Good morning. Happy New Year friends. Thanks for starting the thread, Dog.

Our Mr. Coffee pot is broken.....the one that was sent to us by the company...because the one we bought was junk..... made lousy coffee and leaked all over the place....This new one is not even a year old.

We have our trusty perculator going.

ROTLFMAO....that is too funny..my coffee pot that broke yesterday is a Mr. Coffee too.

I remember buying that one exactly around this time last year.

I did the perc thing this morning too, but later today I have to get to Wallymart and get a new one.

HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL!!!

Sorry I disappeared last night...but was caught up watching Edward Scissorhandss....it's just so quirky!

Lysie, Neets, I think my back is totally healed!!!...yay

We're having beautiful weather here on the east coast of Florida....balmy, just a nice tad cool....palm trees swaying in the slight breeze.
It's 'sittin on the porch' weather.

However, it wasn't much different in Texas.....very mild temps......just a light jacket needed.

I enjoyed the drive from Houston....lots of ranches with their very Texan names, and lots of cattle.....all spread out.

We went to our son's favorite barbecue place....Rudy's...which is basic barbecue and nothing else.....no frills, very minimal, but great barbecue.

We got Tex/Mex at Chuys....I felt a bit guilty going there, but there are 3 in town, and told myself it wasn't the one that was so rude to our President's daughters a couple years ago.

If it's as crowded and crazy as the one we went to, I don't know how anyone would know they were there.....a madhouse.....but great food!

Another thing we enjoyed....our son has his favorite places.....is the Lone Star Donut Shop....a mom & pop place.....and the donuts are incredible!!!!

Hubby is about to start the blackeye peas soon.....daughter & her hubby are bringing over turnip greens and we'll put mac & cheese and corn muffins with them.

Oh, by the way.....we saw Lord of the Rings..!!!!

Loved it!!!!!
I think we're going again this week.

Has anyone seen Cold Mountain...?

My dad wants to see it because it's Civil War.

Percolated coffee tastes better IMHO. But we use the auto drip because it's quicker.
