Empty Nest for a Few Days ⛺| Coffee shop thoughts

Greetings Coffee and Café Lovers,

We took the boys to school this morning as for the first time they'll be away from us for a few days. Unlike other days, they had to go by car as they had to carry huge bags which they needed for their three-day trip.

After taking them to the drop off location, we stopped by a nearby coffee shop sampled some pastry (Can you figure out which one we ate?) along with a cup of tea (guess the tea?).

Being on our own has become an unfamiliar experience for us as we have become accustomed to having our children with us primarily because we have no other relatives here in Japan.
Who would have thought it would come to this as we sit here at the coffee shop spilling out beans about this unfamiliar situation.
It appears we were going to have the apartment all to ourselves at least for the next few days. The peace and quiet is probably going to be deafening without our boys who, unknown to people outside our family, can be surprising noisy at times.

Of course the other parents at their school will be in a similar situation. What ever shall we do?

Well we'll have to figure that out after having some of this delicious pastry with our regular chai tea latte. Sweet potatoes are in season so the pastry of choice is the Sweet Potato Danish. Can you say yum? 😋 I almost chose the cinnamon roll but decided to try something different in keeping with the theme of our current situation.🤣🤣

Now to figure out what else to do with ourselves for the next three days as we are, at least for the time being, empty nesters.

Stay connected, stay healthy.
