Splurge













A little thing can sometimes feel like a big splurge. Merrill and I had lunch in the Barnes & Noble Starbucks on Friday. Light streamed in through the huge windows, brightening the world. Merrill smiled and savored her Limes with Orange Jones Juice while we chatted and breathed in the smell of new books and the stronger smell of good coffee. My daily battles with manure, weeds, dishes and dust bunnies seem a peaceful, distant memory.

Anna and I went to the B&N Starbucks last night and got a berry crumble coffee cake and an apple pastry purse. They were delicious (although Audrey's coffee cake is better). I'm glad that you and Janey had a chance to enjoy some B&N recently,too.
