Lucy and Annabelle go to Zuppa Zuppa Soup Kitchen

February 25, 2016 By Talya Tate Boerner

Lucy and Annabelle go to Zuppa Zuppa Soup

Last Saturday, Lucy and Annabelle went to Zuppa Zuppa Soup Kitchen. The spring-like weather had all of us headed outside, and besides, Ann Harris, owner of Zuppa Zuppa, was introducing a soup in honor of Gracie Lee—Amazing Gracie Chicken and Dumplings!

A Gracie Lee favorite, for sure.

Since Zuppa Zuppa Soup Kitchen is one of the food trucks at the Yacht Club on College, I thought it would be perfect for Lucy and Annabelle. Casual. Outside. Pet friendly. Sounds good on paper, right?Continue Reading

Recipe for a delicious Book Launch Party

Recipe for a book launch party!

One Book, New Book. Take my Accidental Survey!

January 20, 2016 By Talya Tate Boerner

take my accidental survey!

You know all those silly games we play on Facebook? Like what color is your animal spirit and what tree would you be if you could be a tree? Well, I have a game for you to kick off this hump day. My One Book, New Book Accidental Survey is fun with multiple choice questions and no right or wrong answers except for Number 6. (If you’ve been paying super close attention, you’ll know without consulting the Googler. Otherwise, the correct answer rhymes with Sonora Sheltie.)

Ready?

Set.

There’s no purpose, no ulterior motive, no government monitoring, no prizes, no nothing. Just something fun to do.

Go!
