Christmas begins.....

My first November post.......how did half a month go by so fast! My mind or rather my memory is not working well these days. Well, Christmas season officially began for me yesterday when John and I, while on our way to Save-On Foods, stopped in to Esquires Coffee. We sat down with our treats and I raised my cup to his and said " here's to Christmas and our first coffee together". He looked at me and said 'we were here not that long ago for coffee, what are you talking about?' I looked back at him, puzzled. He says that we were there, but for the life of me I can't remember the occasion. He remembers it vividly because he is a new lover of the bean and that outing was memorable for him. Oh, we've been in coffee shops together many times, but that was his first ordering a 'coffee' at a coffee place. I am sorry that I don't remember that momentus occasion for him, but I just don't. He tells me that he enjoys my homemade brew so much more than what he has in coffee shops and at work. And while I appreciate the compliment, I very nicely remind him that it doesn't mean that we won't be going out for coffee anymore. He said that he knows that, but he likes my coffee the best, sitting with me in our cozy, comfy livingroom, with music of our choosing and all the privacy we could ask for. sigh, swoon.......what a guy I married.
