I tried some new creamer Sunday, Vanilla Toffee Caramel. It’s my new favorite, and I add a little coffee with it to warm it up. I use regular coffee, but add some plain old cinnamon and it jazzes it up. We had an impromptu breakfast at my folks place, and there was 17 of us! Lots of fun and talk, weather was so great the kids (and the big kids too) were out flying kites. Success was getting them all back out of the trees.

FIB, I have some medical questions. Can I ask your opinion? My mom has surgery next Monday to remove a cyst from her lumbar area that has pinched off the feelings down her legs and her feet are numb. The MRI also showed some areas of arthritis that is narrowing the nerve flow, but he feels that he should remove the cyst first and see how much she recovers and then if needed go back in to scrape the arthritis. She is 75, mostly healthy and active and loves gardening, surgeon feels two smaller surgeries would be easier to recover from than one big surgery. Is 2 surgeries better than 1? Of course I am a wreck, it’s my MOM!

Seeing that Jeff hasn’t been here on his new thread since last year, let’s just keep threadjacking...maybe he’ll see the activity and come see what’s up at his house. He does owe me pie and coffee, so all this coffee talk does sorta fit in.
