London Fog at @wesley_owens_coffee. It's funny how a place can invoke multiple trips down memory lane, but as I've spent some time here working this week while my kids are at a local horse camp, I have found myself reminiscing quite often.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I walked into this little coffee shop with more than just a little trepidation one Tuesday night in May six years ago. At the time, we had just moved to a new town and I was at a point in my life where I was desperate to make friends, so I stifled my introvert self and reached out to the leader of a local Charlotte Mason book group to see about attending. (I still have that email, by the way, @the_sacredwilds. 😊)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I look over and watch my timid self making her way to the couches in the corner where Lindsey and Kelly were already sitting. I see the table where we gathered for snacks that Niko brought that first time I went. I gaze through the front windows and find the spot where I stood in the cold with Jennifer and Dawn talking about the upcoming retreat a half-hour after our book group had finished.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I do not exaggerate when I say that coming to that group literally changed my life. I met some of my dearest friends who, unbeknownst to me, came along at a time in my life when I would very much need them. It changed the lives of my kids by providing them with a beautiful homeschool co-op experience and wonderful friends. It gave us community and love in more ways than I can count.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's been a little bittersweet for me to be here this week as neither the book group nor the co-op happens anymore. I miss those times and the faces I got to see so often. But I am so thankful that I made that decision to walk into a coffee shop on a Tuesday night.

If you happen to be traveling through Monument, Colorado, you'll find this little coffee shop just off I-25. I highly recommend it. ☕️⛰

Last Friday was officially our last day of school, though we still have our exams to finish and we'll be doing math through the summer. My daughter just finished AmblesideOnline Year 2 which includes "Joan of Arc" by Diane Stanley. Admittedly, this was one of my favorite books of the year just for the art alone.

I love when modern artists take inspiration from art history and Diane Stanley is a shining example of this practice. I wrote a paper in college on the Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry, an illuminated manuscript from the early 15th century. Every week this year when I opened Stanley's version of the story of the Maid of Orléans to read to my daughter, I felt like I was looking at the Très Riches Heures again. I enjoyed it. 😊
