Nothing better then a chance to slow down and catch up over a mug of coffee (or tea if you prefer). So I’m joining Coco and Deborah for the monthly Coffee Date. Settle in, grab a comfy chair, and let’s chat a little, shall we?
If we were having coffee together, I’d tell you that I’m just not enjoying Mother Nature’s little weather joke! After an unusually “warm” February, March proved to be colder than any month this winter – what’s up with that?!?
If we were having coffee together, I’d tell you that believe it or not hockey is still alive in my house! You may remember the last time we got together for coffee I was looking forward to wrapping up the hockey season. Well, who knew that our team would start playing inspired hockey in the playoffs! We finally head to the championship game late this afternoon.
If we were having coffee together, I’d tell you that I’m so excited to volunteering at the Boston Marathon again! I’ll be returning to the finish line area, which was a blast last year. Can. not. wait!
If we were having coffee together, I’d tell you that we’re getting a puppy! After losing our beloved German Shepherd last June, it didn’t take long for our family to decide we wanted to get another dog. We knew we wanted another Shepherd but decided to get a sable this time.
So what would you tell me over coffee?
I can only imagine how cool it is to volunteer at the Boston finish! How fun! We are deep in lacrosse season here and I’ve been freezing my butt off on those bleachers.

I wish our lacrosse season could start sooner – I feel like our season is so short!
So happy for the new addition to your family! Lots things to look forward to!
Thanks Kathleen! As you can imagine the boys are over the moon 🙂
Enjoy that new puppy- fun! I want one! 🙂 I think it would be so cool to volunteer at the Boston marathon- jealous! Good luck at hockey today!

I’ve volunteered at a lot of races but Boston is truly a special experience for sure!
Have so much fun volunteering in Boston! You’ve got the best spot! Your new pup is adorable. Our Bichon turns 17 this month and my youngest daughter is already hedging to get something “younger”. Ugh. Yay for the hockey team! I know it’s a grind but still…

This will be my 2nd year in the finish area – just so cool to be there! Wow 17 yrs old that’s great! We’ve so missed having a dog around the house.
Oh, yay on the puppy! And on the hockey – both making the championships and it being almost over. It must be so cool to volunteer at Boston!
Thanks for joining us for coffee!
Thanks Coco – lots of good stuff going on 🙂
Congrats on the addition to the family! Puppies are so much fun but so much work! But so worth it.
I have to believe volunteering at Boston is so amazing!

Definitely a lot of work…and fun. Boston has such an amazing vibe – it’s a lot of fun to be a part of it!
It must be so cool to volunteer at the finish line of the B.O.S.T.O.N marathon!!! I hope to at least be there in person one time to volunteer or cheer on people.
Boston is so much fun to spectate too! Hope you get to see it live at some point.
Cutest puppy ever!
I am SO ready for winter to be over. This no-pattern weather (cold today, 80 tomorrow, raining and 30 the next day…) is killing my motivation!
I know what you mean – I really need spring to show up and stay awhile!
Your puppy is adorable- and so fluffy looking! Doing the finish line at Boston will be amazing I am sure- I cannot even imagine how exciting!

Thanks I think he looks like a little bear cub 🙂
Volunteering for Boston would be almost as exciting as running it (in my opinion). Good for you! I’m always excited to hear of runners paying it forward (and giving back?) by volunteering 😉

This will be my 4th year volunteering at Boston – it really is something special!
So cool to volunteer at Boston, and at the finish line! Have a blast! Look forward to reading about it.
It’s never easy losing a baby, but loving another one is going to be great for both you and the new puppy. Congrats and good luck with your new furry friend!

Thank you Shannon – we just can’t wait for the fur-baby to arrive!
It sounds like your hockey team peaked at just the right time! I hope the championship game went your way!
Your new puppy is adorable!

Thanks Deb! The kids played their hearts out…and won 🙂
Aw Your new puppy is so adorable. I also have one and it’s fun to play with him but sometimes he’s too mischievous. Sounds great to know you to volunteer at the Boston Marathon. Good luck.
