Hi Ya All! (that's Texan for Hi there)Hey Guys! (that's Southwest Kansan talk for hello)
Thursday caught up with me faster than I realized.
I'm so pleased that you have stopped by for a chat. This Thursday will be just a little different...as much as I have enjoyed showing off my tea cups and saucers, I needed a break with a different beverage that's hot and mighty tasty.
So today is a great opportunity for COFFEE CHAT!!!
Have you ever had a favorite perculator for your favorite coffee? I still have a perculator on the shelf. As a young coffee drinker I started out with a electric perculator coffee pot that was a wedding gift and then morphed to a coffee maker that uses paper filters.
The BRAND of coffee changes from time to time. We're trying out Dunkin Donuts Coffee and like it real well. Purchase it from SAM's to get a discount. We've tried everything from ALDI's discounted Arabica, Beaumont Gold, Great Value Arabica, Douwe Egberts, Maxwell House, Folgers, Farmer Brothers, Eight O'Clock, Star Bucks, Millstone, Seattle's Best, Gloria Jeans, Panache, and a few more that I can't remember!!! Some Coffee Shops have their own House Blend that they've roasted themselves and are very proud of.
Years before the cold~chilled~iced coFfEes were so popular, I was at a Family Reunion where my precious Uncle John asked for some more coffee to drink as he handed me his cup with ice cubes in it. He said he wanted cold coffee and I thought 'O My Goodness, Uncle John's losing it. Who in their right mind would drink cold coffee?' I was all wrong about Coffee Shops as well.
My good friend Maxine that lives in Alaska wrote me about 30 years ago telling us about this Coffee Shop that sells specialty coffee and being from the soda pop generation thought 'Those will never go over!' WRONG BIG TIME. Please don't tell my husband that I'm admitting to being wrong at something. He still thinks I know it all. Grins.
Would you like some cream and sugar with your hot coffee or some ice?
I hope to show off some more tea cups and saucers next week...that's if the week doesn't roll around too quickly. If it does I might have to have coffee...cup of joe...java...bean juice AGAIN. Would you mind?
Have a blessed day and don't forget to smile. It's not as bad as it seems.
God Bless,
~Deanna~

What?! You don't know it all? I'm completely flabbergasted!
Just kidding of course. Wish I were having actual coffee with you this morning in our lovely parlor, with my feet perched up on the ottman. Dunkin' Donut coffee will do, a splash of Hazelnut Cremer, thank you.
And if you have a couple of those gingersnaps around I love to dunk them, or a Krueler would be good too.
Thanks to you and Miss Beauty, I love coffee!!
Well--we like starbucks the best--we like the Italian Dark roast--LOVE IT. But I am cutting back to a 1/2 mug a day....which is hard, because I so love coffee. We have a hamilton beach maker which we love the flavor it brews. We have also used all types--electric perk, stove top perk (which is great), and different kinds of electric drip, and even one where you pour your water through a filter thingy . We like this maker we have now very much! thanks for the stop by! Nannykim, from Spindle COTTAGE
Hi Deanna,
Thanks for stopping by WLLF this morning! You are always welcome. A medium seving of vanilla iced coffee from Wendy's has been my flavor lately. They are delicious as well as McDonalds flavored iced coffee! It's just down the road a bit from us and I love iced coffee in our toasty summer months. It's cooling off so I will switch to hot shortly. I have a new project done and posting photos today, stop by and take a look.
Blessings,
Linda
Coffee sounds goooood right now. It's been raining here in North Texas for I think about 40 days"ish". I'm building an ark. Maybe I can float to Kansas!
I think I need some good ol' java to perk up my tired self. I like it with a little sugar and a little cream. Oh, the best is when I put a scoop of hot chocolate in it. Voila! A mocha!
Blessings to you and your family today!
Hello everyone!
I welcome your kind comments and look forward to reading them.
Artist, I really enjoy coffee with you and those long discussions we seem to get ourselves into. I'm beginning to like putting chocolate syrup in my creamed coffee.
Nannykim, I'm gonna have to try the dark roasted star bucks. This does sound great.
Linda, I want to try Wendy's Vanilla Iced Coffee.
I like McDonald's regular coffee and Burger King's Iced Coffees.
Belinda, that's alot of rain! Coffee would warm you up. Hope it slows on the rain some.
Coffee Drinkers come on down.
Blessings,

HI D!!!
I won't tell Hubby!!
My Hubby thinks that I think I'm right all the time too!!!!
Who knows if I am or not!!! But I like to think I am!!!!
I never thought I would like iced coffee as I hate coffee flavored ice-cream or coffee candy, but I love a nice HOT cup of coffee, only 1 perday!!! But on to that iced coffee, I got hooked on it when I worked at the bank, I'm not an early person and that cup made me wake up an fast!!! The girls would take turns going to Starbucks!!! And YES, I paid 5.00 for that iced cold cup of heaven!!! Caramel frappachinos!!!! Love them!!! Now I only buy them when I'm at the airport!!! Will not get up and rive 5 miles for one!!! have you tired the ones at Mcdonald's for 1.99 and after the 4th one the 5th one if free!!!! They are really good!!!!!
hugs,
jamie
Blessings to you! So glad you all dropped by.
Sandra, I'd fix you something else. Thank you for visiting.
Marydon, The Maple Bars were so delicious, I couldn't help myself!
