Our last day in March we decided to do some errands. Despite the fact that it was snowing again (yes, more snow, because after getting 115 inches of the white stuff this year we haven’t had enough!) Hubby wanted to look at some fruit trees, and I needed to do some grocery shopping. Because Greta is still in the throws of her heat, we once again brought Arnie with us. This cute little boy is getting to be a joy to travel with.
We went and looked at the fruit trees and then stopped at a computer shop to look at scanners, and while Hubby spoke to the sales representative, I went next door to Borders Books and stood in front of the coffee counter. Can I tell you how wonderful it smelled? Oh dear!
“Excuse me, how do you make your Mocha Java Coffee?” I asked.
“We use double chocolate fudge sauce.” the girl replied.
“Oh.” I said feeling lost and forlorn. “Could you make me an Espresso with some skim milk?”
“Are you on a diet?” she asked.
“Yes, Weight Watchers.” I replied.
“Listen, let me make you a special Cappuccino.” she said. “Do you use Splenda or anything?”
“Yes.”
“Go an get the packets you need over there and I’ll make you something really special”.
So I went and got the packets of Splenda at the help yourself counter and brought them back. I could hear the machine whirring and frothing and soon she presented me with a cup of sheer delight!
“It’s only got 1/4 cup of skim milk in it, but it looks like more because it’s been frothed, I hope you like it.”
I put the cup to my lips and sipped. Oh my absolute Heaven! It was soooo good! I tipped her well. What a nice person she was, and that was the best Cappuccino I have had in a very long time!!!
Hubby and I did our grocery shopping before coming back home and getting ready for Bernie’s second visit.
The poor boy is working so hard to win over my fickle female, and the exhaustion was showing. Greta was a bit more receptive today and I think we came extremely close to calling it a home run. Personally, I think Greta likes the idea of scoring a home run with Bernie on April Fools Day! I think it appeals to her slightly strange sense of humor.
So Bernie will come here on April Fools Day in the late morning to try to woo her again.
Bernie and Greta
Ohh Greta come on girl you know you want to be a momma again…let poor Bernie snuggle up close 😉
Hi Maribeth
I only let myself make one trip (or less) to Starbucks a week. My favorite is the soy latte. It is better than one made with milk! Enjoys your snow, I wish we had a little. Love Michele
I am following this love or rather heat story with eager lol ! That’s far better than human love stories. And a first of April as conceiving day is really something special !
Fingers crossed for april fool’s day!!
They make a handsome couple! Get to it now Greta!!!! Maybe Bernie needs to throw her over his shoulder and up the grand staircase to the bedroom and TAKE her. Oh that is from an old movie! Anyway Go Bernie!
Go back to Borders and marry that girl. Or adopt her. Kidnap her. Whatever, just take her home and keep her to yourself forever! (I can come and visit then, right?)
Awww…he is so cute! She’s just holding her cards near the vest. She’ll come around!
I almost feel like a voyeur, waiting for them to “do it” hee hee….
Good luck today!
Good luck! this is more exciting than the best soap opera!!
Hi Mom,
