If we were having coffee, I would invite you into the warm kitchen. I’d serve you some fresh oatmeal raisin cookies with your breakfast blend coffee or Earl Grey tea.
“I’ve been baking cookies all morning for my dad. Oatmeal raisin are his favorites,” I would tell you as I place a plate of them on the table.
If we were having coffee, I would complain about how cold it still is in April. The few warm does are overshadowed by the cold night temperatures.
“I hear some areas in the US are even getting snow today and tomorrow,” I would say.
If we were having coffee, I would tell you how excited I am about the A2Z and how I am doing it on two blogs – As the Fates Would Have It about People Who Inspire Me and Promptly Written with Science Fiction flash fiction.
“I’ve also been writing poetry and drabbles,” I would confess.
If we were having coffee, I would tell you how horrible my sleep patterns have been. Most days I am lucky to get 5 hours of sleep.
“I hope you don’t mind if I cut this coffee break short,” I would say. “It’s getting close to time for me to rest.”
I would wrap you up some cookies to take home with you and wave goodbye at the door as you leave.
“Thank you for having coffee and a chat. I will see you next week,” I would assure you.
If we were having coffee, what would YOU tell me? Let me know in comments!

As the Fates Would Have It 
Oh, oatmeal cookies, hooray! Hope I am not too late for them. 🙂
I’m participating in A to Z as well, and it’s keeping me pretty busy! I can’t imagine trying to do it on two blogs. Good luck!
*W00t* never too late for cookies, Diana! I wrote and scheduled the ones on this blog ahead of time. So technically, I am just doing the one 😀 Will be stopping by to check out your A2Z!
Oatmeal cookies to go? You rock.
*laughs* thanks Cyn 🙂
Those cookies were delicious. Thank you! I’m found A to Z this year for the second consecutive year. My theme is Abuse. I will try to remember to come by your blogs to check them out. If you drop by my blog and leave me links in comments, I’ll be sure to stop by with those handy links.
Thank you, Corina! I will pop over to your blog today!
I am out of A to Z this year, but I have done it by myself and also done it with a multi-contributor blog where we started planning for it in September.
Best of luck, and do finish the challenge!
Welcome to the coffee share.
Thank you, Gene… I’m having a blast so far
Thank you for the hot beverage and cookies! I, too, have been having trouble sleeping and am hopeful for a good nights rest tonight! I wish the same for you 🙂
My pleasure, Melissa! Sorry you are having trouble sleeping.. I hope we both get some rest! Thank you for stopping by 🙂

Oatmeal raisin cookies have been a favorite in my family for years. I don’t think it has been coverted to a GF recipe yet. The big so called secret is pumping up the raisins with water first and using the raisin water as liquid. I will try and put the recipe on my blog this week. Please remind if I forget. It was first used inthe late 1930s.
Sorry your sleep patterns are poor, mine have been that way for many ears.
Oh that sounds like a great recipe, Betty! I look forward to the recipe when you have time to post it 🙂 Thank you!
Do you mind sharing your cookie recipe with us, or just me one day? 🙂 Or can it be found somewhere on your blog already? It would be a great post 🙂
Oh it is just the recipe on the Quaker Oats box 🙂 I just add a tad bit more cinnamon.
Aw, I don’t think that I will be able to find that box here… Or maybe one with revenues for the French market or one overpriced in wh smith… Mmm
If I get a chance, I will copy the recipe into a post ..may not happen until May though.. got a busy month for April.
