Brewed Fresh Daily

Jerry and I have known each other for 40 years. We share living quarters, and enjoy our time together, but we both like freedom---each to pursue our individual quests. Our separate grown children don�t need us much, since they're all wonderfully independent. Though retired, we tend to spend work hours apart and link up for meals here and there, or in the coffee shops around town. Jerry and I both love coffee. We each have a favorite cup: his from his other life with his wife of 30 years, and mine from my former life with my husband of 22 years. Jerry's cup is small, made of white porcelain, a sort of refined mug, pentagonal in shape. My mug is shorter and wider, with wavy, brown, rust and white vertical stripes---stoneware really. These cups look like us. Jerry is more proper and traditional than I. I am more rustic and casual than he. Jerry�s cup has chips in the rim and the base. Mine is run through with multiple mini-cracks that look like a maze of tiny roads on a city map, but no chips...
