- [Time to Go](https://coffeeandtumbleweeds.com/this-and-that/time-to-go/) - Last campfire and s'mores to finish off a short but wonderful trip. It was great spending time with my grandnephew. Pretty soon he'll be off on his own. It was inspiring hearing him talk about his love for astronomy and his goals for the future. I know he'll succeed in whatever he does. He's not
- [A Day of Exploration](https://coffeeandtumbleweeds.com/tumbleweeds/a-day-of-exploration/) - The Warm Springs/Pine Mountain area offers some stunning views and some great places to see. This trip we visited the Little White House grounds and museum. It was where FDR spent some of his happiest moments and where he took his final breath. I knew about FDR from history class decades ago, but this stop
- [First Camp of the Year](https://coffeeandtumbleweeds.com/tumbleweeds/first-camp-of-the-year/) - Yes! First camp, first campfire of the year. My grandnephew is joining me this trip. We have been talking about camping for a while now and am so happy he's here. He brought his speaker along so we could jam on the ride down - imagine my surprise when he cranked up some Pink Floyd!
- [Joe T and Helen](https://coffeeandtumbleweeds.com/looking-back/joe-t-and-helen/) - My uncle Joe T was a reserved man so I never really got to know him. I heard he was pretty wild when younger. He served our country on the front lines in WWII. He worked hard and made a good life for his family. There are a few stories that I have heard about
- [Just Walking Through My Graceful Life When...](https://coffeeandtumbleweeds.com/this-and-that/just-walking-through-my-graceful-life-when/) - Yes, you got it. I fell up the stairs. Just call me Grace. When you're young and you fall you don't really think about the fall. You bounce back up and think... A.) I hope no one one saw me or B.) If it's an epic fall, I hope everyone saw me. "Wow, did you
- [A Fluffle of Rabbits](https://coffeeandtumbleweeds.com/words/a-fluffle-of-rabbits/) - I came across a post that said a group of wild rabbits was called a fluffle - what a perfect name! It got me wondering if other groups of animals had such appropriate names. The answer is yes! Here are a few of my favorites... A Flamboyance of Flamingos A Kaleidoscope of Butterflies A Concerto
- [I Miss Playing Games](https://coffeeandtumbleweeds.com/this-and-that/i-miss-playing-games/) - No, not the kind of games that mess with people's emotions. I'm talking board games, outdoor games, fun entertainment. Like most kids in my generation I grew up playing outdoors - Freeze Tag, Red Rover, Kick Ball, and Tether Ball were just a few. We rode our bikes and skated for hours. Until the street
- [So Strong](https://coffeeandtumbleweeds.com/looking-back/so-strong/) - Mom was part of a big family living in the poor world that existed for coal miners. She told me they often relied on their garden for food and if it failed they went hungry. I was told that her first pair of new shoes was when she graduated high school. An older sister bought
- [A Sailor's Life](https://coffeeandtumbleweeds.com/looking-back/a-sailors-life/) - My dad was a lifer in the Navy. He was on subs most of his career. I was born in Connecticut when my dad was stationed at Groton, near New London. From what I've been told, he loved it. I was only six months old when we were transferred to the West Coast. I can
- [Story on the Square/Rough Draft](https://coffeeandtumbleweeds.com/coffee-shops/story-on-the-square-rough-draft/) - In this area of Georgia, finding a coffee shop open on Sunday is almost impossible. If you're in McDonough though, head to Story on the Square after noon. The bookstore has a small business inside called Rough Draft. Selections are limited but you can get an espresso. Not interested in coffee? Good news. They have
- [I'm a Dinosaur](https://coffeeandtumbleweeds.com/looking-back/im-a-dinosaur/) - It's strange when you realize that you have gone from being on the cutting edge to be a dinosaur. I used to listen to all the new music, go to concerts whenever I could. I had an amazing album collection( then 8 tracks and then CDs). At some point in the 80's life got in
- [Generations](https://coffeeandtumbleweeds.com/looking-back/generations/) - My grandparents were part of the Greatest Generation. They were strong people who survived WWI and managed to raise their families during the great depression. My maternal grandfather was a coal miner who raised his big family on next to nothing. The Miller family was a good looking, stubborn lot - the boys rough and
- [Some Days...](https://coffeeandtumbleweeds.com/this-and-that/some-days/) - Some days you just don't want to adult, but you need to for a while at least. That's why crazy socks and shoes exist! Sunday I had to go to McDonough for a short business meet and to get some fodder for the blog. Luckily the business part was done in a few minutes and
- [Word of the Week: Kakorrhaphiophobia?](https://coffeeandtumbleweeds.com/words/word-of-the-week-kakorrhaphiophobia/) - Ever since I could read I devoured books. When I was young, it was surfing, racing, and of course Nancy Drew and Hardy Boy mysteries. As I got older it was everything from classics to science fiction/fantasy, religion to mythology, true crime and yes, I even loved researching things in the Encyclopedia. But in all
- [Word of the Week](https://coffeeandtumbleweeds.com/words/word-of-the-week/) - I love words - new words, old words, silly words, slang words, and even not so real words. Each week I'll be on a hunt to pass one on to you. This week's word is Coffunkle (kaa-fuhn-kl). Its an adjective describing the funk one is in due to lack of coffee. Keep a pot brewing
- [Who Knew? Not Me!](https://coffeeandtumbleweeds.com/words/who-knew-not-me/) - In my search for new and unusual words, I came across Thingamabob and Thingamajig. I always thought they meant the same thing. Wrong. A Thingamabob refers to a person that you can't remember or don't know their name. A Thingamajig (also dohickey) refers to an object that you don't know or can't remember. It makes
- [Events are Kicking Off at Black Smoke Coffee!](https://coffeeandtumbleweeds.com/coffee-shops/events-are-kicking-off-at-black-smoke-coffee/) - The weather is getting warmer and so are the events. Black Smoke Coffee kicked off the season with lots of Jeeps and and their poker run. The shop was rocking and rolling all day. I sure do love it when we are crazy busy! Here's a few of my favorite pics: Don't miss the Benefit
- [Giggles](https://coffeeandtumbleweeds.com/this-and-that/giggles/) - I was filling eggs for our Easter egg hunt earlier this week. A young girl, maybe 6 year old, came in a started talking to me. She explained to me that she couldn't come to our egg hunt because it would probably be the same day as the one at her school and, of course,
- [Some Days You Can...](https://coffeeandtumbleweeds.com/this-and-that/some-days-you-can/) - Living with a chronic pain disorder means you never know what each day will bring. Today was one of the bad days, one of those days where the pain is off the charts. Some days you can push on and some days not. Today I made myself get up and get moving with the hopes
- [Tug of War](https://coffeeandtumbleweeds.com/this-and-that/tug-of-war/) - It's that time of year - winter and spring are in a tug of war. Temps drop into the 30's and 40's as winter tries to hang on for a little longer and then soar into the 70's as spring vies for her turn. I'm a cold weather girl so I have mixed emotions this
- [Coming of Age](https://coffeeandtumbleweeds.com/this-and-that/coming-of-age/) - Today my friend and coworker turned 18. It's such a milestone, but it comes with a lot of angst. Excitement about finally being an adult, and wondering if you are ready to or want to adult. You can finally vote, but can also be called for jury duty. You can move out and be on
- [Ice Cream at the End of the Road](https://coffeeandtumbleweeds.com/this-and-that/ice-cream-at-the-end-of-the-road/) - I hate meetings, always have. I was so disappointed when I had to postpone my camping trip to attend a mandatory meeting yesterday. To me, meetings are a waste of time. Don't get me wrong, this meeting did contain some needed information. Maybe I'm old fashioned, or maybe I'm just old, but I like memos.
- [There's A Word For Everything](https://coffeeandtumbleweeds.com/this-and-that/theres-a-word-for-everything/) - Yesterday I wrote a short post on my need for some campfire time. Who knew there was a special word for what I was describing? This appeared on my Facebook feed today. Sometimes it pays to have "big brother watching". "Blazemoche n. The therapeutic tranquility one feels when listening to the crackling wood, dancing flames,
- [I Need a Campfire, but Maybe a Bonfire Will Do](https://coffeeandtumbleweeds.com/this-and-that/i-need-a-campfire-but-maybe-a-bonfire-will-do/) - It's been so long since I've taken the time to go camping. Planning upcoming trips helps, but there is nothing like sitting around a campfire to soothe the soul. I'm one of those strange people that loves the smell of the campfire. When I'm staring into the flames I can feel all of my stress
- [Do I Hurkle-Durkle Today or Just Snerdle?](https://coffeeandtumbleweeds.com/this-and-that/do-i-hurkle-durkle-today-or-just-snerdle/) - For those few have been reading my posts, you know all about the concept of Hurkle-Durkling. In case you missed that post its a Scottish word for that time we lay around before our feet hit the floor and we start our day. I have embraced this concept and try to Hurkle-Durkle everyday. I usually
- [I Forgot My Phone...](https://coffeeandtumbleweeds.com/this-and-that/i-forgot-my-phone/) - I'm old enough to remember party lines and rotary phones attached to the wall. I remember how cool I thought it was when touch-tone phones came along. I had all my important phone numbers memorized. I even had a job for a few years where I had to carry a pager with me all the
- [Thunder and Lightning](https://coffeeandtumbleweeds.com/this-and-that/thunder-and-lightning/) - I love storms. That flash like a camara strobe that lights my little corner of the world. Counting the seconds until the rumble of thunder starts rolling in. Calculating just how far away the center of the storm is. Waiting and wondering just how intense this storm will be. It's really quite delicious. Once the
- [Today Is For You](https://coffeeandtumbleweeds.com/this-and-that/today-is-for-you/) - I've never been a fan of Valentine's Day. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for love just not the commercial hype that surrounds February 14th. I'm always in awe of those couples that find their true soulmate, that one person in the world who compliments and completes them. Its amazing that in this world of
- [Take the Leap](https://coffeeandtumbleweeds.com/this-and-that/take-the-leap/) - Usually when we hear or talk about taking a leap of faith we're considering momentous actions - changing jobs, moving to a new place, adding a child into your life, big things. I was reminded recently just how important it is to take that same leap when smaller things are involved. My friend, Scott, has
- [Head Space](https://coffeeandtumbleweeds.com/this-and-that/head-space/) - We all have the need to nest; it's stronger in some than others. We have that need to create "head space", that unique place where our brain is comfortable - comfortable to rest, comfortable to think, comfortable to create. A place that you can relax and just be you. When you move or life throws
- [The Struggle is Real](https://coffeeandtumbleweeds.com/this-and-that/the-struggle-is-real/) - Coffee doesn't cure everything but it sure helps. We all have our "demons" we struggle with. One of mine left me starting my day exhausted from a sleepless night of tossing and turning. My nerves were frayed and my emotions were on a roller coaster ride. All I wanted to do was pull my covers
- [Coffee Goes With Everything](https://coffeeandtumbleweeds.com/coffee-shops/coffee-goes-with-everything/) - One of the things I love about coffee shops is the variety - not of coffees but the atmosphere. Each shop has a special vibe and can alter your mood in a heartbeat. In Raleigh, NC., stop into Third Place and hang out with the dinosaur or catch up on the news and your reading
- [So Rude](https://coffeeandtumbleweeds.com/this-and-that/so-rude/) - I used to wake up before dawn to work. As much as I hate early shifts, I worked them for years. For the past several months I've been at a job working afternoons and early evenings. It suits my personality so much better and allows me time to hurkle durkle every day. Today I had
- [It Won't Take Long...](https://coffeeandtumbleweeds.com/this-and-that/it-wont-take-long/) - Yesterday, I was so excited to book campground reservations for the second leg of our big trip this fall that I decided I would sort through all my gear. Organize everything, remove anything not needed, and replace anything that needed replacing. Sounds like an easy task, right? It was until .... yes, my brain started
- [Rainy Days](https://coffeeandtumbleweeds.com/this-and-that/rainy-days/) - I'm off to a slow start, it's another rainy day...winters here are very rainy and its almost 70 degrees today. My dreams for one good snow are crushed. I'm still praying for a late cold snap but it isn't looking good. Spring gardens are already sprouting. Oh well, maybe next year. Rainy days are great
- [Short Tumbles](https://coffeeandtumbleweeds.com/tumbleweeds/short-tumbles/) - There are so many beautiful places to see to in Georgia. I usually take the backroads so I can stop and check out the amazing things I see. When work keeps me busy, I still try to tumble locally. I have a group of friends that I can often catch up with along the way
- [Some People Just Love to Tumble](https://coffeeandtumbleweeds.com/tumbleweeds/some-people-just-love-to-tumble/) - One of the joys of traveling is all the interesting people I meet along the way. I met Sandy a few years ago when I was camping at Indian Springs State Park. . Maybe we hit it off because we were both tent camping for the first time in decades, or maybe it was because
- [Circa Coffee House](https://coffeeandtumbleweeds.com/coffee-shops/1781/) - I drove a friend up to Palmetto a few weeks ago. Of course, I had to find a local coffee shop along the way. We ended up in Tyrone, Ga. at Circa's Coffee House. Located in the Whistleblow Station on Senoia Road, it's the kind of place that was perfect for a quick (or not
- [I Know, I Know.  Can't Help it but I Love Snow!](https://coffeeandtumbleweeds.com/this-and-that/i-know-i-know-cant-help-it-but-i-love-snow/) - I'm, sure all of my northern friends are sick of the white stuff by now, but here in south Georgia it's a rarity. I miss snow. Oh, I don't miss shoveling snow, but I miss the rest. My first winter down here was Atlanta's "Snowgeddon". My cousin blamed it on me. Since then, there have
- [1828 Coffee Co.](https://coffeeandtumbleweeds.com/coffee-shops/1828-coffee-co/) - Just a few miles down the road from my stomping grounds is the quaint town of Zebulan, home of 1828 Coffee Co. Named for the building that houses it, the coffee shop is in a restored building that was originally built in 1828 by Samuel Mitchell and is the oldest building in Zebulan. If you
- [Do You Love to Hurkle-Durkle?](https://coffeeandtumbleweeds.com/this-and-that/do-you-love-to-hurkle-durkle/) - I have always loved that time in the morning when you first wake but you don't have to hit the floor running. That time when you can leisurely stretch and think about the day to come or remember favorite times from your past. On work days, I would set my alarm early so I had
- [Even Tumbleweeds Get Stuck Sometimes](https://coffeeandtumbleweeds.com/tumbleweeds/even-tumbleweeds-get-stuck-sometimes/) - Sad, but true, even the best of tumbleweeds get stuck sometimes. Life likes to throw a lot of curve balls at us that most of the time we are able to hit out of the park and tumble on. Occasionally, though, we will strike out and get stuck in the dugout. I know this because
- [Black Smoke Coffee](https://coffeeandtumbleweeds.com/coffee-shops/black-smoke-coffee/) - Its only right that I lead off with Black Smoke Coffee in Orchard Hill, Georgia. This is my home base; what I judge all other coffee shops against. Their coffee blends are amazing - the Black Ops dark roast is what I like to start my day with. They have an almost infinite choice of
- [This Will Be One Long Adventure...](https://coffeeandtumbleweeds.com/this-and-that/this-will-be-one-long-adventure/) - Trying to customize this website is a lesson in frustration. The one-click download is very deceptive. Yes, it downloads the basic format but you have to go in and change everything to make it yours. You also have to delete all the articles and images that fill in the demo. This morning has tried my
- [A New Year, New Adventures](https://coffeeandtumbleweeds.com/coffee-shops/a-new-year-new-adventures/) - Wow! Finally! New beginnings are always a little scary but also very exciting. Coffee and Tumbleweeds has been a dream for a long time. I'm not the most tech savvy person so you'll have to bear with me while I learn the ropes to get this site up and running. There are a few things
