A Coffee State of Mind

I am Dale Parsons, and this is my lovely wife of nearly fifty years, Mary. We have a wonderful family we love dearly.

Maggie is our mini-goldendoodle. She is a loving and faithful companion.

A Coffee State of Mind includes posts on many topics. The following links hold examples from each of the menu collections:

Model Railroading.

Mental Health.

Blogging.

Scandal at Maple Valley.

Post Pages.

Model railroading has been my hobby since I was fifteen years old. The posts include many photos of my HO scale Maple Valley Short Line Model Railroad, plus many how-to items for those interested in learning about the hobby.

Mental Health is obviously important.

The Blogging item is a catch-all for a menagerie of topics, none of which are about how to write a blog.

Scandal at Maple Valley started nearly two years ago when I found what was left of a small toy car in an old barn. I took the car home and put it on my train layout, and thought, “There’s a scandal in Maple Valley. Sylvia Meisner has disappeared and her burned car was found under Three Tower Bridge.” That was more than thirty episodes ago.

I hope you will choose to follow A Coffee State of Mind and invite your friends to join you.

Thanks so much!

Dale Parsons

Hi Dale I so enjoyed reading your testimony and learning more about you. We have a lot in common. God, family and hobbies. And our unique ability to express positive thoughts through our songs of artistry.

Though I have not tried the Coffee Element yet, the idea is tempting!
