The price of coffee has rocketed like everything else. 😦
Once (or twice) my husband prepared the coffee the night before and forgot to put the coffee in. Enjoyed a tasty cuppa hot water the next morning.
Another time he forgot to put the water in. I turned it on in the AM and went about my business. I think that was the year we got a new Mr. Coffee.
That is the greatest quote! My wife and I were traveling and the day we flew back I didn’t have any coffee and it was like an old friend didn’t show up to brighten up my day! Oh and I am writing this with a hot cup next to me now@!
I will not tell you what coffee smells like to me because today I’m being a lady. I am a dedicated tea drinker. You enjoy your coffee and I will enjoy my tea.
You must have been searching around my head for a topic. For the past several weeks, I’ve been training to stretch myself between the time I get up and the time I make my first cup of coffee. I now know that I can, barring a major snowstorm requiring cleaning off the car first, make it a mile away to the convenience store to get a cup of coffee if for some reason, I can’t have the nectar of the gods within the first 4 minutes of being awake!
I used to drink 4-6 cups of coffee every day, for most of my adult life. Then last year, I stopped liking the taste of it, and switched to tea. I don’t miss the coffee at all. That surprised me.
Best wishes, Pete.
That photo brought a tear to my eye. Hope you had a backup plan!
