So this is a Cyber Cafe What'll be?

For breakfast morning I think I will take those blueberry pancakes with real maple syrup, cool whip and fresh blueberries on top again. They are soooooo good last time. I also need a nice big mocha with an extra shot of caffeine this morning.

It's so nice sitting here outside. I don't typically get a chance to eat breakfast outside by a pool.

Breakfast at the cybercafe! Viktor, I’d like a table out on the patio by the pool, please. Oh, this will be perfect. Ahh, this coffee is wonderful. I can’t decide between the blueberry pancakes or the cranberry orange muffins. What’s in the pastry basket this morning? I think I’ll have a Southwest omelet with a sliced orange on the side. I see some cranberry orange muffins in the basket so I’m all set.

It’s a bit too chilly to sit outside at home this morning. It’s sunny, but 43 degrees feels more like winter to me (aside from the fact that the deck is in the shade in the morning). We’re expecting a sunny and very windy day in the high 60’s. I won’t be out on the deck though. The carpenter bees are back and those girls are BIG. I’ve been begging Sweetie to replace the railing boards with Trex. I don’t think the bees would be able to bore into the composite boards to lay their eggs. I haven’t seen any snakes yet, but the warm weather is coming. The dogwood trees are blooming and the iris are budding. I’m hoping to see more buds on the irises since we trimmed them back in the fall.

Zzyyggy, I think the brownie is a good choice for dessert because you need some chocolate after the day you’ve had. It doesn’t sound like a fun day. A brownie sounds good to me, too. Brownies, coffee, and sunsets—what a great way to end the day.

Viktor, how are you today? I see Angf out by the cyberpool, I’m going to be joining her. Besides, I’m sure Zzyyggy will be by for an afternoon swim. I see that Igor and Jorge have put the pastel umbrellas out on the tables for Spring. It’s so cheerful and Jorge has planted beautiful gardens on the terraces. I’d really like to sit at the table with the pink umbrella because it matches the ribbon on my hat perfectly. Oh, yes, I’ll go ahead and order now. I’d like the antipasto plate with my favorite little cheese crackers and a pitcher of iced tea, please. I was very tempted to order the crab salad on a croissant, perhaps I’ll order that for dinner. I bet key lime pie would be good for Sunset Dessert.

I had beautiful gardens where we used to live. (We moved 18 years ago.) Anyway, I planted tulips and fed the deer and moles and voles and whatever other critters decided to feast upon my beleaguered tulips. I think the squirrel that lived in the hedgerow across the street was the one who delighted in pulling the tulips out of the ground. Then I discovered daffodils. Those poisonous little beauties bloomed every year and were left undisturbed by the critters. 😁

Ah, yes, Zzyyggy, cat on the keyboard. Yup, been there. It’s when the cat decides to share your cup of water, tea, or coffee that you realize the cat owns you.

The sunset here at the cybercafe is gorgeous tonight and my key lime pie is delicious. I’m going to try to get to bed earlier tonight, but I think I’ll sit here for a while and read my book.

Hi, Angf. I see you’ve found the alcove lounge in the dining room. The chairs and couches are so comfortable. You have the choice of sitting by the fireplace or by the french doors with a view of the orchards and the fields beyond. Plus, those cozy chairs are actually recliners even though they’re not big and ugly.

I’m just passing through on my way out to the terrace. I’ve decided to spend the entire day out there in the gazebo. I am not doing laundry or vacuuming and certainly not going grocery shopping on a Saturday. I’m not hiding or anything like that, it’s very relaxing to spend time at the gazebo. Jorge is managing the kitchen out there today. I saw him stocking Zzyyggy’s ice cream freezer earlier this morning. Jorge makes excellent sandwiches. I’m going to order roast beef on a Portuguese roll with Swiss cheese and all the extras. Of course, Viktor makes all the drinks, so I’m sure he’ll be right there making an iced mocha for me.

ZZyyggy, I will take nice and bright. You can keep the snow where you are. Where I live in Nova Scotia we don't have any. I am more then ready for spring.

I came back for supper. After a busy day at home doing 5 loads of laundry (spring cleaning) and cleaning and grocery shopping, I need a good supper. I will take a meat lovers pizza with garlic fingers and Mountain Dew to drink. For dessert I will take the 6 layer chocolate cake with some chocolate ice cream and chocolate milk to wash it all down. This is the only place I can indulge in my chocolate, which should be it's own category of food, as in my personal life back home I am trying to cut back on the sweets.

It’s Springtime here.

I was trying to get the sunrise this morning without getting my neighbor’s house, plus my two white irises are just below the edge of the photo. It was a bit darker and the sunlight was more orange, but photos tend to be brighter.

Sweetie is out mowing the lawn. We have grass that’s a foot high out back. We had dinner already. It was early today. I’m ready to sit back and relax at the cybercafe. Should we spend the evening on the terrace? Viktor has my favorite iced tea with mini scoops of lemon sorbet cooling the tea and I ordered a selection of cookies for dessert.

Zzyyggy, you got your swimming in! Yeah! I wouldn’t mind having a sister breakfast and shopping excursion, except that would be a long trip. Angf, I’m so sorry that you had a horrid day. Update nightmares definitely need chocolate. Zzyyggy makes sure that the cybercafe is always well stocked with medicinal chocolate. Francois has a secret collection of comfort food recipes sure to cure a bad, horrid day. I would order breakfast or macaroni and cheese or biscuits with chicken and gravy or chicken and dumplings (the flat dumplings that look like noodles, not the big lumpy ones).

Oh, and chocolate. There are multiple kitchens at the cybercafe—this place is like Dr. Who’s Tardis. Francois has a kitchen just for chocolate. The gossip is that there’s a chocolatier who makes all of the special chocolates, but no one has ever seen them. I like to start with the simple things though. That’s why Viktor keeps a bucket of M&M’s just for me. The M&M’s are all in individual serving sized packages. You’re welcome to have some M&M’s anytime. The motto here is “if you can dream it, you can eat it,” so I’m wishing you sweet dreams.

Viktor, I’d love a big crunchy M&M’s candy cookie and a coffee, please.

@Zzyyggy That is only a tiny portion, the computer stand. The rest has client files (Cannot take a picture of that) Your cat tree/condo is so nice! My Wesley would love it! His smaller as I don't have room for a bigger one.

@LindaK125 My Sister-in-Law made the dumpster fire. I found the other one on Temu. The verse is now a picture on my wall and I need to remind myself of that daily.

I think I need to stay here and wish I was in a warmer place in real life! It was so cold this morning, I was regretting packing away my gloves! Tomorrow we are to get up to 5cm (that's about 2 inches) of snow/ice pellet mix. I'm going to have to dig the winter boots I put away back out! I should know better. I live in Nova Scotia.

For a late lunch today, I think I will have a double bacon cheeseburger (no onions please) with seasoned french-fries and Mountain Dew to drink. For dessert I will have a nice big slice of blueberry pie. I will eat it outside in a little shade. I am so pale, I don't want to get a sunburn.

I saw Betty’s (Betty Crocker) email this afternoon and the blueberry slab pie looked so good I figured I order some at the cybercafe. Everyone wants blueberries today. Blueberry crumb pie and coffee for me tonight.

Zzyyggy, I can understand why Ramona’s tired—she had a very exciting day yesterday. I can’t believe you guys are still having snow and ice. Yikes! It’s supposed to be 84-89F degrees (28-30C) for the next four days here.
