Remember Honor Grounds Coffee?

 
I don’t know if you remember the review I did on Honor Grounds coffee.  The company donates to veteran’s organizations and is very involved with military support.
Whatever your opinion may be on war, veterans are important people.  I should know, Marc and are both veterans.  We spend a lot of time at the VA hospital […]

Starbucks Ethiopia Sidamo

I am sitting here this morning absolutely bleary eyed, hoping that the caffeine will soon jump start the gray matter.

I love to read. I am so sad that I don’t have the time that I used to to just sit and read a book. Other than when we go to the VA, I am usually reading books ALOUD if at all. And those generally have vocabulary like: One Fish…Two Fish…Red Fish…Blue Fish…

Green Mountain Coffee:Single Origin Sumatra

 
This is my favorite of the coffees that Green Mountain sent me.  It is a dark roast, and as I have said, I am partial to a dark roast.  The beans are very aromatic, you open the bag and your brain perks up..”coffee? did someone say coffee?”

Blogsurfing: Grab Your Cup and Come On!

 
Summer is here. I keep thinking that I am going to free up some time to sit and enjoy life but the more I work to free up the time the more I have to do…if you are feeling the same way just take the time off and sip some iced tea on your porch.  […]
