Note from the editor
Wow! Did you notice that? It was your day flying by. This publication is your place to enjoy stories of 150 words or fewer about almost anything. Our writers want to entertain, inform, and delight you as you take a break in your busy day. Did I mention humor? Stick your head in the sand for a minute; you'll not find news or politics interfering with your cuppa. We like nature, food, pets, plants, people, and all things simple—or complex that can enrich our lives. We celebrate humanity. Serve up your cuppa tea, coffee, wine, cocoa, or whatever pleases you, and enjoy our daily bites.
