CHOOSE: LESS THAN ORDINARY

Sometimes Dove "less than ordinary messages" are "spot-on," especially when they're tucked inside the "white and dark chocolate swirls" Yummy swirls, virtually impossible to find, unless one digs around for them in a mixed bag.

But....of the 9 spot-on yet, different chocolate messages I consumed, from sing aloud, solve arguments with a dance-off and quote your dad, the bookstore  one caught my fancy!

Actually go to a bookstore. Hmm-m-m-m.......Go to an actual bookstore. 

No matter how you say it, it's a "novel" idea!

So.... Today, I choose the extraordinary---a brick and mortar bookstore owned by locals!

Around Memphis Town #1

Choose 901 is a website for the twenty-somethings or thirty-somethings---with lots of instagrams, snapwidgets, hashtags, memes and things I don't really "get." But.... I like its positive "newsy" approach to living in Memphis.

Yesterday when I was at Muddy's Grindhouse, I recognized pottery from Paper and Clay and realized it had been featured on Choose 901---I felt "with it."

I'm too old to post or tag Choose 901 or the I love Memphis blog, tho I appreciate their events updates. But, I can share a few "new to me" places or happenings in Memphis with my "mature" readers.

A "White Tie" cupcake to take home to hubby who was busy staining and painting---after putting in  pocket door for me. He deserved a whole cake.

This cozy Cooper-Young place has tea for me, (coffee for most) and some yummy biscuits, scones, cupcakes, etc.  A "crazy good" kind of place as young folks dub it. The study bench/table near the window was also perfect for prayers with my sweet friend, Nancy Emanuel.
