My man and I came downstairs early one morning to enjoy our morning coffee together before the rest of the gang awoke. A simple ritual that I highly recommend if you love coffee and you're lucky enough to live with someone who loves it as much as you do. Those first few peaceful sips are the best!
I took a sip. Heaven in a cup. He took a sip, looked at me and said,
"This is what's right with the world".
Absolutely.
...and if you're a coffee drinker, you totally know where I'm coming from!
Andrea, You Couldn't be any closer to the truth ~ Sweet Pea!!! Especially strong Coffee ~ Come on over to my home and I'll brew you up a fabulous cup!!!
Have a great day ~ Tricia

Yes!! My husband and I do that every weekend. It is the best!

I must agree completely! My sweet husband makes coffee for me every morning. It just doesn't taste the same if I make it myself! It's a sweet little gesture that makes me feel cherished. And wakes me up too!

Well, I'm no coffee drinker, but loves me some hot cocoa! Different drink, same need for quietness, sweet aroma, and comfort!
So glad you're all doing well.

Oh Andrea I love my morning coffee, afternoon coffee and evening coffee. Unfortnately, your Uncle has trouble finishing a six ounce cup of coffee. Your Grandma has a funny story about his coffee drinking. He purchased a cup in Westerville, drove to Akron and asked to heat the almost full cup up when he arrived at her house.

Andrea, this is really a sweet post! I'm not the biggest coffee drinker in the world, but I can appreciate a good cup and that biscotti doesn't look too shabby either.... I must know, does George drink from a cup this pretty too? After the kids are asleep, Frank and I like to sit down at the trable and enjoy dessert.... no plastic bowls or character cups in sight.
