I Love Surprises

Like this one:


It's the coffee maker I've been hinting for begging for mentioning for about 3 months ever since I had the coffee from Debby's brewer at the beach. Mike told me I could have one and/or a GPS for Christmas, but it seems he and Debby have been conspiring in the meantime, and the Fed Ex man surprised me this morning with an early birthday present.

Here it is doing what it's supposed to. And what a perfect day for it. I had lunch with Debby at Panera just now, and it was raining so hard we felt like drowned rats. Panera's nice hot soup did wonders to perk us up though.


And now for my first cup of Vermont Country Blend.

Just as good as I remembered.

These were the coffees/teas in the sampler pack that came with it. I made Mama a cup of green tea, and she loved it. It was even hot enough for her. Uh-oh, looks like I'm going to have to share!


In addition to the sampler, there was a separate box filled with all these goodies, even hot chocolate. I see my old coffee maker pouting back there. It will still get used sometimes, I'm sure.

This was such a good suprise. What a nice husband. But he's like that.

I think I'll keep him around. Debby too.
