Get Well Wishes....FMS611

 



I had to buy this set with the sweet thermos bottles because it brought back memories of oh so long ago. I don't drink coffee but I love the smell of it - it woke me up for many years! My parents both worked and carried a thermos of coffee every day.  My dad would get up first, make coffee, fill each thermos and put them in the lunch boxes that my mother had packed the night before.  Depending on the weather my thermos would be filled with milk or hot chocolate.  Wow ancient history!

I am not a good cook but I am great at buying gift certificates at our local soup and sandwich shop.  At my age I have many friends getting new knees or hips these days so this card is perfect to tuck a gift certificate inside.






I always love Jen Mitchell's square sketches! Have fun with it at Freshly Made Sketches!



The fall/winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop is happening this week!  Always a fun hop!

LOve your card and your sweet memory, Linda! I have the best joke about a thermos - I'll save it for when we have coffee/cocoa together! [she said with hope in her heart x]

That's a cute thermos and your card is wonderful! I'm not a coffee drinker either, Linda and like you enjoy the smell. Memories of my parents silver colored drip coffee maker are still vivid!
