Morning Conversation

As Earl and I sat on the sofa this morning drinking coffee...
Me: "You have to take Vicky to work (yay she got a summer job!)about the same time you usually make me breakfast."
Earl: "Uh huh"
Me: "Maybe I could have breakfast a little early this morning"
Followed by uproarious laughter from both of us. lol. I really am terribly spoiled, and there are perks to having him home. Gee, I'm going to miss him when he finds work:>) We are doing ok. God is providing. I have faith that things will pick up. In the meantime, he makes my breakfast before work and we have morning coffee. Might as well enjoy the sunshine together:>) (Breakfast was delicious!)

How sweet! That reminds me of my Stevie. He makes my coffee every morning before he goes to work. He goes in earlier than I do. He brings it to me, singing the song "Good Morning ,Beautiful". Isn't that sweet? I think that I have that song on my playlist on my blog.

I love your wicker couch and cushions. Very pretty.
Hugs,
Lee Laurie

I loved listening in on this sweet conversation. A little snippet of your life. Earl is a sweet man, isn't he? You guys have a good life.

I am fortunate too, that my sweet hubbie makes me coffee every morning. He sets out my dishes, silverware and napkin, slices my bread for toasting. He is a morning person, I am not...it works wonderfully.

My hubby is the designated coffee brewer each morning. Only he can make good coffee...I don't like mine at all! It's great waking up to the smell of coffee!

Yay for Vicky finding a job! Where is she working?

Cracking up over Earl thinking he has to work on being articulate. Good one!

Do you think Clarence will make me breakfast every morning if/when he's out of work? Hmmm, I'll have to make sure he reads this. ;-)

I love visiting your blog, but am not very good about commenting. Love this photo and your story. My DH makes the coffee every morning, even though he doesn't drink it.

I hope your situation improves. Your attitude is such a blessing to those of us who come over here and visit.

Counting Your Blessings said...

Yes, we're both spoiled, spoiled, spoiled. Isn't is scrumptious?!!! I LOVE having Steve home. He's working now but working from home. We're able to continue French Cupboard and we tag team all day with the kids and their school work.

I'm praying with you for work and rejoicing with you at the luxury of having your husband home!

Have a lovely Thursday. Blessings... Polly

You think like I do ;-) My hubby has been cooking his breakfast since he's been working from home the past few years. He cooks for me when I want the same breakfast, or I fix my own. We are comfortable with the routine we have fallen into. I'm glad to know you are doing OK. I think of you often and hope the economy will improve. You are handling things with beautiful grace.
