A book review… Erin, Lisa, and Cat host A Good Book and A Cup of Tea Monthly Bookish Blog Party each month. Life continues on here at Haus der Mitte. In case you don’t know, or haven’t been around from the start, my maternal grandparents came from good German stock, on both sides, I believe. …
Week 163! Can you believe it’s July? The weather certainly feels like July…hot and sticky like molasses you left out on the counter, spilled on the floor, and tried to walk through! But, I still feel like I should be getting Valentine’s chocolates! This year is just speeding away for me. How about the rest …
I’m joining Amy at Coffee and Cocktails at the Casa for this month’s “Currently” post. The idea is you fill in the blank of five participles with photos, if possible.

Week 162! I hope all of you are well. I am shocked when I look at the number of weeks I’ve been doing Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot! That’s over three years! I don’t even want to guess how many posts that means have been linked up. I know I’ve had a plethora of co-hosts, and …
