Truly a festive time of year and you have a lot to celebrate this year. I can't function without my morning cup of coffee but there's nothing in it by eye-popping caffeine. Nicely done. Marilyn

Good morning, Patty

I enjoyed reading the poem. Sounds like you're enjoying a very casual day and with Bailey's Creme in your coffee cup all but confirms you will. Loved the picture.

Take care and stay safe,

Ray

Hi, Ray;
Thank you for indulging me in my 'casual' day. Tuesday and the rest of the week are full of errands and paperwork on the new house, but I'm doing well.

Good morning, Patty: Hey thank you for the great idea. I must admit, I never add anything to my coffee except cream and sugar but those two additions sound really delicious. I am going to have to try this and I will let you know what I think. (lol)

No, but really, I am going to try it. YUM! This post is great and I love your poem, good job...(I'm smiling now)

Hi, Tier;
I bet you will LOVE Bailey's in your coffee - especially if you regularly use cream and sugar. This is the same thing - just with a little more 'kick.'

I'm going to look forward to the extra kick in my coffee. Milk and sugar will become a sometime-y thing. (lol)

Sounds like a great plan to me, Patty. I might follow suit with the Christmas movies and coffee. Because I am rarely home these days, staying home is a luxury for me.

Thank you making a simple Christmas so exciting. Nicely written. :)

Hi there;
I hope you get some time off during the holiday season. It is so nice to take at least one day to yourself before jumping into the myriad of preparations of this time of year,

Hi, Dolly;

Yesterday was such a great day! And then today arrived with its errands and appointments. Oh well - I think I have another clear day tomorrow --- there's still some Baileys in the fridge,

Hi, patti. Maybe it was your cup with 'something extra' that my squirrel found so good! I think the reason your penning is so well loved as subject matter, is that people can identify with your warm open hearted sharing of your life. Well done.
Hugs, Trisha

Hi, Trisha;
You know, when I saw that little fella just lapping up that coffee till the last drop - I thought the exact something!

Thank you for your kind words - I do hope my readers feel a connection to me, and it seems like it works,

What a delightful poem about this time of the year, Patty.

I have no idea what a Disaronno is, but I'm all with you on the Baileys Creme. Here in Germany I tend to prefer the Glühwein (hot mulled wine) or an eggnog drink from the Netherlands called Verpoorten. I've already gained a few pounds just from all the freshly home made gingerbread and sherry-drenched fruit cakes!

Oh, BRW, I LOVE that OCD mug...

Hey Aki;
Disaronno is an Italian liqueur. It is kind of like brandy, and it has a smooth consistency. I have to be careful with it because it just tastes good and not like anything alcoholic. (very easy to overdo it.)

Thank you so much for reading and reviewing - I promise to start reading your next new project.

Thank you so much for the lovely review. Yesterday was such a nice day, but now I have to face a day full of errands,

LOL! Love the mug. And the poem. Sounds like you are calm and ready for the hustle and bustle, which is more fun than work, I think. We don't do much for any holidays with the kids grown and moved across the country. Will be quiet, but nice. :)

Hi, Phyllis;
How are you doing? I had so much fun today - I did absolutely nothing except take care of the dogs and watch movies; with coffee cup in hand.

tomorrow will be another story...

reply by Phyllis Stewart on 04-Dec-2017

Doing okay, considering. Doctor appt tomorrow and follow up on four scans on Friday. What fun! But I have an easy life just sitting here at the computer. Peaceful. And my doggie is always at my side. :)
