I want to welcome all of you to #weekendcoffeeshare! If you were having coffee with me, I would ask you to please pull up a chair. I have a selection of coffees for you, from a traditional breakfast mix to more exotic coffees. Try my hot cinnamon spice tea or just plain black or green tea if you wish. I'm very glad you're here!
If you were having coffee with me, I would ask how your week has been? Has your weather been as crazy as ours here in the Ohio Valley in the U.S.? It seems like we went from the dead of winter to July within the space of a few days! We had a freeze one night and within a couple of days, it was 88 degrees. There were no green leaves on the trees and everything burst out in buds and leaves all at once. I'm sure the plants don't quite know what's going on. One of my tasks for today, in between rain showers, is to take a look at my flower bed and see what made it through our very long, cold, and snowy winter. It snowed more here than in the city less than 100 miles west of us.
If you were having coffee with me, I would tell you that today is the Kentucky Derby, the most famous horse race of them all. Those of us here in Kentucky really enjoy it and I usually keep up with the horses. This year, life has gotten in the way and I'm not as schooled on the horses as usual. I will still enjoy the race and hope to get up-to-date before the race begins in the late afternoon.
If you were having coffee with me, I would tell you that I have started writing on my novel again after a long break and I'm really enjoying it. I gained some perspective about it during my break after doing some reading and thinking. I'm changing some things, improving other things, and I'm more satisfied with the direction it's taking now. I hope your writing is going well.
If you were having coffee with me, I would tell you that my exciting news is that I'm waiting on my new puppy. I won't yet have he/she when I write the next #weekendcoffeeshare, but two weeks from now, he/she should be home with me and will be about 10 or 11 weeks old. I'm very excited!
Thanks for having coffee with me and I look forward to seeing you next weekend!
