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, strength training, yoga, and complaining about our most recent injuries. Sound good? I’ll go first…

 

If we were having coffee…..
I’d tell you that I made christening gowns, slips, and matching bonnets for each of my sons for their baptisms. I was thrilled that my son and daughter-in-law wanted to let Baby Bean wear one of the gowns for his baptism. The gown I’d made for his uncle (also his godfather) fit better so that’s the one he wore. I did have to replace the elastic in the sleeves – after 31 years, it lost its elasticity when I washed it.

 

If we were having coffee…..
I’d tell you that I cracked up when my daughter-in-law sent us this meme just before the baptism.

 

If we were having coffee…..
I’d tell you that I’ve started a new weekly Instagram stories post. Each Wednesday, I’ll add at least one Walked into a Bar joke to my stories. I know they’re corny, but I do love a good Walked into a Bar joke and this post just happens to be the most frequently visited on my blog.

 

If we were having coffee…..
I’d tell you that a few weeks ago I watched a lady nonchalantly let her big yellow dog poop next to the bluebird house in the common area right behind our house and just walk away. I first noticed her from my kitchen window and walked down to the lower deck with one of Pablo’s poop bags in my hand. Since Bill was grilling, I walked over to Bill to tell him something while keeping an eye on her and when she turned to leave without picking up the poop, I ran down to the yard. As soon as I saw that indeed there was a big fresh pile of steaming poop, I bagged it and started chasing her while yelling, “Excuse me ma’am, but you forgot to pick up your dog’s poop!” By the time I’d gotten past the trees I couldn’t find her. She and her two dogs must have sprinted away to avoid embarrassment!

 

If we were having coffee…..
I’d tell you that Pablo’s humans’ (our youngest son and his fiancée) had an out of town wedding to attend so we got to watch the little guy for the weekend a few weeks ago. When we took Pablo with us to visit our oldest son, daughter-in-law, and our baby grandson, Pablo was jealous and whined whenever Bill or I held Baby Bean.

 

If we were having coffee…..
I’d tell you that my oldest son and I took Baby Bean to the farm to visit my mom for three days last week. Needless to say, Mom was thrilled to meet her great-grandson and I got precious pictures of her holding him plus a wonderful four generations photo. The normal drive to the farm is about six hours and adding stops to feed a baby just extends the trip. Baby Bean did great and only fused about ten minutes in each direction.

 

If we were having coffee…..
I’d ask if you have any races coming up, and if so, are they still being held live or have they switched back to virtual? No matter what type of race you might be running, have fun and stay safe!

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:
  • • If you have a pet, does it get jealous?
  • • Have you ever chased someone down for not picking up after their dog?
  • • If we were having coffee, what would you tell me?
