Coffee Anyone???

Coffee Anyone???

I love the smell of coffee, the taste of coffee ice cream or frozen yogurt, but I’ve never liked coffee itself until just a few years ago…I’ve acquired a taste, but not to drink it black! A little non-fat milk and sweet n low will do the trick or my favorite is a Vanilla Latte (non-fat).

Kim from http://silentlyheardonce.wordpress.com/2013/01/21/coffee-anyone tagged me and I’m actually very late in following through. Please forgive me, Kim. I’m not good at these anymore!

However, since I enjoy meeting friends for coffee these days, I couldn’t pass this up, so here we go…

1) How many cups of coffee per day? One cup, but not necessarily everyday…

2) What is your favorite caffeine delivery system? Well, I love chocolate, dark chocolate, but any chocolate will do, in addition to my coffee favorites (and no whip on the vanilla latte)!

3) What was your best cup of coffee? Our local coffee house is really good, Pete’s Coffee, and it’s there I’ll indulge in my favorite, but Starbucks is convenient, too! There’s been too many great cups to remember just one!

4) What was your worst cup of coffee? Any cup without a little sweetener; I love sweet things in life! ♥

5) What does your favorite mug say? I have a new white mug that my daughter decorated for me. It says “Lauren’s mug” on one side and “Coffee or tea?” on the other, with hearts and happy faces around it. She made a mug for herself, too, after finding the idea on Google.

6) How do you take your coffee? I’m repeating myself now, but a little non-fat milk and sweet n low…

7) When was your first cup? Many years ago, in my younger years!

8) Have you ever gone on a coffee tea date? Not when I was dating (over 25 years ago), however, once or twice a month, I’ll meet some girl friends at Pete’s. I might be crazy, but I love the ambiance in coffee houses…the aromas, old friends catching up, new friends getting to know each other, and of course, the vanilla lattes! There’s just something about talking over a cup of coffee or tea that is appealing to me. I have to admit that I’m in Pete’s more than I should be, so I know everyone by name and they know me. That can’t be good! 🙂

Okay, now it’s time for the invitations…well, there was just no way I could narrow them down to a select few, so if you’re interested, come along, enjoy some coffee, great friendships and send out your own invites! If coffee isn’t your “cup of tea” then that’s fine, too! Just so you know, I’m thinking of you all! ♥

With love and hugs,

Lauren

Happy Heart Day! ♥

Here’s a Valentine wish
for my hubby to whom I’m smitten
and to all of you
who peek at what I’ve written,
to my dearly missed Mom,
it’s been a year since she’s been gone
to my family who support me,
they’re as strong as the sea

Today isn’t just a day for lovers,
It’s a day of love that covers
everyone who adds
color to your life,
lessens the strife,
adds calm to your crazy,
brings life to your lazy,
and adds love with a hug.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

With many x’s and o’s,
Lauren

The Cards We’re Dealt

On January 11, 2013October 29, 2015 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Dedications, Health, Life, Melancholy53 Comments

We sail through life smoothly
until a wave knocks us down
with no means for escaping
no turning around or backing away
We’re still caught in the aftermath
of that dismal day

The best move is to dive in head first
We may get hurt
where our emotions could run so wild
that our souls would be fully drained
from the collision of shock,
new found pain

Where tears could fall so long and hard
that face muscles would begin to dance
and our happiness would be scarred

Our only choice then,
is to move forward
We must learn to deal
the hand we’re dealt
and consent to acceptance

With weeping more infrequent
and the embracing of strength
Our eyes will open to the light and follow
allowing Hope and Faith
to enter our hearts once again

Dedicated to my family
with all my heart. ♥

Blogging Break and Prayers Needed

On October 8, 2012 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Health, Life, Melancholy57 Comments

Dear Friends,

My family has received some life altering news
that we’re still trying to process and therefore,
I won’t be blogging for awhile. I’m not sure how long
and I will miss your wonderful talents,
but I wish you an abundance of peace and happiness.

I also ask that you hold my family in your prayers.
They will be greatly appreciated.

Much love,
Lauren

Copper’s 2nd Birthday Limerick Trilogy ♥

On September 27, 2012September 27, 2012 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Dedications, Limericks, Pets30 Comments

There once was a dog named Copper
He had pearly whites in his chopper
but harmless was he
Wouldn’t harm a bee
His eyes were big heart stoppers

II.

Six months ago, we brought him home
and watched him while he roamed
He sniffed around
without a sound
then laid down with his bone

III.

His new home is his comfort zone
You wouldn’t believe how he’s grown
More like a horse
threw us off course
but how would we have known?

We’re very lucky to have adopted another wonderful dog.
Copper is a great addition to our family and
he’s a big lovable baby! ♥

These are first attempts at writing limericks.
I hope you enjoyed. They’re fun, but challenging.
🙂

In Loving Memory of Mom

On September 15, 2012 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Dedications, Family, Life, Love, Mom93 Comments

When I think of Mom, I think pink
Cherry blossoms in the spring
I think elegance and grace
and I envision her beautiful face
Her smile would warm others for miles
When I think of Mom
I’m saddened to know
I can’t call her and hear her “hello”
but I can see her
clearly as the garden from my window
and each day she graces my memories
while my love for her grows

Mom ~ June 1921 – February 2012

Happy 21st Birthday to My Daughter ♥♥♥

On September 3, 2012 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Birthdays, Dedications, Family, Life57 Comments

You were a bundle of baby powder
so sweet smelling and cuddly
with rosy lips curved
into the perfect infant smile
that was only the beginning
of our hearts melting

Your beauty became more apparent,
not only on the outside, but on the inside, too
Your heart grew big enough
to share love around the world
You were an adorable little girl
Then within days,
You became a gorgeous young lady
ready to take on the world

You are the moon at it’s fullest,
pouring light over us
on the darkest night
and a country melody
just right for line dancing

You are the brightest sunflower
adding color to the garden of life
or the white stallion
prepared for any challenge that greets you

You are a dolphin,
gliding gently through life with grace
or shimmering sterling silver
Your soul never to tarnish

Our daughter, our creation from love
Now Twenty-one
“You’ve got the world by the tail,”
Your Grandpa used to say
So move forward with passion
and make your own way
