Caffeine Café

Last week I was leafing through the flyer at one of the local grocery stores last week and found out that National Coffee Day was September 29th. I quickly texted the information to Hubby Tony, and we agreed we would have to do something to commemorate the  day.

This weekend Tony and I attended a fellowship convention at a resort halfway across the state. It was a lovely event. This morning we checked out of the hotel before today's events started, so as soon as things wrapped up we said our goodbyes and hit the road.

Halfway home I was ready for my afternoon cup of coffee. Tony researched the options at the next exit...two gas stations and a local bakery/deli. Guess which one we chose?

The bakery was getting ready to close for the day, so the associate let us fill our large travel mugs for the price of a small. We also purchased a large homemade chocolate cookie to share. Between the caffeine, chocolate, and sugar I had enough energy for the rest of the drive.

  2. Sounds like a fun adventure. I had two today. Caramel apple coffee from Aldi with Vanilla Aldi Oatmilk Creamer. Delish.

  3. "a large homemade chocolate cookie to share"
    Share a cookie? "SHARE?" Get two. Then tell Tony to get his own.

    1. It was pretty big. I'd hate to think how much a whole one would have affected me.

    1. Small businesses are so much more fun to support than chains!

    1. If not for the grocery store ad the 'day' would have completely slipped by me.

  8. Sounds like a fun trip. We need a calendar that contains just these weird "national whatever" days!
