Badgerie Menagerie September: Last Gasp of Summer!


Introduced Miss 1 to a new and interesting LGBTQ+ Café, Encircled Café.
Proceeds from their café fund the counseling portion of the services provided at this location.

Wall of famous LGBTQ+ people.


I love this outside wall.
Love the message.


And they have meet and greet brunches, once-a-month.
These are much-needed LGBTQ+ services and outreach here in this conservative state.

***

At Game Night Games.
Miss 1 really wanted to try out their D&D.

The board layout was a haunted graveyard.

***

Dropped Miss1 off to Debate Class.
Since it is a bit of a commute, I made the most of it by using class time to find a new nearby park and finish my most recent knitting project.


And done!

Miss 2 crocheted this wicked looking ninja for littlest miss.

It's a Koochi-Kopi coffee kind of day.

Miss 1 got to help a friend can peaches yesterday.
She came home entranced with boiled peaches.
At home, she decided that she now prefers her peaches boiled...
First, she tried the microwave, then settled on the stove top.


Happy.
