It’s time to sit down once again with a beverage of your choice and chat – I’ll remind you that I don’t like coffee or tea so my drink of choice today will be water. Let’s chat about things other than just running, cycling, training, and complaining about our most recent injuries. Sound good? I’ll go first…
If we were having coffee…..
I’d tell you that Baby Bean arrived just over a week ago and we are completely in love! Our oldest son and daughter-in-law welcomed a baby boy into the family and Bill and I can’t get enough of him. He’s perfect and snuggly, and I’m loving every second of being a GiGi. We’re so lucky that they live close by and we can visit often!
If we were having coffee…..
I’d tell you that my other son and his fiancée gave me this little plaque that I set in the kitchen window.
If we were having coffee…..
I’d tell you that we’ve added a new bike to the fleet. When I found this brand new balance bike for a steal of a price on NextDoor when the baby wasn’t even a week old, I snatched it up!
If we were having coffee…..
I’d tell you that one of my clients brought the cutest little gift for the baby – a dumbbell rattle.
If we were having coffee…..
I’d tell you that I’ll stop while I’m ahead and not bore you with any more talk about my new grandbaby.
And finally, if we were having coffee…..
I’d ask if you have any real or virtual races coming up, and if you do, I’d wish you good luck and remind you to have fun!

Today I’m joining Deborah at Confessions Of A Mother Runner and Coco at Running With Perseverance for their monthly Ultimate Coffee Date linkup which goes live the first Friday of every month. Be sure to stop by their blogs for a cup of coffee and to say hello; and while you’re there, be sure to check out some of the other bloggers who are participating in the linkup.
- Questions:
- • Any other Grandmas out there? If so, what’s your grandma name? My mom is GaGa so I thought GiGi would be fun.
- • If you drink coffee, for summer do you drink hot coffee or iced coffee?
- • If we were having coffee, what would you tell me?
Congrats GiGi! No photos? I’m sure you are over the moon. I can’t wait to hear more!
Thanks, Wendy! As hard as it is, we’re not sharing pictures on social media; however, I’m sure eventually there will be pictures of him running or biking away from the camera.
Congrats on the grandbaby! LOL on the balance bike — I’m sure he’ll grow into soon. 😉
Thanks, Coco!
huge congrats to all of you! That is wonderful news. That little bike is just adorable too! Enjoy your Bean time. Hope Pablo is not too jealous
Thanks, Deborah! We are enjoying time with him, and in fact, we’re visiting now and I’m working on my blog while he naps.
Huge congrats to everyone!!! It was so exciting to hear the news 😉 I love the dumbbell rattle LOL
Thanks, Kim! The rattle is great, but I cracked up when I read that it’s for ages 3+. What 3-year-old plays with a rattle? LOL
Oooooh! I don’t blame you one bit- if I were you, the baby would be the only thing I could talk about! Feel free to post pictures! My kids are 18 and 12 but I’m already looking forward to grandchildren.
Ha ha… LOVE the dumbbell rattle! That’s hilarious.
As hard as it is, we’re not sharing pictures on social media; however, I’m sure that eventually I’ll share pictures of him running or biking away from the camera. And yes, the dumbbell rattle cracked me up, too!
Congrats! What fun stuff — the barbell rattle, the bike, the sign. I think you have every right to gush. 🙂
Thanks, Judy!
Aww Congratulations on becoming a Gigi! Your excitement and pride shines through on this post!
