Today I continue my quest in creating and posting one block a day of the fabulous That Town And Country Quilt by the lovely Susan Claire. This is day seventy-seven of that project.

I like this coffee cart. I would buy coffee here.

The color of the building makes me think of a rich cup of coffee, and the shutters say, “Come over here. I’m fun”.

There are a lot of us that think of that perfect cup of coffee in the morning. I don’t drink much coffee, but I sure like that morning cup. For me, it means hot chocolate powder mixed into my coffee and cream.

I didn’t start drinking coffee until I was 55.

I always loved how it smelled but didn’t care much for the taste. My parents drank coffee all day, and the pot was always on.

My husband and I took a vacation to Mexico, and I tried a cup of coffee with him one morning. It was so good! That’s because when I’m on vacation, I’m Adventure Girl: I will try most anything.

You know… hold snakes, zip line, step over crocodiles, repel down waterfalls… and drink coffee.

Thanks a latté!
