What can I say about coffee? It's good. It's my favorite drink, winter or summer. I've been drinking coffee since I was a child. Back then, they didn't think it would hurt children, I guess.
I'd like to also take this opportunity to say that I think coffee gets a bad rap. Some people talk about coffee drinkers like we were crack addicts or something. Caffeine is a drug, they say. Well tea has caffeine, and I don't see anybody calling all those fancy-shmancy tea drinkers addicts. By tea drinkers, now, I'm referring to hot tea drinkers. Tea isn't supposed to be hot; it's supposed to be ice cold with lots of sugar, as anyone in the South can tell you. But I digress.
I used to drink my coffee black. For about a hundred years I drank it that way. Then about a year ago, Vann introduced me to International Delight French Vanilla creamer. Yum yum! That stuff is good; it has totally changed the way I drink coffee.
My sister, Sister, once said, "I don't trust anybody who doesn't drink coffee." I think that's a good motto. I think I'll ask that it be chiselled on my tombstone.
Speaking of tombstones (phfew! finally found the segue I needed to post this photo), look what I found.
It happened this way: I read on Anita's blog about this game wherein you go to google images and type in your name and see what you come up with*. I typed in Susan Cleveland and mostly all I found was that "other" Susan Cleveland. So I typed in Susan Ramey (my maiden name) and just lookie! And it gets weirder. My name is also Susan E(laine) Ramey. And I was born on March 11, although a little bit later than 1882. Oh, and I'm also a mother, but then who isn't?
I thought this was so neat that I just had to post it, even though it doesn't start with a C.
*Note: In the South, we don't adhere to the proposition that one must never end a sentence with a preposition. In fact, sometimes we end them with two prepositions.

That IS a little creepy!
I love coffee. I don't make a pot and drink it every day, but I adore a mug of steaming cappuccino (coffee and milk) in the afternoon. Oh, baby! I'm going to go make some right now!

Suze - I Googled Joanne Ramey, and was offended to find several others--how dare those people use my name! But I was in there somewhere, too.

I love coffee! But I don't drink it as much as I used to since my percolator died. But whenever we go out I usually have a cup or two. I appreciate it all the more for that.

I am SO making that blueberry breakfast thing tomorrow morning!! Alas, hubby will have to drag his hiney to the store for some of the ingredients and coffee. We are on vacation countdown, I hate to go buy food but we're down to peanut butter and canned tomato products, lol.
I did google myself and have found no others with my married name but tons with my maiden. Doubt they have my middle name of Sue though.

OMG! I think we are long-lost sisters! TWINS separated at BIRTH! Coffee - my middle name. Well, it SHOULD be! LOL! And, like you, I have an ongoing love affair with International Delight's French Vanilla creamer. (Try it on OATMEAL, too! BIG TIME YUMMY!) In addition to my coffee addiction, I ALSO go nuts in book stores and craft stores. Otherwise, I could care LESS about shopping. I KNEW I discovered your blog for a reason! (I'm also a good friend of Anitas's, by the way!)
