Caffeine Addiction – Day 2

I cannot find a Bunn replacement decanter for my coffee maker.  But I do have a very resourceful husband who suggested I make the coffee one or two mugs at a time.  So until we can find another coffee decanter, this is how I’ll be brewing our coffee.  

Caffeine Addiction

It’s pretty bad when you need a cup of coffee before you are awake enough to make the coffee.  
That was me this morning.  I stumbled into the kitchen and grabbed the coffee pot from the coffee maker.  I filled it all the way, then remembered my husband wouldn’t be sharing the coffee with me [...]

Random Photos

I thought I’d post some random photos from our summer in the mountains.

Marshmallow Roasting, Rock Hopping, and Soccer Playing

What have I been doing this week?  I’m so glad you asked!
