Looking through old journals I found some treasures from my time living at 

Pigeon Point Lighthouse 

Still my Dream 
Still my design 
Still my strawbale Octagon 
The home of my dreams!

Viva Dunnellon Coffee Company! Finally I have a cafe in which to sit and write in my Journal!

 For most of my life after college, starting with my life in Austin, I have enjoyed sitting in cafes wherever I might be, to write in my journal.  You could say that in many ways, I am "my own best therapist" via my journals.

  I have dozens of them that I have saved over the years and now I finally have a cafe, (again after twelve years of living back here in Dunnellon caring for my Dad, who passed away on May 170) in which to perform this sanity saving task

 

 I applaud the new owners, "a school teacher and her husband"for bringing this new cafe to our town (Iris Dement tune of the same name....google it ).

I have not written about it, or even realized that it happened for a plethora of reasons and will be sharing pictures of some of what I have been through by sitting in this new cafe and pouring my heart and sould, into yet another journal.

I am also hoping that this spot will turn into a gathering spot for of the areas artists and musicians and I also hope that they host an Open Mike!!!

I just love the entire design of this cafe.  Indeed a cafe 
Whose Time Has Come

One of my summer of 2024 mixed media creations
What do you see? Perhaps I will heal from my 14 year ordeal
By sitting and writing in this here cafe, and maybe even
Sell some of my art near here as well.
