...a happy day...

This day must be recorded!!!
I have lived here for 2 years 2 months and about 2 days...
This morning, for the very first time,
I got asked to 'go for coffee'.
Ok, some of you are going- so what's the big deal.
Well anybody that lives where I come from knows that the words 'go for coffee' or ' come for coffee' are regular words heard and/or said any where from 1- 8 times during a normal week...
I have surely mentioned, many times how much I miss that- that coffee time. Sometimes coffee, sometimes tea, sometimes pie, sometimes just words... visiting, talking, encouraging; loving... really.
It's not really done here, I don't know why,  maybe people are to rushed or may the whole 'lets go for coffee' just isn't up their line... I for certain know it is NOT for the lack of coffee shops around- there is plenty of them...
So today is a happy day. I am basking in the after glow of a pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks and time spent with a newish friend...
Happy Saturday.

      it's comforting in its own odd way, right? to know there is some one else some where who feels like we do? that is proof that We can do hard things. ♥ glad you're here:)

    I know the longing feeling of just wishing that I could 'go for coffee'!It's a rare (capitalize rare) occasion! There's hardly coffee shops around tho either :( Good for u that U've got a friend to go with! Now I realize that maybe the people in this country don't know what that above mentiond phrase means also, as to why it seems they don't hardly know what I mean. Ah... AB thing? :) :) :) ha ha ha..... family type????.

    Jennieee...I totally get this!!! I miss my friends and coffee together...brings me to tears just thinking about it! I did have a neighbor lady that liked having coffee and a chat together but she moved away too....waaaa waaaaa(sounds like poor pitiful me....now I feel better and can smile cause I wrote that...) So now I have coffee and toast by my lonesome...except for the days when it suits someone to chat at the same time as it suits me...
