It's a chilly raining day here. Join me with a cuppa tea, some Papa Haydn, a good book and a butt load of choice sweetness.

Life is good.

I am currently doing a ton of name tags in calligraphy as a request at my job.

I enjoy coffee and tea at equal measures.

I just have not heard of Papa Haydn before, though it sounds great within the context.

One word description: Elegant

I believe Mozart called him Papa because he was the go to master of the art.

Coffee in the morning for the jump start, tea in the afternoon for the relaxation.

Sometimes it seems that way. I'm a big fan of the movie "Chocolat," however.

that's true. But even excellent European chocolates aren't that appealing to me. I somehow lost my sweet tooth along the way. I can't get excited about coffee, either.

Today, as is the case every day, I consumed mass quantities of this Food of the Gods. But I still have 16 minutes to continue my celebration. Thanks for the heads up hobbit. Cheers!!
