i had, well.....a lot of coffee while in new york. i drink coffee here at home but not so much. i've tried what i thought was every kind of coffee out there but to my surprise, grams had the Folgers Singles. No...i hadn't known about these prior. i looked in our local stores and they don't carry them here in naples.
The decaf she had in stock was literally making me fall to sleep. We'd do devotions....you cannot read the newspaper before devotions, it's against the rules. So each morn gram would get our hot water ready and my single pack of DECAF sleepy pills out. It was good but I need to be head on with my caffeine or i'm a no go.
as far as sugar.....you can see that i need to pour a ton. i'm not just saying 2 spoonfuls......I POUR the entire thing of sugar into my cup. it's just a necessity.
the only time i got my caffeine was when we went out....which was everyday so i was good to go! we went to a restaurant that was fairly new because it used to be an old mcdonalds and i ordered reg....with refills. we sat and looked at the menu for a while and i decided i wanted the philly cheese steak. grandma and aunt V take hours deciding what they want so they both said they wanted the same thing which made me laugh....because it's just funny how they won't order unless you basically tell them what to get! i literally tried to video tape these scenes. if you share your life with an elderly person...you know how much of a riot they are. you see.....grandma has a sister in law who's name is aunt V. she's about ten years older than grams {93}. she's staying with grandma while gramps is recovering. to aunt V, grandma is Ardeth. her name is Jeanne. two minutes later she's Pearl. "Do you want me to get you some Tea, Ardeth?" "What's my Name?" Grandma is very patient with her and says it so nicely. But after awhile she gets pissed! and they bicker. Non stop.....and then they are hugging. Aunt V threatens to leave but she has no idea where her home is. Mind you, she can't drive so it's an all day asking where she belongs. Which broke my heart because I kept telling her that she belonged with us and she was home.
♥grams♥
the trip to the Valley was amazing! i had forgotten what small town feels like. Grandma and Aunt V have a friend who lives in Waverly. We took the back roads to see her and happily she was home. it melted my heart to see all these old ladies sitting in the living room chatting about when they were young! i want to live to be that old and visit some of my old girlfriends. and have tea decaf coffee.
this is one of the photos from the trip! i will share more along with the many moo-moo's, which BTW-gram thinks we have none here in FL.
that's the coffee talk for today! i think we'll do a coffee chat each Friday and let you link up?! maybe we'll bring it to FTLOB, eh!
what's your favorite coffee and moments?! please share! xoxo enjoy the weekend dolls.

I love my Swedish coffee brands. Like Löfbergs Lila and Gevalia. I also like to drink my coffee black and a bit stronger than normal. So I most often choose dark roasted coffee.
And my favourite coffee moment - always the first cup in the morning. Ahhh. :p
Just stopping by from the Friday Blog Hop! Gotta have my coffee EVERY day! At our house, it's only Don Francisco brands....mmmm...my favorite is Vanilla Nut with a dash of Hazelnut Creamer :) Oh, happy times.
Have a great weekend and God Bless!

All I drink lately is decaf, since I've been pregnant and nursing for over a year.
I cannot drink it black, and I love the fancy mochas and lattes and stuff.
I love coffee talk! My mom & I used to have coffee talk nearly every morning up until she moved to Texas last year. I miss that part of my day the most =)
Have a beautiful weekend!
Gotta have me my French Vanilla creamer!!!!....and I love that you call your grandparents gram and gramps....that's what I called mine...and my kiddos call my parents that too :) Have a terrific weekend!!
MMM love my coffee with French Vanilla creamer and TONS of sugar too!
Your grams is too cute!
Have a great weekend!
Hi! Found ya on ftlob! Love your blog!!
French press coffee on a rainy Vancouver day is bliss, just BLISS!
Favorite coffee moments? Setting the coffeemaker to brew at 4 a.m. The aroma wakes me up, I grab a cup (or two, or three) and have some quiet time sitting by the window, watching another day come to life.
Love Pumpkin Spice, Coconut coffees and Espresso.
And Iced Coffee, freshly brewed.
Love your Grams, too! Hope Gramps is doing okay!
My post today was all about coffee. At home, I love pumpkin spice or hazelnut. But otherwise I love Dunkin Donuts coffee or McDonalds. I actually just love coffee.
You grams is so cute! I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Your grandma is so cute!!
Have a great weekend : )
You nailed this post...as I read along, I could picture my grandma, who fortunately for us is still with us, sipping her coffee and asking me how the kids are. She gets confused from time to time, but her confusion almost makes you love her that much more.
Grandma's are the best.
I don't drink coffee, but some days I sure do wish I did! It smells sooo good!
Lovely post! I'm not much of a coffee drinker, but I think it smells good!
oh coffee... such an unhealthy relationship we have.
my favorite is the arabic kind i grew up on. it's ground with cardamom and other spices, so it is ultra aromatic. it's also strong as rocket fuel(!) and served in tiny tiny mugs that could propel anyone into orbit. can't go wrong.
I only like iced coffee, but I LOOOOOOOOOOVE (said in a high pitched, sing-songy voice) your hat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
aw grams has so much love in her eyes!
