Virtual Coffee

Happy Peace Day! And, Happy, Happy Virtual Coffee Day, too! How are you today? I'm good. I'm just feeling really behind on stuff lately. Would you mind bringing your cup of coffee outside with me, while I clean out my garage?
I know that doesn't sound very appealing, but you don't actually have to come into the garage, and I won't ask you to lift a finger either. I have this cozy chair you can sit in (notice I said sit in rather than sit on...yes, it's just that comfy). It belongs to my lovely neighbor, but she won't mind...we share.
It's really nice outside today, too. You can bask in the sun, while we chat...
So, what's going on with you this week? I've been thinking about what Griffin's going to be for Halloween this year. He loves pigs, so I was thinking a pig, but that reminded me of the pink bunny costume in, A Christmas Story, so now I'm thinking a pig is out. Last year he was one of the Grateful Dead's dancing bears...

I know, wasn't he cute! My mom and I made it. Well, she did all of the sewing. I did the design, and the details. I don't mind sewing by hand, but sewing machines and I don't get along. It's one of those things I wish I could do...oh well, maybe someday. Do you like to sew?
Thanks for coming out here with me. Can I get you some more coffee? I know! It's mocha. I'm living dangerously these days. :)
Did I tell you that I started writing again? I did. It's a little bit like pulling teeth, but it's something I need to do. There is a story inside of me that wants out, so I'm not going to argue. I'll have to show you the children's book I wrote a few years ago. I sent it out to a handful of publishers too, but I didn't hear anything. I'll dig it up, and you can tell me what you think.
Hey, do you want this air hockey table? I found it at garage sale in the beginning of summer, and the kids loved it for a day or so...
You know what? It's too nice outside today to hang out in the garage. Let's go look at my neighbor's garden instead. I'm really glad you came over for coffee today. It was nice talking to you. I hope you'll come again next week. Maybe we could take a thermos to the park or something. That would be nice.
Have a happy day!

Love the Dancing Bear costume, so cute and I have been a Grateful Dead fan for over twenty years or so, so yes, love that costume! : ) I have been thinking about costumes as welland would love to get away from the whole princess thing with the little one but not sure that's gonna happen!
