Quotes of Note

You're born a male but you have to CHOOSE to be a man" - Herm Edwards

"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that" - Unknown

"They err who think Santa Clause comes down through the chimney; he really enters through the heart." - Mrs. Paul M. Ell

"Thankfully, our true roots are in heritage and not things. I just need to keep reminding myself that things are only reminders of heritage." - Keetha Broyles, June 21, 2010

"Tears lubricate the soul." - from "Finding Buck McHenry"

"Somehow you must come to understand that God is love, that love is the proof of God, and forgiveness is the proof of love." - The Priest in "Levi's Will" by W. Dale Cramer

"The truth about a man is in what he does, not what he says." - W. Dale Cramer in "Levi's Will"

"Fairy Tales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten." - G. K. Chesterton

Java

.

Last April I spent a little over a week in Costa Rica.

One of the special Costa Rican treats was a pot of freshly brewed locally grown coffee each morning.

It was yummy!

Fisherhubby is a big coffee fan, so I brought home three bags of Costa Rican Delight for him.

He loved them.

Recently, we were out of coffee beans to grind, so I ordered some of the very same Costa Rican coffee that I brought home last April.

It arrived the other day - - - looking and smelling JUST like it should.

You too can have Costa Rican coffee delivered right to your door - - - if you love java like we do.

No, this is not a paid advertisement, I'm SURE Cafe Britt would choose a much more sophisticated spokesperson than moi.

Anonymous said...: I've been making fresh ground coffee every morning since 1982. There is nothing like it in the morning, is there? Haven't tried your Costa Rican brand, tho. But look at all the choices you have!

Here's to you and Fisherhubby! Cheers!

SueWis said...: Yum! I used to grind beans until I got a Keurig for Christmas. I imagine your kitchen smells pretty good every morning!; March 24, 2011 at 10:49 AM
shannon i olson said...: mmm coffee, just did two posts that had something to do with coffee tooo! Like Sue, I too have a Keurig and love it! But still grind from time to time.; March 24, 2011 at 11:28 AM
Vickie said...: I'm a bit jealous. When we were on our way to Costa Rica I too, was looking forward to some home grown Costa Rican Coffee it never happened. I did however buy some there and brought it home to friends and they loved it. Steve doesn't like coffee. His morning java is Diet Mt. Dew. I didn't know you were such a coffee fan Keetha or I would of shared.; March 24, 2011 at 12:43 PM
Martin LaBar said...: The Lord can deliver you from such addictions . . .

(Conversely, the late Roy S. Nicholson was once asked "how can a Christian drink coffee?" He replied, "Well, sister, give me a cup and I'll show you.)

Enjoy.; March 24, 2011 at 12:51 PM
Gail said...: My husband's sister and her family have been missionaries there for close to 30 years. Through the years they have brought us coffee when they would come to the states. I know it is one of their specialities, but it's a little too strong for me. I prefer Folgers! I love Costa Rica, though. It is beautiful! When my sister-in-law is here she misses the weather there so much. Guess one could get spoiled to 70 something temps all the time!; March 24, 2011 at 3:30 PM
Ann in the UP said...: Just before reading about your delicious Costa Rican coffee, I was reading the Yarn Harlot's recounting the many ways her husband can mess up the morning coffee making. We bought coffee in Hawaii. Yum---but I usually just make strong Folgers. Strong.; March 24, 2011 at 4:59 PM
TS Hendrik said...: I hate coffee but I love the smell.; March 24, 2011 at 6:44 PM

JerAng said...: Everyone else has commented on the coffee. I was just wondering if the bear cookjar family can confused as to why there were flowers near them. ;); March 25, 2011 at 12:18 PM
Keetha Broyles said...: JerAng - - - you are a mystery to me! I've seen your comments before, and I'm WRACKING my brain to figure out what Jerry/Angie combo I know. Your google profile doesn't have a link to your e-mail. HELP!!! I'm SURE I'm being really silly to NOT place you - - - but it is DRIVING ME NUTS!!!
