Coffee

Grandma literally had coffee everywhere. She spilled it on the walls and on the carpet. The counter was always stained with coffee too. She never used a spoon rest! Her sink was always stained with coffee as well.

The reason that I mention this is that my cousin Janie (Uncle John and Aunt Linda's daughter) wanted one of her coffee cups to remember her by, and when she took it out of the cabinet, it had a big coffee ring on the inside. Disgusting!

She had coffee going all day long. She had this Carafe, and I don't know what the point was as they cost about $10, but something happened to the lid, and she concocted this lid out of tinfoil. I have no idea why she did this.

If her coffee was too hot, she would put ice cubes in it, then it would get cold, and she would re-microwave it. She repeated this routine several times per cup.

I made her a nice Scrapbook for her 80th birthday, and when I looked at it today, I noticed huge coffee stains all over it regardless of the fact that the pages were in plastic page protectors. How she managed that I will never know.

A coffee stain was like her signature!
