Yep, same coffee cup as last week. :)
So, the first thing I would tell you over coffee this morning is tonight...is my cookie exchange. I should be wild with frenzy because of all the things I have to prepare. But strangely, I'm not. That is a very good thing. I plan to finish this blog post and march upstairs and get cooking.
I would also tell you that yesterday was my Dad's birthday. We went out for dinner and on the way we saw about 12 cop cars. That is not a lie or an exaggeration. We saw six speeding down the highway and they had surrounded a semi farther down the road. I'm sure it will be in the papes today. Then, we took a wrong turn in a neighborhood and saw about six more at a house. Coincidence? Connection? I don't know but it was very interesting. My Dad is sooooOOOO awesome. I love him so much. There were lots of laughs at dinner, too.
The last thing I would tell you is that tomorrow will be 13 years since my Mom was diagnosed with leukemia. Our world was pretty rocked and that is a very nice understatement. The farther we get away from her illness, the more I am grateful for the gift of my Mom. So unbelievably grateful it makes me ache sometimes.
What would you tell me over coffee?
Linking up with Amy...

what a lovely photo! parents are such a blessing - i love my daddy to pieces (he'll be 70 in march) - but sadly my mum's been gone since 2000...
thanks for coffee :)
Happy Birthday to your dad! and good luck with your cookie exchange. I like how you put "the further your get away..." about your mother's illness. I imagine that everyday/moment you have with her is special.
Wish I could have my parents so close. My family live in Poland and last time I saw them (in person) was almost 4 years ago! You're one lucky gall!
I would tell you that I'm planning a trip to see a friend in January...:) **excited**
i love your header, i don't know if i have said that aloud or just in my head ; ) thirteen years must feel great, the farther away the better. your dad's birthday dinner sounds like it was a lot fo fun!
Wow. Praises that you are moving away from that illness. Grateful for moms, for sure. Thanks for stopping by my blog series. SO happy to meet you. :)
