Welcome to the October 2026 edition of the Ultimate Coffee Date—a blogger link up Deborah and I host the first Friday of every month so we can catch up on all the things as if we were having coffee. Yesterday was my 38th wedding anniversary, and work being what it is we will be celebrating this weekend.

Anniversary Coffee Date
If we were having coffee, I would tell you my anniversary didn’t really sneak up on me, but I’ve been so swamped at work I haven’t had time to think about it. Since we got married 5 years after we started dating, we’ve actually been together 43 years!
From our 20th 💕
I’ve also been blogging long enough to have an anniversary-ish post from our 23rd and the photo above from 2008. Maybe this weekend we will put on our lederhosen kits and get out for a ride!
If we were having coffee, I would tell you that since I got back from Ireland I adjusted my morning routine to stop at Starbucks on the way in. It’s a bit of a hassle and probably adds almost 10 minutes to my commute, but for now it’s worth it. I hear they are closing 250 stores this week, but this neighborhood store is not on the list I saw.
I’ve also upped my order to a venti
although I often don’t drink it all.
Talking about closed Starbucks, if we were having coffee, I would tell you they did take out the Starbucks in the Safeway in the same shopping center. I don’t shop there, but it has a Quest where I get blood drawn for my thyroid checks. I went there twice last month and it was only on the second trip that I noticed it was gone! 🤦♀️
If we were having coffee, I would share this cute puzzle I finished with a scene from Copenhagen.
I had to get it done because next week I’m going to Copenhagen for work. 😎 I’m kind of bummed my client meetings didn’t align with Carianne’s trip, but I’ll catch up to her one of these days!
Do you have an anniversary tradition?
