{Virtual Coffee}

Tuesday, May 31, 2011


Hi there.
It doesn't seem like Tuesday at all, does it?
Or does it?
A long holiday weekend always throws me off a bit, but I'm not complaining.
So, since it is in fact Tuesday, let's have coffee.
This morning I am having a  homemade cinnamon dolce latte but soon I might have to start 
making my usual coffee into iced coffee.


So, if we were really meeting for coffee...

I would tell you that this morning is Report Card pick-up because ya know,
 SCHOOL IS OUT for us. wahooooo!
I feel like after we leave school this morning, summer vacation is officially here.
Like, for real. And I say, bring it on.
I am ready...and prepared.
Well, mentally prepared anyway. I have already reminded myself that there will be a little
 adjustment period for all of us, but after that, it's all good.

So how was your weekend?
We had a great weekend but they always go too fast when Eric is off. I hate that.
I wish he could just be off with us all summer, now that would be nice.
And it would be like a real vacation for me, too.
Yesterday we had our first frozen margaritas of the summer out on the patio while the
 kids played in the little pool. Yum.


We spent the weekend down at The Farm like we do every single Memorial Day weekend
 since about 1980-ish.
We had a wonderful time and the kids had a blast and since I took 1.5 million pictures,
I will share those tomorrow. The kids played in the sandbox, road four wheelers and swung on the tire swing all.weekend. long. A kid's dream. It was a fun weekend and every year when we are back home a I realize that I might have just been born into the coolest family ever.
Yeah, I think I was. More on that tomorrow though.


Wyatt and his cousin Ella on Friday, the last day of school.
Afterwards we had to celebrate at the coffee shop/bakery...
The cousins got brownies and extra large cookies, we got coffee.


Well, I need to get moving here so we can get to school on time.
I think I am going to have to embarrass Wyatt and take my camera so I can get a picture of him with his teacher. It is her last year, she is retiring after 32 years of teaching.
I loved his teacher and am really sad that Charlotte won't have her but I am so thankful she got our public school experience off to a wonderful start. I have the utmost respect for teachers, it is not an easy job. And a good teacher, a really good teacher, can make all the difference in the world.

Thanks for joining me for coffee this morning....
I kinda wonder if everyone else will forget that it is Tuesday, too?
Well, if you didn't forget, I'll visit you all for coffee later on today, for my refill.
Have a great day!

  9. I'm actually reading this as I sip my coffee on Wed am (half decaf with a little half and half) . Glad you had such a wonderful holiday weekend (I just read your Memorial Day post, too, and it was wonderful-- I loved ALL the photos). On Monday night, I was thinking it was Sunday night, but by yesterday morning, I did get straightened out pretty quickly since we're still in school. I'm not sure if I'm mentally prepared yet for summer, but I have a week more to get there. Have a great week!
