COMMON GROUND COFFEE HOUSE #95

[standingfirminChrist]

I am a true coffee addict...

I drink it Black
I drink it with just cream
I drink it with just sugar
I drink it with both cream and sugar
I drink it hot or cold
I drink decaf or regular
I drink it any time of day
I drink any brand, gourmet or not.

... Have I covered all the bases?

I wonder...

Hey Dustin!

I like my coffee with a bit of real cream

Weather is beautiful here today. Frost on the cars this morning, but the breeze had calmed down a bit so it didn't seem so cold.

I finished a quilted tote bag this weekend. My husband told me I should try to sell them. I told him that I thought Vera Bradley already a big enough share of that market that would make it hard to break into . . .

Hey, Bitsy!

Linda and I will be in North Carolina the end of October. My nephew is getting married and I am best man!!

 

[Gwen]

Hi Everyone! Spent some time this weekend looking for a place to have the Rehearsal Dinner for my son's wedding. Lots of beautiful places, but $$$$!!!

Seems like everyone is getting married or attending a wedding!

Bitsy, I made one of those bags, too. I made mine out of toile, with that feathery trim around the top. It turned out kinda cute.

 

[mcdirector]

Cool Ron! Best man! Is your nephew in Greensboro? I hope he's close so we can meet.

Gwen -- You'll feel so relieved when you find a place for that dinner. I'll try to take a pix of my tote later to post. I'd love to see yours' if that's possible.

 

[standingfirminChrist]

yes, he is in greensboro and will be getting married at the South Elm Street Baptist Church on the corner of South Elm Street and Ritter's Lake Road (less than a mile from Greensboro's new Wal-Mart).

 

[Gina B]

Coffee? I am very changeable.

Iced, with chocolate and caramel and whipped cream on top.

Then again, a breve with vanilla is beautiful.

A hot Milky Way coffee is great.

Then again, so is an espresso on a cold, tired, winter morning.

Decaf is nice.

Then again, I try not to drink coffee.

But when I do...it's all about my mood.

 

[I Am Blessed 24]

Well, I see Gina is still confused...

I drink my decaf black with 2 Saccharin tablets in it.

Hey, Dustin! On you profile, what does "Southern Baptist I guess" mean?

Well, break time is over. I have all my cups washed, but not rehung. That is a big job. I'm glad I only have to do it once a year! My curtains are washed and dryed but still have to be ironed. When I spring clean the kitchen, it is a two-day job.

CYAL,

TWO DAYS...only two days??? Our house is small & it takes close to a week to get Agee where shes satisfied with everything. Let me rephrase that ....with most everything.
SFIC...when ya come to NC, ya gotta come to Denton & visit us or BH's feeling will be hurt!!
She said she likes you....you can't see what she's into when you come in the CCH late at nite!!

 

[Jim1999]

I don't spend that much time eating in my kitchen. We live in our house, with five dogs and 6 cats, and if visitors can't accept that, they can go elsewhere.

One can spend their entire lifetime just hoovering!!!!

Cheers,

Jim

 

[PamelaK]

I have to have decaf with half a cup of cream and two sugars.

standing - Fall is a beautiful time for a wedding.
You must be very excited!

I'll be waiting to see the handbags. Bitsy - there's always a market for handcrafted things in local markets and shows. GO FOR IT!!!

 

[Petrel]

I don't like coffee, but when I drink it it's black with two sugars, like Dustin. I prefer tea. I don't drink decaf because I wouldn't drink coffee at all except for the caffeine when I need it.

 

[computerjunkie]

As far as cleaning, I'm with Jim! (except for the 5 dogs and 6 cats)

I drink black coffee. My "weekend" treat is flavored black coffee.

 

[Jim1999]

So, computerjunkie, you are the ghost hiding in my closet!......*smile*

Cheers,

Jim

 

[mcdirector]

Ick -- I hate cleaning! Talk about a necessary evil.

Ron, I'm so glad the wedding is in Greensboro. I wrote a note in my calendar that you and Linda would be here that month.

OK, here are some pix of my tote. I had an idea what I wanted, so I got 1.5 yards, did some measuring and started cutting. There are some things I'll do differently on the next one -- this one was a learning experience .

[Jim1999]

Wow! That looks almost huge enough to actually hold all the female paraphernalia my wife carries in her purse.

Very nice.

Cheers,

Jim

MC - got one of them totes in Realtree? Looks about the right size to tote my turkey decoys.

madre got hooked up with this FlyLady sort of thing where you fuss for about 15 minutes, do your pots and pans and something else but I forgot what it was. Anyway, she keeps the house mother-in-law clean these days and I never see her do any of it. I did get in the way when she was riding the Kirby the other day but that's TaterTot's fault.

Gwen - try offering the intended $500, a ladder and a head start. Save all sorts of money and headaches over wedding plans.

 

[I Am Blessed 24]

Nice tote bag, Bitsy! I used to make quilted Bible covers but I forgot how.

It has been a long day and I pulled a leg muscle trying to catch myself from falling off the ladder (which I did before I hit bottom).

Pleasant dreams all!

[Gwen]

Padre, don't think I haven't thought about it!!

Bitsy, your tote is so cute! I did the same thing--no pattern, just cut and sew. Mine looks very much like yours, but I have trim around the top. Sorry I can't do pictures--don't know how! Have to get my son to show me.

I just reported a post to the moderator in General Baptist Discussions. Wow. It's a war zone over there.

 

[Jim1999]

Gwen had me worried there for a minute, but I remembered, I can't post with baptists. There are times when it feels safe to be an Anglican......

Cheers,

Jim
