Coffee Klatsch

Yesterday morning in what felt like a throwback to the Sixties, four Saunderstown moms of fourth graders decided to have coffee together. "Brewed Awakenings" was discussed, but we ended up in my kitchen once it was revealed that two dozen homemade blueberry-banana-bran muffins had just come out of my oven. Most of the mugs were chipped, and all had blueberries painted on them, in three different china patterns. Discussion topics included our children, home renovations, underwear, and jobs---okay, so it wasn't exactly like the Sixties.
After everyone left, around 10 a.m., I found I was just as productive as on those days when we all disperse immediately upon Bus 19's driving off with our kids frantically waving and blowing us kisses.
