5 Ways Running is Like Crocheting
Crocheting? Running? Has CRJ gone off the deep bend? Well, that may be debatable, but sometimes it's good to have a little fun with your running -- and your blog.

The Curious Case of the Standard Chihuahua: Spilling over tea/coffee February 2018
Somehow it seems as though mostly what I'm sharing is senior moments (not really -- but it feels that way!). And a long discourse on chihuahuas that I totally understand if you skip it. Pull up chair and mug with Coco and Deborah and me for the ultimate coffee tea date.

Powering through Winter: Spilling over tea/coffee February 2018

In fact, that's the first thing I'd tell you this month over a nice cuppa green tea. Or maybe some ginger tumeric.
