I am glad to see I’m not the only one with the coffee in bed reading time. I picked up the habit from my mother over 50 years ago.

I am glad to see I’m not the only one with the coffee in bed reading time. I picked up the habit from my mother over 50 years ago. On the mornings she didn’t go to work I would get her coffee for her and sit under the blankets and talk. When I left home I did it on my own, then with my daughter and grandson. When he was little and rambunctious we taught him coffee time is quiet time and he’d get out his little tablet and learn his alphabet and words.
Sharon I am reminded of Mamie Eisenhower who would read the papers and stay in bed until noon or one. At a White House dinner her doctor came through the receiving line. Mamie blurted out, “Hi, this is the first time I’ve seen you when I wasn’t in bed.” There was a long silence.
My experience was very similar. Mom delivered coffee in bed to dad and each kid...to extend the peaceful morning. My husband doesn't drink coffee!!! However, when my brother visits I bring him (and his sons) coffee and I sit on the end of his bed and we chat before the families descend on the morning.
Martha and Sharon you have changed my life. Getting up and getting dressed and making your bed is so overrated. I now want to make my coffee… run and get the paper and go back to bed and enjoy my coffee and the paper … I can get dressed and make the bed AFTER that … what a wonderful practice.
I really do LOVE my creature comforts. Enjoy your new morning experience. Just FYI - I nuke a 1/2 cup of skim milk in my mug, grind my beans, and use a single serve french press. Pure decadence.
