MPM 6/14

This week, things are going to be a little different.

Starting with the sunshine.

It's back!

That means open windows, dirt between the toes and the smell of fresh mowed grass perfuming the air.

It will also mean daily doses of allergy medicine, the carpet cleaner on stand-by and the mop bucket moved to the kitchen.

I'm an optimist with life experience.

This week, at the farmer's market, I found beautiful salad mixes, spinach, bright orange carrots, thinned Walla Walla sweet onions and the last of the asparagus. We also ran into our old insurance agent, who "retired" from the insurance business and opened a coffee roasting shop. Right in our downtown area! If you are in the Longview/Kelso area, check them out at

ZOJO Coffee, 1335 14th Avenue, Longview. (Try the 14th Avenue Blend...fantastic!)
