Greetings Earthlings!
Our favorite coffee shop has taken flight and expects to “land and open the hatch this Friday (May 3).”
Load up your spaceship, fly on over, and enjoy a conversation over coffee that will be truly out of this world.

One breezy, overcast Sunday morning, we set out for coffee in South Haven, Michigan. Did we drive a little over three hours for a cup of coffee? Yes. Yes we did. This is not your average coffee shop. It is truly an out of this world experience. Pun intended. At the Flying Saucer, you are greeted by the friendliest baristas in the midwest. Let’s not forget the decor. It’s a cozy coffee shop that channels Area 51 vibes. It’s family friendly with treats and decor that will delight all ages. Their seasonal coffees are exceptional. A must order is the Fall Twist, made with maple spice and oat milk.
Take the drive. Spend some time with friends and family.
Enjoy a conversation over coffee that will be truly be out of this world.

On Sunday, we arrived at St. Joesph beach in Michigan only to find the dreaded red flag waving strong. Overcast and dangerous waves. No swimming today. It was the perfect day to relax and read on the beach.
After several hours of baking in partial sun and reading, we made our way through the local shops. Our first stop was Cabanas for some delicious Black Cherry ice cream. Afterwards, we strolled and browsed the local shops. A visit would not be complete without stopping by the local independent bookstore Forever Books. As you walk in, you are greeted with the fragrance of possibility. While browsing, I came across two exceptional picture books. The Legend of Sleeping Bear is beautifully written and illustrated. I’m looking forward to integrating this lovely into my classroom. Caldecott Medalist Sophie Blackall’s Hello Lighthouse was the second lakeside treasure that I discovered. Hello Lighthouse “is a luminous tribute to a steadfast lighthouse and its reassuring light.”
