A Friend In Need….

By -
(Karen's find at Stitches Midwest.  Now she'll never run out of yarn  no matter where she goes. Love the color, love the teeny tiny skein)

 *I need help friends!  Our Cuisinart coffee maker is biting the dust. 
We bought it 7 years ago when Al worked at Starbucks. 
We got a steep employee discount. 

 *Should we get a Keurig? 

 *We make a pot of coffee every day.

 *We pour some of it out every day. 

 *Fireman is an early riser.  My coffee is generally 3 hours old when I pour it. 

 *My favorite coffee is by far, French Press?  Can any machine match that?

 *Help help help.  I suspect you will have opinions and I value them!!

 *Fireman loves Seattle's Best Coffee.

 *The best coffee I've ever had was in Mexico.  It was so smooth and wonderful.  We ordered a carafe every morning room service. 

 *What's your favorite coffee?  Should we get a Kuerig or not?
Where have you had your best cup of coffee ever?

I say Keurig because we have one. I think it makes a good cup of coffee and you never have to throw any out - always have a fresh-brewed cup.

I'm a big fan of Keurig (my sister has one). Super great for different rising times, love the variety of flavors and easy to clean! Not the best if you're trying to make enough for 6+ to drink at once, but otherwise it is great. Yummy hot chocolate too

I'm another Keurig fan, but I am as picky about my coffee as my tea, and the Knight likes that he can make hot cocoa in it too. There's a rumor that I got my previous job because I came with a Keurig...

Congrats on your Keurig! Daughter took hers when she moved out and I miss it. It's too pricey for me but it was fun while it was here. BTW I only drink instant decaf coffee. The place where my gall bladder used to be won't let me drink any other kind. Boo. Happily The Mister still brews a pot every morning so I get my morning fix through my nose.

We never use our coffeemaker because I do not drink coffee and hubby does not want to throw out extra coffee. It seems like a waste. We want to get a Keurig. Hopefully, we will for our anniversary.

Though I'm not a coffee drinker, the best cup of coffee I ever smelt and sipped was in London (it was my sister's coffee), in a little cafe on Leicester Square. Slightly smoky, smooth and full-bodied, and with a lovely crema on top. It was amazing. :)

Good luck deciding!

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
