Gratitude Sunday # 7 Coffee and Tea

It's Sunday and I'm joining Susan at A LA CARTE for another Gratitude Sunday. I am thankful this week for my daily coffee and tea times with my husband. Now that we are retired and no longer in retail, it's so enjoyable to have our unrushed coffee time in the mornings. No more commuting for us! 
I appreciate having the time to talk over the week or the day or anything else each morning.

In the afternoons around 3 PM, if we are both home, we take a tea time break together. We've only been having tea in the afternoons since before Christmas and it's really become a nice habit. We are enjoying a Bachelor Button tea from the Butchart Gardens of British Columbia from my friend Lisa.  I like having tea instead of coffee in the afternoon and Jimmy is getting to try out lots of tea. So far, he seems to enjoy the black teas the best. It's been fun and I'm thankful that we have more time together a couple times a day. Retirement is a big blessing! We are really busy and the weeks seem to fly away, but it's nice to be on our time and our schedule. Have a great week blogger friends!

Monday, Coffee and My Project Notebook

Good Morning! It's Monday and a brand new week. I do love my tea, but have to have a cup or two of coffee in the mornings to get me going. I was looking at clip art and I found coffee and newspaper combos and had to chuckle. It's a cup of coffee and my computer when I wake up. Guess someone should make some new clipart for us.

Jim's show was a giant success and he was very pleased. He is tired today and sure needs to rest and do nothing for a day. The old winter EAST WIND is blowing hard again so it is a good day just to stay inside.

I haven't talked about my PROJECT NOTEBOOK before. I love keeping one to help me organize my weeks and I like having a place to write down things that I NEED to do and WANT to do. I am retired, but I'm a busy person, so my days are still very full. This is the my second planner and it is fun to keep them and look back over the pages to see what I accomplished. It's also a place where I can put my wish lists and dreams. It's filling up for the week already. Need to pick my dad's quilt up from the longarm quilter, coffee with a friend on Tuesday morning, Bible study on Thursday, Tea Time Thursday, and I have another Valentine project I want to start today. Etsy seems to find it's way on each page.

I hope you have a great week ahead! Stay warm and cozy. Spring seems far away right now.....
