    We make our coffee in old percolators — currently we have two old GE’s and a cute little Farberware number. We have several because they are so cool, but also, if one conks out, we have a backup. We think percolators make the richer, hotter coffee compared to more modern contraptions.

    We used to live on a wornout old farm that we called The Coffeepot Ranch, because about the only thing the place could produce was a good cup of coffee from our old percolator. Now our 59 ranch is The Coffeepot Ranch.

    (We think people should give their homes names, like the homes in English novels. Does anyone else have a name for their wonderful abode?)

    Happy birthday to the kid who made me a mother. The coffee pot brings back memories of always having a pot full and a Bisquick coffee cake made because neighbors always dropped in to visit.
