I cook with turmeric often - mostly in curries or if I want something to turn yellow - it is very mild to taste but great for you - and beware it stains your counters pretty nicely! lol

Tracy, there's a town called Sedona in Arizona, and we plan on spending a day there. New agey folks are drawn there in droves! It's surrounded by stunning red rocks. I'll be taking a lot of pictures while I'm there, and posting them all over my facebook page LOL!!!

Macchu Picchu is on my list of top ten places I'd like to visit - with #1 being Great Britain!

Good Morning Coffee Friends, and Happy Saturday!!

On this lovely morning I'm drinking a Cafe Mocha, prepared with baking cocoa and sweet cream coffee creamer/plain creamer. It feels very fall-like because I'm drinking it out of a giant orange cup with autumn leaves all around it.

So yesterday I got a massage!!! And oy did I ever need it. I'm a retired massage therapist, and I used to always tell people to get a massage on a regular basis - once a week is awesome, but every other week, or once a month is good! Me? I was never very regular about receiving them - it just felt like life was too busy LOL!! I'm really changing my mind about that now.

Later my kids and I are bringing some spice cake over to my mom and aunt's, and will have a little visit. My son has to work this afternoon, but he'll be back later tonight - so I'll get to see him later - and for breakfast tomorrow too before he heads back to school!

My daughter and I plan on recovering from our busy day yesterday of running around. I still need to get an article written - yikes!

Anyway, I hope everyone has a great weekend!!!

Hi Deanna, Yes Sedona is a place I would love to visit Where are you in the US? In in a great part of the UK. In the Midlands, central for Stratford Upon Avon, Warwick Castle, Oxford, the Cotswolds and handy for London. Lots of people use this area as a base when travelling in the UK.

I remembered after I posted my message that I've been to New York too :)I have a friend in Lima so I went to see her and we travelled around for a month. Machu Picchu is definitely worth going too

Hi Tracy, I am in the Southwest of California. I'm about 50 miles from the ocean, and about 90 miles from Mexico

I love the location because I'm close to the mountains, desert, and ocean. Whatever fits my mood LOL!!!

I've felt such a pull to visit England! I'd especially LOVE to see Stonehenge (what new agey gal wouldn't, right?), and then of course Glastenbury. But mostly I think I'd just love to stand on a high cliff overlooking the ocean

Happy Sunday night everybody. It's nearly bedtime, in fact feels later since we just turned the clocks back. And I'd already turned the clock back an hour on Tuesday after getting back from Norway. I'm pretty confused about what day it is and what time it is. Obviously, one hour's difference isn't going to cause much jet lag, but traveling really confuses my internal clock and calendar.

Although I don't drink coffee, some of your concoctions sound so good I wish I did. But I think I won't give up my tea. And I'm having some difficulty imagining the effect of turmeric on coffee. I've put it in curries, but wonder what it does for coffee. Oddly, I'm not even sure - except for the color - what it does for curry, let alone coffee.

Mona, traveling confuses my body and clock too - even if I don't leave the time zone LOL!!!

Good Evening Coffee Friends!!!!
Hot Chocolate and (3) of the Big Marshmallows in my cup tonight.
I had a friend visit for the weekend. We had so much fun. It was sad to see her leave. Alas, back to the real world. I have been in a little of a funk today. I had worked so hard last week cleaning, organizing and getting things ready for her visit. It seemed like it was over in a flash.

I am excited to start the week with a positive mind and a creative to do list. Have a few errands to run, but my focus is writing and art. I have missed you all!

Chel

Missed you too Chel. Back at it after the weeks fun. 7 more days to get things in order for Nanowrimo! Eeek!

Good Morning Coffee Friends

What a beautiful autumn like morning here in Southern California! I even put on slippers this morning because my feet were cold

Allyson, how is your new kitty adjusting?

And Chel, I know about that friend-leaving funk. It's just so lovely to have them around huh!!

I feel like I got a lot done this weekend. I wrote ahead a couple of articles - so now I just need one more, and I'm done for November YAY!

I'm still thinking about what I'll do today. Guess I should go grab my "to do" notebook and start putting things in order.

I hope everyone has a great morning
