, Teri.

Because time with favorite people is also a treasure.

House chores are also waiting -- and weed pulling too -- but isn't it delightful to squeeze in those enjoyable moments?
