Mommy "Poppy"...

Just a little cup of "poppy"...

Mmmm, delish!

Mommy, would you like to try some?

Not bad, I could get use to this!

Anyone who truly knows my mommy,

knows she loves her coffee.  

(She lived in Seattle for 4 years, peeps- what do you expect?

At least she's not still wearing flannels and docs!)

Every morning she makes her special cup of joe 

but on Fridays or on a "treat" day she goes to Starbucks. 

(We realize this is not the best coffee in the United States

 but it is convenient- 

It is in walking distance and it also has a drive thru!)

Last week after gym we jotted over to Starbucks 

for mommy's usual skinny vanilla latte.

I got a milk and mommy 

put it in a grown-up cup just for me.

I looked like I was drinking a "poppy" like mommy! 

Who could resist a few snapshots of this?

We were very excited to see they had their holiday cups out...

This reminded mommy of her teaching days.

She use to go on Friday mornings 

before school to pick up her "poppy!"

And all her teaching pals would be so happy 

when the holiday cups were out~

These cups are a tradition for mommy. 

We can't count on snow in Texas so 

we mark the holiday season commencing with a Starbucks cup!
