Having the beans directly shipped has been SO nice!!
I need eldest DD to set it back where it was.
I have NEVER minded having an extra 32 oz bag kicking around.
I have a ROUTINE: Empty bag into canning jars, 2 Ovaltine jars (when they were glass and had metal screw top lids,) 2 quart canning jars, 1 almost quart (it had peaches in it and is slightly less than one quart, and the metal screw top lid fits,) and 1 pint canning jar.
I purposely selected some very old (like "Atlas") jars bc I knew that they might crack under pressure bc of age, and they are PERFECT for dry storage.
I would wait until only the pint jar was full.
Really cramped my style this month. :rant

@Zeedman when it’s hot afternoons, I make iced coffee with leftover morning coffee .
Sugar, cream, coffee and ice. Or skip the sugar and add chocolate syrup.
I was already thinking along those lines, especially since I've been buying more of the bottled iced coffee lately. Home brewed would be a lot cheaper - and probably better tasting. :thumbsup

DH made coffee for me but I'm still in bed trying to decide if I want to go outside or clean the house. It is Friday so I must clean the house.
I also need to decide on what to make for breakfast. Yesterday was waffles so I might make some potatoes, eggs and toast today.

I had my big glass of coffee this morning
Here is my pickup traveling cup:

It must be 14oz or more but I don’t fill it completely full for the ride and don’t use it at home. Tall, it’s a little too easy for me to tip over at the table but fits the holder in the pickup super well.

I have no memory of where it came from. My coffee cups are each unique. Oh, I have a pair from Seattle’s Space Needle and bring them out with a friend who frequently drops by and who hosted an excursion about 20 years ago that included the Space Needle visit.

The 2 sets DW bought are strange to me. One goes with a tableware set that is exactly the same as Mom had. So, when those come out for dinner with company, I am eating off the same plate that I used 40-50 years ago!

Her other cup collection is totally useless by my standards because the handle design and balance allows it to tip.

So, I have drifted off to the tableware shelves at the thrift stores, handling cups one at a time to make an odd collection.

we were all looking at that Aloe in the background... :)

i used to have a nice random collection of coffee and tea mugs but a lot of them have been broken over the years (ceramic cups and enamel sink plus force of gravity x 2 klutzy people). i'm not sure what are stuffed away in some boxes i have in the garage, a small matching set of four perhaps... for people who don't drink tea or coffee as their main course...
