May Runfessions

Posted on May 28, 2021 by Coco

Welcome to the May 2021 edition of the Ultimate Coffee Date. I’m still staying safer at home, but with my second Pfizer covid vaccine dose doing its thing with my immune system, I am ready to make plans for some in-person coffee dates and lunches—outside—soon.  No matter your vaccine status, Deborah and I are happy to host you at our virtual coffee date. We just ask that you visit other blogs in the link up.
