Feels like huddling
’round a mug of fresh coffee
on a chilly morning

    ‘All that I am
    All that I see
    All that I’ve been
    And all I’ll ever be…’

    Hot cocoa for me in the morning
    Hot cocoa for me in the evening
    Add a little splash of Bailey’s
    or a big splash of Kahlua!
    YUM! ☕️
