On the Painted Soul Tour - Coffee at Bambi's


Today was a blast! I arrived at Bambi's by Java Dave around 10am.

Bambi, the owner is a friend of mine and as excited as I was to do an event in her shop. Before she even poured a cup of Black Cherry Tea, I had sold two books!


While she took care of her customers, I had fun chatting with them. We shared some laughs and I sold more books. Some people I knew stopped in for a cup of java and some conversation.

Thank you a hundred times to Bambi for letting me hang out in her cute little coffee house for a few hours. I had a lot of fun! HUGS!

Happy Thanksgiving!


Twas the night before Thanksgiving and in my sleep.
Strange dreams in my mind, began to creep
Thanksgiving leftovers beckoned --- The dark meat and white,
But I fought the temptation with all of my might.

Tossing and turning with anticipation......
The thought of a snack became infatuation.....
So to the kitchen I did race, Flung open the door,
And gazed at the fridge full of goodies galore.
I gobbled up turkey and buttered potatoes,
Pickles and carrots, beans and tomatoes.

I felt myself swelling so plump and so round,
Till all of a sudden, I rose off the ground !!

I crashed through the ceiling. Floating into the sky....
With a mouthful l of pudding and a handful of pie,
But I managed to yell as I soared past the trees....................

HAPPY EATING TO ALL !!
PASS THE CRANBERRIES PLEASE !!
