The Power of Good Coffee

A blast of winter hasn't quite finished with us here in the north yet. Here it is not even a week before St. Patrick's Day and we have white out conditions and all this other yuck. It's not that beautiful light snow you get right before Christmas. No no it's that winter is not done yet snow where if you dare drive you are gripping the wheel and begging to make it home okay. 

As I get older the winter seem to attach to my bones. Getting warm isn't as simple as putting on a blanket and sitting in front of the fire. That helps don't get me wrong, but I need to be warm from the inside out. I don't go for the fancy coffee or the added flavors etc I just want good coffee. I make a pot of coffee that the whole family can drink if they choose and wait for the aroma to fill the house. I kid you not it is just like the commercial. Those taking naps wake up, those hid away in their rooms on their laptops come out. Just to touch the warm cup of coffee. Not even in the fancy coffee pots, but the old ones that the whole family gather around waiting for the coffee to finish brewing. It's one of those things that is pretty special, and you didn't know it would be.
