Ultimate Coffee Date!
It’s the first Friday of the month, which means I’m linking up with Coco and Deborah for the Ultimate Coffee Date! I’m drinking Earl Grey tea (obviously) out of my favorite mug, which was a Secret Santa gift from Birchie a couple years ago. The big news this week is that my son Paul, and future daughter-in-law, Isabel are here!!! So far I’ve failed to take any decent photos- here’s one they sent from the airplane. We’re still getting to know Isabel, but she’s a very lovely person. She helped me make a cake for Muffin’s birthday! Yes, Muffin turned six on April 1st. We decided to make a carrot cake, but then my son said we obviously needed to turn them into muffins. Um- if you put cake batter into muffin tins, that’s called “cupcakes.” He said “They’re muffins until you put frosting on them!” Yes, Muffin would have licked all the frosting off if I hadn’t stopped her. Since it was her birthday, I gave her a little frosting on her own plate. The last thing I would share over coffee is, in an impetuous and optimistic moment, I signed up for the 2027 Hungryland Ultra! This is the same race I just ran. Registration for next year’s race opened April 1st, and they offered a discount on the first day. Okay, I’ll do it! Next year it falls on the day before my birthday, but if I run a fifth loop, bringing my mileage up to 71, I’ll still be running on March 21st. Pretty cool, right? Well, either cool, or crazy, depending on your perspective. What would you tell me over coffee? Do you like making carrot cake? – I HATE grating the carrots! Luckily Isabel was happy to take on that task. Top photo by Henny Kasa on Unsplash
