I Have Been To Italy

Well, actually I have been in Kansas all this time BUT my credit card number was in Italy.  It was having a grand old time.  I am not sure all it purchased but it I do know it stayed in a really nice hotel.  Isn’t it sad that your credit card ends  up having a grand old time while you are stuck in Kansas… Sigh  You know something the person using my credit card did all of these fun things absolutely free.  Fortunately I paid for protection against these things.  All I had to do was cut up my globe trotting credit card (that will teach it to have fun without me) and wait for a new one.

Question – Have you ever done something so stupid that you wonder, after the random act of stupidity, what the heck you were thinking?  I arrived at my daughter’s home and there sitting on her counter was Robert’s Christmas present to her.  A Keurig which is a single-cup brewer.  At first I considered it a doo dad.  Hannah patiently showed me how to brew my own teas with it and then she showed me how to use the K Cups.  K Cups hold coffee, tea, hot chocolate etc.  The next morning I decided to brew a cup of decaf coffee on my own and it tasted so good I had a few more cups of joe.  At the end of the week Hannah came home and I met her at the door with a big old howdy and said  “hihoneyhowwasworkIdidthelaundryIplayedwiththedogsandbythewayyouareoutofdecaf.  I was wired for sound.  I have been off the caffeine long enough for it to really be potent.  So we headed for the store to purchase more coffee.   I ended up buying a small Keurig for myself.  I live in a van and I have absolutely no idea where I am going to store it when we are traveling.  I only purchased decaf coffee and I have all the tea I need.  So no more bouncing off the walls and staying up till 3 a.m.

This afternoon will be my last visit with the dentist and we will be heading out tomorrow morning for Camdenton.  After Camdenton we will be heading to Las Vegas New Mexico or someplace near.  It will feel good to be on the road again.

Life is good.

Keurig - that one of the things I'm taking with me in my motor home. I have the regular size, it makes the best coffee I've ever made. And a cup at a time. I LOVE it. I'd like to get one of the smaller sizes for my motor home. I hope you enjoy yours! :)

Sometimes I feel left out because I'm not a coffee drinker and never have been. While I like the smell of it, there's an awful taste that nothing will cover up, so I do without. I'm thinking it's saving me a lot of $$$.

I really like your new header picture.

Wonder what would have happened if you did not have that insurance?

I've heard alot about those coffee makers... think I had better check them out, as I love a good cup of coffee.
