He was talking about coffee!

On of my husband's co-workers promised to send us some honest-to-goodness South American homegrown coffee!

We do like coffee just a little bit at our house. Next to the big-boy espresso maker you can see our collection of syrups (cinnamon, Kahlua, caramel, and gingerbread), to-go cups (not to be confused with Togo cups, from an African country of the same name), sweeteners (splenda, sweet-n-low, sugar), sprinkles (cinnamon and sugar), ground coffee from Italy, and Starbucks Verona beans. The French Press coffee maker is in the sink and the teeny tiny stovetop espresso maker is under the counter. In the background you can see the coffee grinder (needed for the French press) and 2 little espresso cups. I registered for those when I got married over 26 years ago. These days Barista-boy uses them to serve shots in. We store these everyday essentials in the Southern Living at Home Jamestown tray. It's lovely when you can actually see it.

Update: Mom is resting comfortably after her emergency appendectomy last night. She's due home tomorrow or Monday. We are thankful for all your prayers and good wishes. I plan on delivering them in person when I go visit her next weekend.
