I Broke It...

No coffee can be good in the mouth that does not first send a sweet offering of odor to the nostrils. 

Henry Ward Beecher

And what did I do?? I dropped my coffee decanter and it broke. It looks like 2015 will be starting off with a new carafe!  And he's right about  the scent of coffee. Even my daughter agrees and doesn't even drink it!!

I hope that I have given you something to think about today! Thanks so much for stopping by :)
