Not Quite Spring Sunday Coffee Share

A Cup of Coffee and a Conversation

My bottomless filtered coffee from Baka Baka cafe in Iceland

If we were having coffee I would tell you…today I am making chili and cornbread for Soup Sunday! It is breakfast day with a threat of snow. I am a winter girl and I know it is still winter (until Thursday!) but I am done with snow. Once it gets over 70 degrees it is time for the snow to go away IMO.

The omelet was good today and the hashbrowns were ok. Nice big cups of coffee and ice water too. It is a lovely ritual. We went a little later, at my request, but I was still up early. Oh well…

If we were having coffee, I would tell you… Chris and I went to the Art Institute to see the new installation of Myth and Marble on Friday. It was a member preview event. We also attended a lecture featuring the exhibit curator, which was eye-opening and entertaining. It is always fun to hear someone speak about something they love so much.

After the lecture, we walked to the theater district and had linner (lunch/dinner) at The Dearborn across from Dailey Plaza. I was inspired to order cloth napkins like theirs for at home! St Patrick’s Day is a big deal in Chicago and we saw people wearing green and all the drink and food specials for the holiday.

We take the train into the city and the conductor held the train for 1 minute so we could make the 4:22pm back!! The morning train was on time which was surprising.

It was such a great day with beautiful weather. We walked around a bit after we ate.

I am attending another member preview at the end of the month for an artist date at the museum. I am looking forward to seeing Frida Kahlo’s art in person.

If we were having coffee I would tell you….I have a meeting with my Trio course people today! I am looking forward to being in conversation space with them. It has been such a wonderful 4 weeks! I am looking forward to the next session as well.

Here are some photos from this week:

If we were having coffee I would tell you…I attended a local Shut Up and Write event at a new-to-me coffee shop on Saturday. The group has a great vibe and they honor journaling and catching up on emails just as much as writing an essay or your novel. We write for 90 minutes and do an intention before and a check-in after. I plan to attend next week too! I am excited this group just may work. The food was awesome too. I don’t think I have eaten a more perfect biscuit than I have there.

If we were having coffee I would tell you…I held my full moon writing session yesterday. It was a small group but such fun! The April full moon is the pink moon! Details are coming soon about when the next session will be!

If we were having coffee I would tell you…my baby tomatoes are sprouting! I am already looking forward to that first tomato sandwich!

I would also tell you I am teaching my Unpublished to Published course starting on April 20th and you are invited! You can find the information here.

I would love to hear from you in the comments even if it is just to say HI or to ask a question!

I wish you a Happy Sunday full of delights! What is something delightful from your week?
