I really identify with all coffee drinkers. Many years of memories center around cups of coffee. My dad brewed his by boiling the pot on the stove then when it was bubbly he would take it off the stove and shake it a little to get the grounds settled. The strong brew was delicious. My husband and I have down through the years done the same thing. Now we walk down the street in the neighborhood and drink a cup as we look at the sky where the sun brightens the day. Our doggie is with us enjoying the early morning air. We are the first risers everyday. Thankful and drowsy.
One of my favorite coffee memories is when I was a youngster in the Air Force. The first base I was at closed after 2 years and I was transferred to Little Rock along with a friend of mine. A friend of ours was sent to Washington State. We kept in touch and he told us that he would be coming to Louisiana on New Years. We drove down to Louisiana on New Years Eve and got there very early in the morning so we went to sleep in the car. Our friends father came out to the car about daylight and woke us up and asked if we would like a cup of coffee. We said sure. We went inside and he put a pot of water on the stove and put a handful of good ole Lousianne coffee and chicory in the pot. When it started boiling hard ha set it off of the burner and let the grounds settle and poured us a big cup of coffee that would knock your hat in the creek. We woke up pretty quickly.
