26. my first cup of coffee

Wed Aug 5, 2015, 09:51 AM

Aug 2015

grandma drank coffee all day every day but she was old by the time I knew her and she didn't like brewing it because it was just too much trouble so she used instant. She drank hers black but for me she basically counted out about 10 grains of instant coffee and put it in the hot water with enough milk and sugar that you could barely tell it was no longer white. I just loved that sweet drink in the little fiestaware mug on the little saucer. The clink as you put it back down, the dribble of coffee that ran down the side of the cup and settled in the saucer ring...

yep, I'm gonna get some. Even if it's just one set for me. (Wife has big decorating plans in the near future and I'm not sure the happy pastel colors of Fiestaware fit in with her plans. lol)
