A day around here

Ordinary life in Highland, the way it actually runs — not a highlight reel.

Morning

Coffee at Christy's Donuts, then whatever the day actually needs.

Afternoon

An hour at Cunningham Neighborhood Park, between the errands that never show up on a listing sheet.

Evening

Dinner at Kay's Cafe, then a short drive back to whichever neighbourhood you call home.
