Bump for Morning Coffee! :)
Being from the South, I grew up on hot tea in the morning, and iced tea the rest of the day. Though Grandpa and Grandma had Folgers at the ready for their friends when they played canasta (or hot tea again if they preferred).
When I moved to the Midwest, I had to get used to coffee so that I could begin to fit in. I needed a LOT of cream, and some sugar, but it did take hold. These days, that IS the beverage that wakes me up from my dreamy dreams. Hot tea is for sometimes in the afternoon, and I like hibiscus tea if I can find it.
You know, it took me 20+ years to even begin to get used to how it is up here. I guess that why Tom Petty’s “Southern Accents” song fits me just right. I do everything with a Southern accent. Try not to hold it against me. ;)
