Well, I hope you all enjoyed International Talk Like a Pirate Day on Sunday! We had a blast, we went to church all dressed up, then joined a few other families to build cardboard boats and "sail" them to the park! Can't wait until next year.
I would be negligent if I didn’t supply a means for everyone to get their morning cuppa joe!
Large Coffee Double-Double = Sling me a jorum of java, me hearty. Twice the tooth rot and double the butter broth!
Coffee with sugar and no cream = Make a java sweet as love and dark as the night!
Black Coffee = Brew mine pure n’ shimerin like obsidian.
Finally, not to overlook our tea drinkers out there… you know who you are:
I would like a large cup of tea = I’ll be needin’ to get meself around a mutchkin o’ scandal broth!
DRINK UP!
