I know you think YOU have real problems

…but guys, we still have bad coffee here. I can no longer tolerate bad coffee.

If you haven’t been following the saga, read #6 here. Then read this.

If you read back, you’ll see that suggesting a Kuerig to me will be a waste of time. I want real coffee, not something the reminds me of it. We replaced the Kuerig with the deluxe Mr. Coffee. This was fine for awhile, but now our coffee doesn’t taste quite right. Maybe, like it’s alittle burned? It even doesn’t smell right. A friend lended us their Hamilton Beach coffeemaker so we could see if things were the same. And they are! Lest you think it’s the coffee, it’s not. I’ve had it before and it’s usually glorious, plus I switched coffee awhile back just to be sure. The coffeemaker we used to have was the Cuisinart, and we loved it (until it died). I didn’t want to spend the money on a new one, but I’m willing to. What’s the deal? Does anyone know?

Leaf for Jesus.

This is my view in our hotel room.

This is Stu trying to read a very complicated book about space to Blake (that B keeps insisting on reading, even though it’s really more of a big kid study book). Every time one of us reads it with him, B wants to discuss heaven. We’ve tried to explain that space isn’t heaven, but he’s quite sure it is. He just explained this to Stu:
“Daddy, me and you and Mommy aren’t going to go to heaven. Jesus is just going to come over to our house and I’ll give him a leaf for coming over”
A leaf is Blake’s new “host gift”, he picks a special one for all our guests.
