Peeps at Poet’s On The Square coffeehouse. From left: grandson Knox, hubby Neil, daughter Kelly, niece Julia, grand daughter Shelby, sister Jane, niece Sarah, and grandson Elijah. We don’t get to gather here very often, but when we do, we have loads of fun. And yummy coffee and frozen goodies. Hope we get to do this again soon.

Day Three Hundred Seven 2012

THANK GOODNESS IT’S  FRIDAY!

Grandson Elijah went to school this morning. He was doing fine until he decided to take a ride down the slide on the playground which caused his blistered bottom much distress. (For those of you who have not heard, on Halloween night he sat down on a Styrofoam cup of scalding hot apple cider and burned his little fanny which earned him a trip to the ER.) His mom brought him to Granny’s house and slathered on some Neosporin. He requested lunch at Burger King (where they have Mario toys in the kid’s meal). That Neosporin is good stuff! And a BK crown helped ease the pain, too.

Not to be outdone, daughter Kelly wore her crown while driving through lunchtime TGIF traffic. And only because her dad refused to wear it on the way back to work.

Meanwhile, back at Granny’s house, grandson Knox discovered the stairs. And our electricity went off for some reason right when we got back from lunch.

Kelly decided she wanted/needed some yummy coffee, so we headed over to the corner coffeehouse on the town square instead of sitting at home in the dark. I really liked this bumper sticker on the car we parked beside.

Kelly got her latte, and Elijah enjoyed some hot chocolate (but not too hot) with some homemade whipped cream, while Knox entertained the couple behind the couch, and Elijah regaled them with the story of why he wasn’t in school today.

While we were there, we listened to vintage vinyl Hank Williams on the record player (Don’t Think Twice). When that song ended and another one began, Elijah was surprised and said, “There’s another song on there?” We told him there were lots of songs on there. And on the flip side, too.

In God We Trust now adorns our courthouse which is all right with me. Others don’t like it. I’ll never understand why some folks are offended by God.

Neighbor Kitty Lily paid a visit. She hangs out on our porches often, especially in cold weather.

It’s good to be king.

Looks like Elijah is the only family member in focus in this blurry cell phone camera pic. We looked forward to supper at Ocha Thai food deli all day long—hubby Neil, granddaughter Shelby, daughter Kelly, grandson Knox, daughter Holly, and grandson Elijah. We enjoyed their good food and had some fun, too. Hope your TGIF was awesome!

Day Ninety Two 2012

Peeps at Poet's On The Square Coffee House this afternoon: niece Sarah, sister Jane, daughter Kelly, grandson Knox (his first visit here), niece Julia, and grand daughter Shelby. We enjoyed some tasty cool (and hot) drinks and just hanging out for a little while on this most beautiful April first. And that's no joke.

Day Two Hundred Sixty Eight 2011

POET’S





Enjoyed a yummy frozen hot chocolate with my peeps at Poet’s On The Square this afternoon. It’s always fun to get together here and chat and laugh and be silly (which means being our usual rowdy selves). A great way to spend some time on a gorgeous Autumn day. Peeps at Poet’s rock!

Labor Day Weekend has been a washout weather wise with lots of much needed rain and cooler temperatures, but that’s OK. Today was a great day to hang out with Peeps at Poet’s On The Square coffeehouse and enjoy yummy drinks and each other’s crazy company. We  had to keep borrowing chairs from other tables as the nine of us packed ourselves around two tables. I always enjoy the time we get to spend together here and looking forward to doing it all over again ASAP.

Day Two Hundred Twenty Six 2011

Had some spur of the moment fun with peeps at Poet's On The Square coffeehouse after lunch today. It may have been a coincidence, but for some reason the place cleared out after we came in and sat down and started making noise. Oh well. We can't help ourselves. Maybe there's something in those tasty frozen drinks that brings out the random silliness in all of us, which results in a whole lot of laughter and (loud) fun. We haven't been there in a long while, so I guess we were making up for lost time. Anyway, it was fun as always so let's do it again sometime. Soon.

Day One Hundred Forty Two 2011

Got together with my coffeehouse peeps this afternoon at Poet's On The Square. We enjoyed some tasty drinks (too tasty in some cases) and shared some laughs and brought grand daughter Shelby to tears discussing our dearly departed beloved pets. We learned some important facts: never blow dry a hamster or overfeed a goldfish (unless you want it to explode). We never know where our conversations are going to take us. Always a good time here with this bunch. I especially needed the laughs. We'll do it again soon, I hope.

Day Sixty 2011

Grandpeep Shelby is hooked on Dolce Cafe hot chocolate, and grandpeep Elijah is hooked on Angry Birds. So daughter Kelly, son in law Kerry and I hit the Dolce Cafe this afternoon and treated these two to some kid-sized hot chocolate and a little Angry Birds action on Uncle Kerry's iPad. Good fun (in quiet tones) and good coffee, too.

Day Fifty One 2011

We had to scrap our plans to take the Grandpeeps roller skating again today since their parents came back from their trip earlier than we expected. Daughter Kelly and I took granddaughter Shelby for a quick trip to Dolce Cafe. Shelby had never been there before. She got some hot chocolate and loved it. Snapped this pic of her with my cell phone camera in the Solaris color setting. Isn't that the look of love? Dolce Cafe does have very tasty drinks. Nice way to end our weekend together. Now, look out, here comes Monday.

Day Forty Four 2011

Coffeehouse Peeps met at Poet's On The Square this afternoon for some tasty drinks and some lively conversation. Topics of discussion ranged from Bieber Fever to summer road trips. We were rowdy as always but that's okay because it's that kind of place. I always enjoy our crazy fun times at Poet's! I heart you all!!

Day Thirty Five 2011

The Dolce caramel latte--looks good enough to drink, doesn't it? It was! Daughter Kelly treated me to one of these pretty lattes at the Dolce Cafe coffeehouse on the square here in our little town this afternoon before she and her hubby Kerry headed back home. A hot tasty treat on a cold and gray winter's TGIF.

Day Thirty 2011

Peeps at Poet's On The Square this afternoon: niece Sarah, niece Julia, daughter Kelly and grand daughter Shelby. I always enjoy being with my coffeehouse peeps for a couple of hours of chatter and laughter and of course tasty drinks. These ladies rock! Looking forward to the next time.

Day Nine 2011

We always have big fun at Poet's On The Square right here in our town. Left to right: daughter Kelly, sister Jane, niece Julia, grand daughter Shelby, daughter Holly, and niece Sarah convened in the back room of Poet's for a couple of hours of sipping tasty treats--like frozen hot chocolate and mango orange smoothies (the best ever!)--while we generally misbehaved. We had the room to ourselves, so we didn't bother too many other coffee customers, and we left it the way we found it. Sort of. We did steal a few moments of fun. But don't tell anybody because this won't be the last time.

Day Three Hundred Thirty 2010

I got to spend a couple of quality hours with some quality peeps this afternoon at our coffeehouse hangout of choice, Poet's On The Square, right here in downtown Cookeville. From left to right: my sister Jane Foy, daughter Kelly Kimbrough, son in law Kerry Kimbrough, grand daughter Shelby Myers, niece Julia Foy, niece Sarah Foy, and daughter Holly Myers. We enjoyed tasty beverages--some steaming hot, some frosty cold--and lots of laughter and discussions on a variety of interesting topics. We are such a cerebral group. No, really. Good times, always!

Day Three Hundred Twenty Four 2010

What a gorgeous day to sit out on the patio at Starbuck's with daughter Kelly, who treated me to a Caramel Brulee Latte, a most delicious and decadent holiday treat. It's always a sweet treat to hang out with Kelly. Thanks for the latte! Love you!

Groovy times. Great memories. Let's do it again. Soon.
