While visiting my children for a Baby Shower for Baby G and Daughter In Law Shell I got the grand treatment of Coffee from Israel. Don't have a clue what it said on the package, but know that this was a treat 'cause the Tall Guy brought the treat out to treat us to evening coffee. When we visit, the kids usually brew some java for us and Shell's kitchen is decorated with coffee items.
My coffee practically glowed! We played a game of what would you rate the coffee...please keep in mind these kids love their coffee and so they weren't too impressed with it. I don't think it was strong enough for them. With 10 being tops what would you rate it? They rated it kind of low. I think it ranked about a 4.
Out of four people, three out of four got headaches!!! Ouch.
To me, it was a treat to be treated and the company rated high in my books.
My Grands are full of energy and didn't need any caffeine to get hoppin'. Do you know any children like this?
Slowly they quieted down and we got some rest. Do you remember the days of sleeping on the floor with cousins? I do and it was great.
Coffee Time and Company was wonderful. The memories warm my soul on this chilly day. I'd enjoy another cup of that java rated a 4 with cream and a pinch of sugar in it.
Baby "G" will be delivered by C-Section October 26th! Appreciate prayer. Blessings to you for taking the time to visit and pray.
Beloved, God bless you and comfort you no matter what you're going through.

Kosher Koffee, now there's a thought!
Wish I could have been there to give that a try, and see the grands. Next trip I will, and Lord willing will have one more to see!
Looking at the dreary weather outside I am thankful for the Lords help in getting that roofing project done.
I love coffee, and I can't wait till Saturday morning to sit and have a Coffee Chat with you!

Honey, wish you had been there also. We missed you. Coffee Time with you is always a treat.

Oh I love my plain old everyday coffee. Folgers, I think. HH takes care of buying and fixing the coffee everynight and who ever gets up first clicks it on. I am so happy you two have each other.

Coffee...my favorite drink! (I did not realize that there was coffee grown in Israel...or is it just packaged there, under Kosher standards?
Until my son became a barista (in high school and college), I had no idea that coffee has variables like wine. I am most fond of Jamaican Blue. But then, I LOVE my beloved cafe con leche (Cuban Coffee)...and cafe au lait (with chicory) and beignets. Maybe...it's the beignets I love. Hmmmm

Oh I love my coffee, but I have cut back to about a 1/2 mug a day (although I do cheat). I have heard it can affect some peoples cholesterol levels and I am doing everything to try to get it down...so I have been drinking more tea. What is with the headaches ya'll got???!!! BUT I have to say that my favorite of all coffee SO FAR is the Italian Roast Starbucks brand. We are so into this very very strong bold taste that even their French roast does not stand up to this!! This is what we use for our daily coffee because we are so spoiled. It is almost as good as having espresso ;-)
I like the coffee decor too!! Oh as far as wallpaper--that is cool about what you told me!! ALso I realized that one of my rooms you can't tell and one of them (the little bathroom) you can definetly tell--I should redo that room....but nope....I don't THINK SO!!!
Oh --exciting about the upcoming birth!!

Dearest mom. I love you so much and am glad you finally posted our Coffee Critique. :) Don't forget. I rated it a 7. I thought it was alright, but it didn't have a strong enough taste. :) I shall break out the Turkish coffee on your return visit for the delivery of the baby. Maybe we can have the turkish and Israeli coffee out and have Dad try both. Love you all!
Your #1 Tall Guy.
PS. you have me motivated to try some different Rootbeers. I have found some good ones. mmmmm.
Deanna, great kids they are adorable. Wonderful post. Thanks for stopping over today to visit. I hope this day finds you well.
Blessings,
Heidi
Hello Deanna!
What a WONDERFUL blog!!!!!!!
I saw your comment on Karinann's blog "Blessings of the Day" about the Ave Maria song...I couldn't find an email link in your profile, so I hope that you don't mind me leaving this little gift for you here under this post...it is the translation of the song you were wondering about:
PEACE AND JOY TO YOU! I look forward to many more visits back here!

Hawaiian Kona coffee, Jamaican Blue Mountain and Keyna are my favorites.
I've never tried your coffee.
BTW, many thanks for your kind note; it arrived in my rural mail box a couple of days ago. It was delightful receiving a hand written note and I'm so glad you're enjoying the quilted encouragement wall hanging.
Hi, Deanna; There are so many lovely and interesting things on your post it is difficult to say something about all of them. That wonderful old house of yours calls to me..the porch especially. I guess that is what it is supposed to do.
I particularly like the "home"
What a lovely post Deanna.
Coffee is such a great drink and I always have one for my morning tea.
Your little Grandkids are adorable and isn't it lovely to see them full of beans!
I remember we used to make huts in the lounge with blankets, that was fun.
Happy week
Hugs
Carolyn
