had a great time with my buddies…
we usually meet every week, but over the holidays we didn’t gather, so I was very happy to see them today;-)…
had a fun time preparing the coffee, setting out pistachios and digging out some cookies to share…
we always have a good time when we gather…
excellent start to the new year…

together at last;-)…
last night I made coffee, set out cushions on the deck, and watched some Olympics while I waited for my BS friends…
everyone is now two weeks since being double vaxed and we met outdoors… one was away, but everyone else turned up in person…
it was the first time we’ve been physically together for our Monday evening gatherings in more than eighteen months…
I was pleased that the coffee turned out as it had been a very long time since I’d made any, but apparently the muscle memory was there, lol… and they told me it was good;-)…
we’ve been meeting via Skype each Monday, but it just hasn’t been the same…we’ve also found that we could only meet in that manner for about an hour as it is so much more tiring…
what a treat to be together… we had snacks, laughs and lots of chat…
after everyone left, I took a wander around the garden as the solar lights came on…
a delightful evening…

had a wonderful day… treated to a manicure and lunch with a very special person…
after our manicures we went a few doors down and had lunch… she started with a fancy cup of coffee and I asked for a cup of tea, but they don’t have tea on the menu… something about doing things well, and just focusing on coffee…
we shared a yummy cauliflower, roasted sweet potato and kale salad… then I had a carbonara pasta topped with shrimp… very tasty… she had a pizza named after a person, lol…
as we ordered our dessert my friend asked for plain coffee and was told they only make the fancy type… so, no regular coffee or tea… odd…
after we finished lunch, I headed home and spent the afternoon deep in a book… another treat as I haven’t done much reading lately…
final treat of the day was having the cleaning crew come and freshen up the house…
very nice end to the Easter weekend…
