There are two kinds of people: Those who consider

There are two kinds of people: Those who consider September early fall and those who consider September late summer.⁠
⁠
I'm in the latter category, but only because I live in Colorado and because summer is my favorite season. I'd likely sing a different tune if I lived in the South.⁠ Although I did have my first "fall drink," the iced apple crisp cream chai. It was good but awfully sweet, which is saying something for me!⁠
⁠
Here's to your first weekend in September, friends! May it bring you time with family, friends, and a W for your football team too. Or whatever fall/summer/fummer delights you enjoy this time of year!⁠
⁠
PS: Thank you for the kind comments and messages about my gift book Friends Are Family We Choose. What a delightful launch week it was, in large part because of YOU.

My favorite feedback about Friends Are Family We C

My favorite feedback about Friends Are Family We Choose: While this is one book that's being gifted to different people from all walks of life, it's speaking to each person in unique and individual ways.

There's no comment that thrills this author more! Praise be to the good Lord above.

Hello and howdy and Happy Friends Are Family We Ch

Hello and howdy and Happy Friends Are Family We Choose Is Officially Here Day!⁠🥳🥳🥳
⁠
She's pretty ding dang darlin', not to mention a creative way to bless the beloveds in your life that you love like family.⁠
⁠
This world is a divisive one, and plenty of words get thrown around that tear others down. Here’s to choosing a different way, the way that uses our words to build up and bless--which this book surely does. ⁠
⁠
Love, Kristen (aka the gal who can't smile without showing all 57 of her teeth. But it's a great day to smile, so 57 teeth it is!💙💙💙)⁠
