IT’S SATURDAY !!
GOOD BYE FEBRUARY!
I’m slowly waking up and enjoying the good coffee today!
After having had the 8 o’clock coffee this past week, I decided I was spoiled and preferred the flavored coffee so I found some yesterday when I stopped at the farm market close to where I work.
It’s called Blackberry Crème and it’s made by the Euclid Coffee Company right in Cleveland, Ohio. I’d never heard of it before, but it’s nice to know I’m supporting a northern Ohio company. I was reading the instructions on the bag and it says the finer the grind the stronger the coffee will be. I learn something new every day of my life. I’d never heard that one before.
Snow came back to our area Friday afternoon along with colder temps. It seems I’ve not been able to warm up all week. Even though we were in the 40’s it was raining and damp. Last night it went back into the 20’s.
BrrrChill!
It’s a perfect morning for a good cup of hot coffee!
Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !

Tooth Fairy Day
National Tooth Fairy Day celebrates one of childhood's favorite visitors. The Tooth Fairy is an American tradition with European and superstitious roots.
Losing baby teeth is a sometimes traumatic experience for young children. Enter the world of the friendly, smiling and soothing Tooth Fairy. As a young child's first baby tooth becomes lose, the child often fears losing it. The promise of a visit from the tooth fairy and a gift, turns the occasion into something to look forward to. When the tooth finally falls out, mom cleans it off. It is often put it into a "tooth box". At bedtime, the child puts the tooth under his pillow. The tooth fairy comes after the child falls asleep. She takes the tooth and leaves a small gift, usually money. The tooth fairy leaves a gift every time the child loses a tooth.
Never fear: If the tooth is literally lost in some way, don't worry. The Tooth Fairy always knows, and will still leave a gift. She magically knows each time a baby tooth falls out, and will arrive that night , even if the child is away at grandmas, or on vacation
