Weekend Coffee Share

If we were having coffee . . .

I’d tell you that over the past couple of weeks I’ve been on an emotional roller coaster.

I called home during my lunch break as is my custom, but I was greeted with the news that my uncle – my mother’s brother – had passed away unexpectedly. Not exactly what you call home for. And as I am searching for plane tickets home it becomes abundantly clear that I won’t be going to the funeral. I couldn’t fathom spending nearly $600, albeit round trip, for a plane ticket. And no it wasn’t first class. So, I told my grandmother and knew I was being summoned when she said she would pay for it. Needless to say I didn’t take her up on that offer. I’m glad I went because it was an awesome home going. It was definitely a celebration of life. Good ole down home southern style home going.

If We We Were Having Coffee. . .

I’d tell you that a lot of good things happened this week and quite a few wacky things – enough fodder for a few blog posts.

But the best thing that’s happened is my grandmother turned 88 years young today. So, I would be remiss in not saying happy birthday grammy and I miss being able to hop in the car and drive 20 minutes to see you.

So, on that note this week’s coffee share is all about the positive.  Continue reading

If we were having coffee. . .

I’d tell you the past couple of weeks were rather hectic. If it wasn’t one thing it was another – good, bad, and other.

I’d tell you I’m finally making progress on getting my car out here. I have the title and insurance, now I need to get my tags and find a shipping company that’s not going to charge me two arms and two legs and want my first born.

My name is coming up quickly on the list for my building’s parking lot. Although I like Zip Car it’s getting a bit expensive and I’d feel more comfortable Continue reading

A Little Bit of This and A Little Bit of That

I went to Cincinnati for my uncle’s funeral. It was a wonderful celebration of his life, his achievements, the role he played in he community. There were so many things I had forgotten and so much more that I didn’t know about him. I’m really glad I was able to attend his going home celebration; however getting there and coming back was somewhat a comedy of errors. Continue reading
