Good morning, friends. It’s hard to believe it’s Sunday again!  This week went by quickly.  So happy to have you join me for a cup of tea!  Let’s chat.  🙂

If we were sipping tea and talking I would tell you: on the spur of the moment, I decided to share my book, “Short & not always Sweet“, on Instagram and Facebook.  Now, this book came out in March of this year, but it’s taken on a whole new life!  That feels pretty darn good.  🙂

If we were sipping tea and talking I would tell you: we got to take care of another sweet pup.  This time, we got to walk Vanilla. She’s a corgi and such a love.  Just look at that face!!

When Lys has overlaps with pups, we try to help her out so she’s not running in all directions.  What fun Vanilla was!  We even visited her last night, and she wrapped hubby around her paw in no time!

If we were sipping tea and talking I would tell you: I am slowly returning to a somewhat normal writing schedule.  Some days, I’m just not feeling it, other days it just flows.  I guess that’s how it is for most of us.  How about you?  Do you find you start and stop?  Is it weather change, or something else that gets in the way?

If we were sipping tea and talking I would tell you: tomorrow, the 28th, is my birthday.  I’ll be 59.  Another year around the sun.  I am so blessed, in so many ways.  Hubby will have to wait a week to use his favorite line on me. “Wait til you get to be my age.”  bah!  He turns 60 on November 4th.  So technically, we are the same age for a week.  lol  After that, I’m sure I’ll be hearing it often.  🙂

If we were sipping tea and talking I would tell you: I spent part of Saturday at my favorite park, Sunnybank, just watching the lake ripple in the breeze, and a lonely piece of driftwood caught my eye.  Do you ever wonder what inanimate objects think?  Was it saying, “ah, this is the life” or “Holy cow, this water is cold!” or perhaps it is sad that it is no longer.   Think about it.

As for the week ahead:

If we were sipping tea, basking in the sun and talking I would tell you: it’s birthday week! Fun times ahead. The only thing I asked for was a cupcake from my favorite bakery.  I’m easy to please.  No gifts, just something sweet.  🙂

If we were sipping tea, basking in the sun and talking I would tell you: Thursday is Halloween, when all the kiddies get to dress up as their favorite characters!  Trick?  or Treat? Hmmm, I’ll have to think about that.

If we were sipping tea, basking in the sun and talking I would tell you: it’s off to church I go!  Staying after to checkout our basket supplies for the upcoming WOW Christmas Fellowship Brunch.  Always such a wonderful time! Be well, and have a blessed week, my friends!  ❤
