Coffee and Teaching

 

The teachers in our county go back to school today.  When I started teaching, everyone was surprised that I didn't drink coffee.  They all said, we give you a week of teaching and you will drink it.  On the day I retired from teaching, I still was not a coffee drinker and remain that way.  I just could not get used to the taste of it.

Happy Birthday Dad

Today would have been my dad's 92nd birthday. He was a coffee drinker, but only for breakfast. He had a very big coffee cup that probably held 2 cups of coffee. He liked the big cup because he was also a dunker. He especially liked to dunk my mom's homemade raisin cookies. My friend Anna loaned me this set to make some coffee tiles which I will post soon. I looked for ideas on Splitcoast but they didn't have this set but a similar one. So I used those cards as my inspiration. The one on the left in the first picture uses a little scrap Whitney gave me. That is all I have of it and it was just enough. I thought it looked like steam.
