This Sunday finds me a bit scattered and at loose ends. After dropping my husband at the airport very early *yawn* this morning (he’s off on a spur of the moment junket to our home in Florida), and driving home amidst the gloomy drizzle that has become our lot here for the past three days, I [...]

I’ve settled into summer quite nicely, dear friends, and summer has been so kind to us this week. The weather has been picture perfect, and I’ve enjoyed every minute of being outdoors. I’m having breakfast with the birds this morning, here on the back porch, as they raise their chorus of avian anthems to the day. [...]

Dear friends, I’ve been dawdling today- going for a leisurely walk in the park, relaxing in my easy chair with books and coffee, enjoying a late breakfast al fresco (don’t you love eating outdoors? it’s one of my favorite things to do!) But I have been reading this week - quite a lot, as a matter of [...]

Winter has been so reluctant to let go its grip this year, and I rose this morning to leaden skies and snow flurries dotting the air. But you needn’t fear, for the heat has been turned on, there’s (always!) fresh coffee brewing, and I’ve just dished up a ham and swiss cheese frittata that smells heavenly. Come in, [...]

Oh - hello there! You startled me! I didn’t expect anyone else to be awake in the wee hours of a Sunday morning. Did you, as I did, fall into the clutches of such a captivating book that you simply couldn’t close your eyes and sleep? That’s why I’m still awake, curled up in the [...]

Some things in American life are just sacred, aren’t they? Like lemonade stands, baseball games, Thanksgiving dinner, apple pie and…birthday cake! There happens to be one in my kitchen today - freshly homemade carrot cake, with smooth cream cheese frosting. I’m getting out my best china too, because, after all, birthdays are cause to celebrate. So [...]

I fear the Sunday Salon is running a bit late today. I’ve been in a rather domestic mood all morning (something that happens only rarely these days), busy pottering in the kitchen making brunch for us. When the Mushroom-Asparagus quiche comes out of the oven, perhaps your first bite with make up for my late [...]

How lovely of you to meet me here at First Cup, my favorite local coffee house. It seems we have the place to ourselves this morning - those sheets of freezing rain pouring from the sky must have kept everyone at home. Everyone except Amy, my favorite barista (who was thrilled to have The Sunday Salon gather here) - and you of [...]
