<p>Excellent! Just what I needed.</p>
<p>Yum - crepes and a hot tea for me please. Got a big 1-day work week ahead of me. Vacation starts at 5!</p>
<p>Hi - first time caller here! I just need to keep off my feet today after hosting the latke party yesterday with family. Straight coffee and maybe just a lemon seed muffin. Although if anyone would like to drop off a croissant with strawberry jam I wouldn’t say no!</p>
<p>Welcome, Marilyn. And here I was thinking it was going to be a slow day!</p>
<p>Good morning. 
Had a great week, I hope? Last day of the season for the virtual coffee cart and then a possible reappearance on special occasions. </p>
<p>Going with the usual, jasmine tea for me (love my new teapot). And you? </p>
<p>Stopping by this Monday morning happily doing some work from home! I brought along my new travel coffee mug from my favorite local coffee shop (virtually, there is no such thing as competition, right?) so I’d love that filled up with my favorite Chai Latte!!!</p>
<p>Good morning all! Already finished a pot of coffee. Doing better than usual with all my kids and their significant others taking off after the holiday to go back to their homes or to the other set of parents. I must be getting used to it. I’m washing all the sheets and towels. That keeps me busy and keeps my mind off missing them all so very much.</p>
<p>It still stays dark so late. The sky is beautiful right now, shades of light and darker blues with a hint of muted violet and gray. I have an appointment this morning, then plans to move forward on a new project. Enjoying the quiet for now.</p>
<p>Sounds lovely Deb T! A new year, new project??! </p>
<p>Deb: you are a great role model I’m going to quit moping and get busy:)</p>
<p>Something from here:

<p>I haven’t determined what yet. The nursery wasn’t open yesterday, but I’m hoping it will be today. The place is huge. I’m thinking starting flowers or veggies from seed indoors, and I might want to get a wooden planter box, raised? – some of those are so cool, for the veggies to live in later. I loved some of what I was seeing on the links that were provided. It’ll depend partially on what I find in person. It’s early, early so I may end up with mondo 'mateos growing in pots again.</p>
<p>If I’m really inspired I’ll find the easel and paint. I still have a number of moving related to-dos that need to happen, too. Some of those are fun, others not so much, lol.</p>
<p>Looking forward to the “Gardening 2015” thread…! </p>
<p>Last round is on me. Just brewed a fresh pot. Closing shop here in a few minutes.</p>
<p>Wanted to take a moment to say thank you, it’s been fun. :)</p>
Good morning! Since I’m getting myself a cup of tea anyway, I’ve decided to roll out the cart. I love the way it auto restocks. Even if I’ve never heard of the beverage before, this puppy manages to come up with something! Here to warm up the room on this chilly morning.
Good morning Deborah T - glad to see the cart this morning. First week back after a break - need some extra motivation. I’ll have a triple espresso!
Oh gawd yes, I need caffeine. I’m supposed to be working on a project for work and I’m using every trick in the book to procrastinate.
Alrighty, smell that triple espresso! Whew! That is strong! Let’s get this show on the road. 
Procrastination coming right up! One of the specialties of the house.
I’ll take that triple espresso. Any good suggestions for a protein-filled breakfast snack?
I’ll take a triple too! We have a snow day here because of the cold.
