when you need some coffeeso sit with me and share your news. . .have a snack. . .have a healthy snack. . .fall asleep and dream a while. . .and when you wake and the stars fill the sky we'll share some more. . .
Made me weepy and I'm not certain why... But it's a great cuppa java, always. And it's a safeplace--a home from home. And you know I like roasting marshmallows (well, burning them actually--but that's my deal, I guess....LOL). And I'm such a dreamer. A bit 'forced' into those healthy snacks thanks to the silly 'gluten free' jazz. And Horatio is such a good little fella.......
((((((((((( ILTV ))))))))))))))
It just feels like home to me.
So. Yes, please--black. It's getting late in the evening but I'm always game. Always.
Oh that's so nice. I'm glad you're there. Mmm, coffee too, yes please : ) xxxxx Sharing news - some happiness of good friends, some deep sadness of others and shared littlest grandchild with lots and lots of people on a glorious sunny day. ((((((((((((Inukshuk)))))))))))
Sun was out--and it pretended it was spring for a few days. Complete with a storm or two.....to ten tornadoes on the other side of the state. (needed to qualify that--sister freaked out when the news talked it!)
But the swing is out, the swing is out!!!!!!
Even if it's with a blankie and a jacket--the SWING is OUT! :-D
I should have come here sooner, but I was busy with other stuff. Today marks the 43rd anniversary of the day I got drafted into the US Army. That's all the news I have. Oh, and when I'm done looking at your blog and a quick stop over at Mel's, I'm going to the Dish and the Spoon coffee shop in town and riding my British made Triumph motorcycle to get there. Thanks for the warm and delightful welcome. Wish I could ride that trumpet over inn the Motherland. That would be cool!~
for you, dearheart, there's always a fresh pot. . . so I'll top you up! and again. . . and again and again
the sun is finaly shining in the UK and the children are on their Easter holidays. . . Mini-Teen has gone on a school trip to France, so there was much shopping and packing and repacking and then a very early morning to get her to the coach on time. . . the school's texted a few times: they've been to an aquarium, to the beach, to a chocolate factory, had a disco and a games night and tomorrow off to Paris. . .
she took a couple of exams back in the early spring and the results came thru - top marks in one and only one wrong in another, so two A* GCSEs at the age of thirteen-and-a-half: not bad really, in fact very good!!!
as for the XY Teens, one of them has been xBoxing in his PJs 24/7 for well over a week now and the other has just been accepted at Art College - so all's well with them. . .
. . .and as for my good self, I've booked a very grown-up all-by-myself holiday to. . .
*trumpet fan-fair*
. . .Egypt
*frowns*
not the potentially dangerous revolution struck Cairo but the seaside (the Red Sea, just to the east of the Sahara Desert)(you know me, a holiday's not a holiday unless there's a seaside)
(-:
so, many hugs in the meantime, dear Mel and also BIG HUGS to G and mig
Oh wow! Egypt. There I was almost in Wales and you've gone off to the land of Sphinxes and Pharoahs. Can't wait to hear about it! And the cleverness of the mini-teen too. Wonderful news all of it. ((((((((((Inukshuk)))))))))
Oh! I am so happy you brewed up a pot for mel and emerged with stories to tell! (hey - that rhymes!)
mini-teen is off to france?! my ex-secret santa gift exchange buddy is frolicking in the land i dream of visiting. sighhh... hope she makes LOTS of wonderful memories!!
and YOU? off to Egypt! wowWOWwow :) and the ocean too. sighhh...
Ahhhh....how proud you must be of the brilliant almost 14 year old. Holy cow! Good for her! Nothing like acing tests to give you reason to puff up a bit.
Art College and xBoxing in pj's--what a deal those are. I need to consider a pj day with a box of crayons and finger paints in celebration. (note I'll use any excuse for crayons and finger paints, tyvm!)
And you with plans to go to the non-revolution filled part of Egypt with the seaside!! Okay, now there's a vacation to get excited about. (no jokes about parting the Red Sea from me!) How very cool will that be! All set, just the packing bit to do. ('just'.....LOL) I know that's my least favorite part. Unpacking is a zip and dump deal--preferably by the new washing machine that we can hope is working well, under the supervision of jammie clad younger people one can hope! LOL I'm such a dreamer.
Egypt. How very cool.
*checking cup and holding it out*
Yes, please......more. :-) (Ignore the goobery thingies--I'm still in training......)
I've been playing with him too. He just gave me such a look and then carried on cleaning his whiskers. I just had to give him a treat too. (I hope we aren't overfeeding him!)
I didn't really, honest. Share a sherbet with you Inukshuk - you have the liquorice and I'll have the sherbet. (Why is it called a fountain anyway? It's more like a.... Well it's not a lot like a fountain is it?)
man good to hear from you! I've been having a different kind of energy recently (so not here much, which is a little strange after so many years!!) but have been missing you too!
(-:
Mel and mig I always thought the fountain was cos of what happened when the sherbert gets damp in your mouth
oo-er-missus!!!
Vicus please ignore the above reference to oral fizzing - I'm sure it's not what you had in mind at all. . .
Momentarily I misread that as when it gets damp in your youth and I thought Oh ! Are you offering us a fountain of youth? I could do with one of those! Fizz!
when you need some coffee
so sit with me and share your news. . .
have a snack. . .
have a healthy snack. . .
fall asleep and dream a while. . .
and when you wake and the stars fill the sky we'll share some more. . .

Sun's up--new day...... Not a whole lot to report, 'cept the swing is on the patio.
Okay...so that's HUGE in my world and minute in the big scheme of things. But I'm a happy bunny. :-)
Happy is good!

Perhaps whatever's in Alice's bottle would be be helpful? :-/

This morning I overslept..
...and changed clothes three times...
...and then changed pants one more time..
then realized i forgot to grind some beans...
...so it was TOO LATE for coffee.
*sigh*
NOT an option... so once at work, i whined and grumped around long enough that one of my wonderful aides BROUGHT ME A VENTI STARBUCKS!!
:)
Hope you've had a good day, J.
xxooxxoo
Hoping you're getting to enjoy the sun.
xxxxx
Hold on..... She whined and grumped around LONG ENOUGH... And she got a VENTI STARBUCKS?!
k.
<-- gonna practice the whining and grumping bit.
I thought I had that down pretty well.
APPARENTLY she's figured out it's the LENGTH OF TIME you whine and grump!
...And THIS is why I love her! LOL
((((((( G ))))))))
<---bats eyelashes

Just throwing in a random general hug as I'm away for the weekend.

Ohhhhhh..... I soooooooo need a weekend 'away'.
I sooooooo don't get one. *sigh*
That's okay--I'll celebrate for Mig and settle in for a cuppa java with you and the good people who frequent your place.
(((((((((((((( ILTV )))))))))))))))
I'm enjoying an evening cuppa joe.
Hugs to all!

Life has a way of doing that, huh?
I'm hoping what's claiming you is GOOD stuff and bringing you parcels of great joy.
Yup--back again!
With coffee, this time...so you don't haffta share. Well, that's unless you wanna share.

(Ignore the goobery thingies--I'm still in training......)
Shhhhhhhhh....
<-- snuck in to play with Horatio
(already had the 'allowed' last cuppa coffee for the evening--figured you wouldn't mind if I played with the hamster)
*laughing* He's so cute when he tap dances.
Yeah, yeah....another day done. Playing with Horatio at the end of a long day is a good thing.
PLUS he gets a treat or two.....or seven.....*laughing*
I've been playing with him too. He just gave me such a look and then carried on cleaning his whiskers. I just had to give him a treat too. (I hope we aren't overfeeding him!)
it's still Friday here.
and Earth Day.
Starbucks, in hono(u)r of Earth Day, offers a free pour if you bring your own cup.
which I did. (went to Starbucks) (brought my own cup)
so it's still Friday here. And I'm drinking coffee with y'all.
:)
She had starbucks!
Whoa....lucky her. Certainly WAS a good Friday!
And now it's Saturday. Horatio is entertaining me with his run in the wheel--and I'm about to head to the patio. Jack-o-lantern cup in hand.
Yeah, yeah.....I know it's not Halloween yet.
:-/
Like this matters?!
Not one darn bit. LOL
((((((((((( ILTV )))))))))))))
She had Starbucks.
:-/
Just dropping in to wish you a Happy Easter.
HAPPY EASTER HUGS!
(and to everyone else who's dropping in)
XXX
<-- taking one of those hugs Mig is doling out, tyvm
And a happy bunny day to you, ma'am.
Wishing you all the black jelly beans! :-)
(((((((((( ILTV )))))))))
Black jelly beans? What do they taste of? Coffee?
dropping in with my coffee to see how w all are.
xxx
Right. Black jelly beans in coffee.
:-/
Ummmm.....
*checking out the coffee cup*
NO WAY!
They're kinda licorice flavored.
Somehow I can't fathom licorice flavored coffee.
COULD be that I'm just being rigid and passing by a new and innovative coffee flavor that Starbucks'll make a fortune off of!
Uh huh......I'm thinkin' notsomuch....
OMG
O
M
G
She drowned a black jelly bean!!!!!!!
:-/
yum - I like liquorice!! it's one of the best things about a sherbert fountain (ask The Brit, Mel)
lovely hug Mig, thanking you!
(-:
XXXXX
The sherbert is quite good too. Not wishing to create a radical situation, however.
:-/ As long as it ain't getting dropped into coffee--I'm good with that.....
I don't believe she drowned a black jelly bean.
And if Starbucks makes a mint off the idea--royalties oughta happen!
Ummmmmm.....can I have a teensy part of that? JUST enough to go to Egypt and the beach maybe?
:-D
I didn't really, honest.
Share a sherbet with you Inukshuk - you have the liquorice and I'll have the sherbet.
(Why is it called a fountain anyway? It's more like a.... Well it's not a lot like a fountain is it?)
Okay okay.....what's a fountain?
I am not waking him up at this hour--he'll tell me it's the middle of the night.
*rolling eyes*
I'm missin' you. My failure to come here more often has made me lost to you and that makes me sad. Hope all is good. Thanks for the coffee and snacks.
Peace
man good to hear from you! I've been having a different kind of energy recently (so not here much, which is a little strange after so many years!!) but have been missing you too!
(-:
Mel and mig I always thought the fountain was cos of what happened when the sherbert gets damp in your mouth
oo-er-missus!!!
Vicus please ignore the above reference to oral fizzing - I'm sure it's not what you had in mind at all. . .
Momentarily I misread that as when it gets damp in your youth and I thought Oh ! Are you offering us a fountain of youth? I could do with one of those!
Fizz!
I did NOT just read that.
*covering eyes*
Did NOT!
Nope.
omg.......
ROFLMAO!!!
Just a thought:
