I know exactly what you mean about retirement...it is amazing isn't

🤔yes☺️

 

[Kiwi2016]

did i say? nope! oops! hey @Kiwi2016 , (its getting like the good ole days with cafés opening lately. love it. glad it keeps on going... )
thanks for the invite....

👽

Yes alas as you may have noticed...I'm good at opening and then...will....seem to wander away leaving the doors open...so glad people pop in! And will try to get better about checking back...

 

[Kiwi2016]

Thank you for the tag @Kiwi2016 . The coffees looks delicious. 🩷 I'll bring some snacks tomorrow. 🥑🍳🥞

Errands and some work on painting today, for me. Spring was in the air thism morning, but then a wind came and chased me inside. I managed a tiny, humble weight workout before dinner. Today I was a warrior inside, just letting myself be, and if I feel sad and ssentimental for someone who doesn't care for me, then so be it. Into the fires of creativity I go. Or, something like that. 💫

Also, I got new runners today.

err, um, after @BarryW 's visit to your lovely veggie tray we need another one please @Lane 😋

Isn't it wonderful when spring is in the air even if for a bit when the sun is out....

Thanks for opening and thanks for the tag @Kiwi2016
Tired today because I doubled at work last night. They let me swap this evening's shift for last night's overnight since someone called off, and overnights are typically the most chill shifts so I don't mind.
Wanted to go get some Rita's Italian ice because they just opened back up for the season, but it was rainy and gross so after I went to Rite Aid, I just went home. I'll bring some Rita's for the cafe though!

Heyy, thanks so much for opening the cafe for (oops, yesterday now, sorry I guess that makes me a bit "late" lol) and for tagging me @Kiwi2016

Love the pics posted by you, Inno, BarryW, Lane and Baywasp, all awesome! My "weekend plans" didn't consist of much other than getting groceries. Did that yesterday so now today is just a lazy day for me, lol.
Hope you and everyone else are well and enjoying the weekend, and for those who aren't, I hope things get better very soon

PS - Oops almost forgot, I will share a pic or 2 here too, hope you/everyone enjoys them

It's been a while since I visited that ecards site you showed an image from. So I went and found another one that seems reasonably appropriate for this thread.

An old picture.

That is absolutely stunning!!! Can almost hear the waves and feel the beach under my feet!

 

[Kiwi2016]

Thanks for opening and inviting me @Kiwi2016. Here's a veggie tray for all to enjoy. Congrats on your retirement 🎉. I had pretty decent plans today, went to farmers market in the morning then to St Patrick's Day parade in the afternoon. Hope all SF members are doing as well as possible today.

OMG...that is so cute!!!

 

[Kiwi2016]

I don't have much planned this weekend. I have a cold so just wanting to rest and doing low key activities. Hope everyone is having a nice weekend.

Hope you are feeling better soon...

 

[Kiwi2016]

So far just resting up from the last two long days at work, overtime city is approaching. So, other than the typical household chores just being lazy, catching up on sleep. I hope that all are having some fine times and a easygoing weekend.

Hope you had time to rest, restore, and relax!!!

 

[Kiwi2016]

Hello thanks for the tag, not a lot of plans, just school and work. Hope everybody has a good one!

Hope some time to just simply be as they say,....

 

[Kiwi2016]

Coffee is one of those things I never acquired a taste for and not caring for hot drinks, but good unsweetened iced tea is a favorite.

Yes I do always forget the tea option....will remember for next time

 

[Kiwi2016]

Will have to check out that Rita's Italian Ice...used to live in Delaware where it was the thing for some reason...hadn't thought of it for years....

Rita's originated near Philadelphia, so that's reasonably close. I grew up with Rita's in Lancaster County, PA. Always a nice treat when my family would go. I made it out today and got cotton candy flavored ice.
