Love letter to Coffee

My love affair with coffee did not take hold until college. I tried the instant coffee at church functions in high school but I can't count that. I didn't try 'real' coffee until I was in university. My sophomore roommate would make a 4 cup pot and we would down it regularly. 4-5 pots a day. I started ordering it when I went out. I had to have it with creamer and sugar...lots of those. Then I got married.....more coffee. Dan introduced me to the coffee shop coffee. So good. Still lots of sugar. Over the years I have been able to appreciate the coffee flavor itself. Now I don't use any sugar and just a little skim milk. I love coffee. I want to drink it all day. It makes me feel warm and ready to face the day.

Here's to you Coffee....may you always be brewing!

Blind Side

I saw the movie 'The Blind Side' last night. I loved it. It was everything I wanted in a movie. Funny, heart warming, great ending. I like to leave the theater in a good mood. Then my friend and I were going to stop at Doc Chey's for a bite to eat. They are closed!! I am so so sad. Some stupid hospitality tax violation. What is that? You go out of business for not paying taxes? Stupid company.

The movie got me thinking. I wish I could be a foster parent sometimes. I see that so many kids need a place to be safe and loved. I could give them that. But dealing with DSS would make me angry I am sure. They are overworked and I truly don't think they are doing what is in the best interest if the child. I feel like I have a heart to help but maybe not the wallet at this time.
