The Claussen House

May 18, 2010

Bean Groovy

February 18, 2010

Why don’t you come in and sit a spell? I fell in love with Bean Groovy the other day. I could honestly sit there and write or work for hours.

Thank you

January 25, 2010

We were sitting in a corner booth, happily discussing things of no real consequence to the world around us. I noticed a young family seated at a table close by. The dad had on an army uniform– the same color of the uniforms I see on the news when units are deploying. The kids were [...]
