Some places need to be wild
The best place to pray for a good crop is at the end of a hoe!
Gardens in my mind never need water
Castles in the air never have a wet basement
Well made buildings are fractal -- equally intelligent design at every level of detail.
Bright sparks remind others that they too can dance
What I am looking for is looking for me too!

She usually has me stocked up from all sorts of brands that are left overs from smuckers that I will mix with the cheap stuff. I think washing cups is something wives must do. I leave mine in my office so she won't touch it. If I leave it in the kitchen it will be scrubbed shiny clean. It take almost a week to get that cup seasoned again!
My first cup of coffee was with my grandpa when I was about 4 years old. I never seen the farm coffee pot clean, it always had coffee in it. I was always the early riser. He would sit at the end of the table with me at his right side. We could talk about anything. My grandpa was a marine from ww2 and had been raised extremely poor. He could literally do anything if he put his mind to it. His farm had people there all day long. He told me his life goal was to give more back than he took. Man do I miss him.

Just spending time with Grandpa made that coffee taste so much better and made for cherished memories.
Thanks for sharing!
Like you, I never wash my coffee cup. Why does it need washing?

Thanks John! What was interesting to me was all the shared memories that seemed to center around grandparents.
