Wake up and smell the coffee

Wake up and smell the coffee or wake up and make the coffee. I have a percolator instead of a drip coffee makers. I bought the percolater over a year ago when the drip coffee maker no longer worked. I like the sound of coffee purking. I like the taste of coffee brewed in a percolator because it brings back memories of my grandparents.

Percolator sings
My grandparents remembered
Cowboy coffee

My grandfather drank coffee all day long. In the morning, he made percolator of cowboy coffee, went to work in the fields, and then came back to the house. He always had a cowboy coffee waiting for him to come home.

    Writing My Memories of Grandma and Grandpa

    I'm thinking a lot about my grandparents. Since I'm thinking about them I'm also writing about them. I'm making blog entries about Grandma and Grandpa Newland. Of course, I had two sets of grandparents.

    Most of my memories are about my mother's parents, Grandma and Grandpa Newland. I remember my father's mother, Grandma Darbe, but I don't remember Dad's father because he died before I was born.

    I'm not sure why I'm thing about my grandparents. Perhaps it's the time of my life, I'm 62 and will turn 63 on December 24. Age may have something to do with the memories or stress. The years I spent with Grandma and Grandpa were less stressful. I don't know why I'm thinking about them lately, but as long as I think about them I'm going to continue writing about them.
