Weekend Coffee Share: Sunday November 29, 2015

#WeekendCoffeeShare was created by Part Time Monster. I’m so happy to participate again!  I made an extra pot and I hope you’ll join me.

If we were having coffee…

I would tell you what a wonderful time we had in Birmingham, spending time with my family for Thanksgiving.  There were years after my grandmother died when we were estranged and barely spoke, so it means even more for me to have their love around me today.

How was your Thanksgiving?  I hope you spent it with people you love and I’d love to hear all about it.

We got home from Birmingham yesterday and started decorating the house for Christmas.  David’s been working all day today to get the wreaths and garland up to decorate the outside of the house.

I go into work tomorrow and into a month of Holiday Hell scheduling everyone else’s Christmas parties, but I’m holding on to the thoughts of wonderful holiday times we’re planning for ourselves, and that will see me through it.

If we were having coffee, I’d ask if you did NaBloPoMo this year, and what were your experiences?

I’d tell you that I participated for the third year this month and have made it all the way (well, there’s tomorrow’s post, but too late to drop the ball on that one!

I’d tell you how much, once again, it meant to me to be a part of such a warm, engaging and supportive group of bloggers.  I’d tell you how lucky I felt again, this year, to be a part of Team Tiny Peppers (Nanopoblano) and I hope, work allowing, to still enjoy their writing and thoughtful comments and encouragement once November passes.  They have a “value beyond rubies,” and have brought a lot of happiness to my life.

If we were having coffee, I’d ask you to be sure to come back next week! There may be cookies!

I’ve greatly enjoyed your company and look forward to many more coffee times together!

I’d also like to thank Nerd in the Brain – I’ve enjoyed her “if we were having coffee” posts so much, it inspired me to brew up a pot and join you all!  I hope you have a wonderful week!
