Coffee Talk/my own topic...Crystal Cyr

In my family, "coffee talk" is a long standing tradition. Its this great phenomenon that happens whenever I visit any of my relatives. Coffee talk has certain unspoken rules that have been followed for several decades. Rule number one is the first person awake brews and pours the coffee. Rule number two is no talking until everyone is at least half way into their first cup of coffee. If I am at my grandma's house in the summer time we slip on our shoes and sit outside on the patio for coffee talk. Coffee talk is really just the caffeine addict's way of saying we are going to spend time together and chat about how life has been going. I love sitting outside and enjoying the light breeze during coffee talk at grandma's house. My aunt lives next door to my grandma, and if she sees us outside she will bring her coffee and come joint our chat. My grandma has quite the green thumb, so sitting on the patio in the morning also affords me some time to get some gardening advise from her. She loves to point out the different flowers and what you have to do to maximize their growth potential. Mostly, however, I think we enjoy relaxing with our family and observing God's awesome creation.
