Champaign, OH:  Weblog Entry


Sometimes I wonder, what am I gonna do
There ain’t no cure for the summertime blues
(The Who – Summertime Blues)

So, it’s a rainy summer day with no sunshine in sight. I have always called these days, Summertime Blues days. I know we need the rain but it always draws me back to younger days, staring out the window, wanting to be outside running like the wind but all you saw was rain pelting the windows.

When I was older, in college, and home for one of my summer breaks, one of my pals ended up with a huge, old house for the summer. It was one of those houses that became the community house. It was on the outskirts of Wittenburg’s campus, and it was all of ours’ for the entire summer. What fun!! Everyone just kind of came and went. We would work our summer jobs, hang out at the house in the evenings.

It was the summer that I worked three jobs. I was a window designer for a store at our local mall, I worked in a pub, and I interned at the local newspaper. I remember one night, upon arriving at the house for a night of fun, I felt so tired and just sort of sank down on a random sofa beside one of my oldest and dearest pals.

He asked what was wrong with me since I was always bopping around, singing, grooving. I told him I was just tired from the pace of all three jobs. He looked at me and just said, You’ve got the Summertime Blues, Pammie (always my nickname back then). I just cracked up laughing because yes, it was the Summertime Blues but also it was the name I had given rainy days way back when I was young.

So…for this Summertime Blues day, I am going to make it a bit cheerier for all of you!! Instead of the one Market Love playlist winner, I am going to make it FOUR Market Love winners!!!! But, you can only have a chance to win if you all get your orders groovin’!!

We are having a great market, and we would LOVE to break even our best record!!! What better way to cheer yourself up, make your week easier, and win a Market Love playlist??

Let’s go…let’s do this!!

Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam

Champaign, OH:  The Beat Goes On


And the beat goes on, beat goes on
Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain…La de da de de, la de da de da

(Sonny & Cher – Beat Goes On)

So here we are at Tuesday, again…the days go by, the weeks go by, we mark each move into the next by keeping a beat of sorts. Each of us has our own way of keeping track of the days, passing the time, making sure the beat goes on.

It’s sort of a natural rhythm that plays out. In the world of Cosmic Charlie, much of my beat goes on, daily, with who/what/where I will be baking, showing up, making it all happen. I know which (very few and very rare) days are my play days. I know who and what I am baking for, on each designated day.

I keep the rhythm of the days groovin’ with music, lots of coffee, lots of bread dough, a bit of wine, and a whole lot of love from my pals, to keep me motivated.

And so each day comes as an adventure all the while keeping up it’s constant and steady beat. Now we are rockin’ in the beat of Tuesday. This means that it is the last day for market ordering for the week. I begin marking this day with your morning Weblog, followed by a late reminder, a Last Call, and then the closing sign.

Pick up the pace, keep the beat, twirl your way into this day, Tuesday, by placing your orders. As the day goes on, so does the beat. Before you know it, I am singing the Closing Time song, while there are still frantic customers who forgot to place their orders.

So, start now…groove the beat…place your order…take a bow. Your local rhythm continues…

Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam
