Artist's Statement: Even when I think of it as a pending event, our soldier son JD's deployment into clear and present danger, pains my heart and soul. "Surrendering to Beauty" saves me.

 Thank you for witnessing my process while I wait for his return- SAFE AND STRONG- from his fourth combat deployment.

Our Neighbor — Silver Spring Books

A November 2011 post from someone with the handle Beans & Greens who adores our neighbor on Bonifant, Silver Spring Books, and who suggests taking your new old book purchase over to Kefa Cafe for a little reading time.

A lovely post with great photos by Debbie Cook, the silver bee: unique, cozy, funky, and vintage. Amen.

Here's a look inside. And here's a Docs in Progress video film about Certified Book Lover, and reported romance novel expert and former probation officer Cynthia Parker.

A Writer's Best of Silver Spring

In case you missed it, a few of George Pelecanos' fave spots in Silver Spring. These are some of ours, too.

On Bonifant Street:

"I like Kefa Cafe (963 Bonifant St.; 301-589-9337). The women who run it, Lene and Abeba Tsegaye, are just beautiful people. It’s a nice place to get a cup of coffee.

I get my books at Silver Spring Books (938 Bonifant St.; 301-587-7484). It’s run by my friend Cynthia Parker, an ex–probation officer and a very nice person."
