This summer we learned the phrase “salad days” from Jo. So Rhys declared today “smoothie days” in honor of a second lost tooth. Also: the smoothies were just rated “almost as good as @quickestgirl” which I’ll take as high praise!

Usually I print a few extra copies of Peppermint Alley Press but this month I ended up short and had to return to the print shop. The Printer said “your stuff is pretty sweet so I printed you ten extra.” So… Ten extra copies and a chance to sign up for more if you’re looking for a little fun snail mail in your life. Sign up here!

Happy 15th Birthday to this one. My first one. He has the best smile and an even better laugh. I look up to him in so very many ways. My dear river ambassador, lover of all the blues with an excellent taste in softness and strength. You are a keen observer of life, keeper of the stories, finder of everyday magic and forgotten treasures. Keep your eyes open and may you always hold that deep trust in yourself.

Finishing up July’s Peppermint Alley Press and I am getting ready to send it out into the world! This makes THREE years of monthly snail mail creations. I’ll have to reflect on that toddler-aged milestone but in the meantime, you can send me your address and I’ll send you mail. 📬🪄
