Books on Main, A quaint, lovely bookstore with imagination and literary adventures, Fort Morgan, Colorado


My mom invited me for an adventure and she hit the nail on the head with a picture perfect blend of literature and beverages in Fort Morgan, Colorado! I enjoyed browsing the shelves while my mother read her book, while sipping a hot chamomile tea from the shop’s beverage board.

The curator of the shop was also very helpful and I purchased several books, including a Hungarian recipe booklet, which I thought was super exciting. As evidence by some of my previous posts on this blog, I am trying to expand my cooking and baking capabilities and the varieties of food I make (no one wants to eating boring food or sandwhiches all the time!)

Another refreshing surprise was that I was also able to get/find purchase local postcards, which are becoming harder and harder to find but especailly local postcards of the area are even more “rare”. There are also other handmade local items featured for sale in the book store as well, which is a treasure trove for any shopper, books, goodies, postcards and a hot beverage, a shoppers/visitors delight!

A very cool feature of the Bookstore on Main is they also feature a local Author, whom I know, Rebecca Victor (www.rebeccavictorbooks.com). She is the author of several childrens books.

I love the adventure with my mom and I had such a good time today at the shop!

Baby, it’s cold outside!


Scarves are an excellent way to stay warm and fashionable, especially when hand knitted! Check out my ebay for a nice selection of scarves to be worn or gifted! Happy Shopping (and yes, I can gift wrap upon request!)

Coffee and Ice Cream @ Figs Beanery & Creamery


A lovely day, sitting out on the veranda with a friend/brother and enjoying two of life’s greatest pleasures–coffee and ice cream.

I enjoyed trying something new–a Mayan Mocha…bursting with steaming flavors of mildly spicy chilis and robust brewed beans, it was a huge treat for me–mixing spices and flavors together that I had previously never had blended together. My brother enjoyed a regular latte and enjoyed the frothiness and flavor as well as he is Classic Cookie and Cream Ice Cream cone.

While the coffee and ice cream are superb, the conversation with my brother was amazing. We caught up on items, discussed hopes and dreams, laughed, told cheesy jokes (the only kind I know, of course) and spent several hours just having fun together in the comfortable outdoor seating. The Cafe boasted faux lawn under the table, which added a nice touch and color.

Adventures are always more fun with a friend and brother.

Live Music Duo-Music to my ears at Grits and Groceries, Belton/Due West South Carolina


An evening out with friends has proven to be quite lovely!

Live music, performed by a local duo, and great food at Grits and Groceries. Open for the live music outside of normal operating hours, the live event was quite entertaining and the sound quality was great way to have a lawn party with a small bonfire going .
