I Love Coffee..'how do you take yours'?

Okay, I know this is going to be random, but I love coffee and as I was making my usual morning cup; it dawned on me that I make my coffee to match my color.
Let me explain.  I like my coffee to be Strong.  This means after it's brewed, it should be on the 'dark side'..then with the right amount of creamer...  BAM!!  You have a beautiful 'shade' of Coffee.

What made me think of this? I unno, my brain barely functions until I get Coffee But as I was putting the grounds and water into the Coffee maker, it made me think of my grandmas.. When I was a little girl, I noticed that my Creole (light) grandma, used to take her Coffee 'Black' meaning she didn't put anything in it. But my African-American (dark) grandma used to put  lots of Cream and Sugar in her Coffee. I always thought that was a 'trip'.

Well, as I sip my morning cup; I sit and think of how much I miss both grandmas, and how I'm a beautiful color combination of both. 
And there you have it.. Another glimpse into the mind that is mine.

Peace and Coffee
