Coffee Day

 Hello, friends!  Hope you all enjoyed your first day of October.  Fall is really here.  The temperatures are dropping some and are in the 70s and 60s.  But still lovely weather.  I like it when the humidity drops but the temperatures are still comfortable.

Today I had to take the car into the garage and get four new tires.  Originally I was going to get only two -- the two worst ones, but decided to just go for it and do the whole thing.  That way I don't have to go through getting the car there and having someone drive me back and forth between the garage and home twice.  Besides, I think it's better to have all new ones on at the same time.  My friend Carole drove me and she told me I would notice the difference with new tires and she was right.  I went over a few bumps in the road and didn't even feel it.  It was a lot of money, but well worth it.  And I'm glad I got it done before the cold weather set in.

I have been going to the same garage for a long time and am friends with the manager.  Ron is such a nice guy.  When I made the appointment to bring it in, he mentioned that today was his birthday.  So on the way over I stopped at 7-11 and got him a honeybun.  I surprised him with it when I left the car.  He told me it was his 54th birthday.  I said that time on earth was short and he said yes, the Bible said it was like a vapor.  I said, "And then there is eternity with Jesus."  "Yes!" he replied.  Then I added, "And with me.  You will be with me for eternity too.  You can't escape."  We both started laughing.  He didn't know if that was something good or a threat.  Ha, ha!

I meant to do a change the calendar post today, but this afternoon I got sick again.  It seems that my stomach gets worse every day.  I got a call from my gastro doctor's office this morning telling me that my endoscopy is cancelled until all the cardio tests come back.  I have an appointment with him for October 30th now to discuss everything.

Well, today was International Coffee Day.  I don't drink coffee.  I don't like the taste of coffee.  I want to like coffee.  I have tried to drink it so many times.  But I just can't.  Joe loves coffee, though.  He takes his black.  Black and bitter like his life before me he says.

How about you?  Do you drink coffee?  How do you like it?  What is your favorite flavor?

I celebrated by having a wonderful cup of... TEA!  You know how you get that perfect cup every now and then.  That was this.  An Earl Grey cup of perfection.

I'm late getting this up today because I fell asleep after dinner.  I'm glad I did, though, because I feel much better.  Hopefully I will give you new calendar pictures tomorrow.  And get some housework done.  I want to work on the dining room tomorrow.  And put my fall welcome mat out.

Have a good night and a great day tomorrow.  I will see you later.
