HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOE!

CUP OF JOE
Gallery @ JO ANN TOMASELLI ~ FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY

These days everyone is wondering: What is the key-to-life? What is that one thing or set of things that will bring ultimate happiness, contentment and possibly even longevity.

The answer to that question is personal for each of us but I can tell you what defines the ultimate state of daily well-being for me.- It’s a good cup of joe – call it what you like and take it how you will – caffe, espresso, Arabica or cappuccino, black, sweet, blended, frappe – all are amazing!

For me, there’s another ingredient that makes drinking coffee special ~ it’s a ritual I’ve shared with my Dad since I was 3 and Joe worked at home sewing drapes and slipcovers for the interior designers of House Beautiful magazine.

Every morning at 11am the stove-top coffeepot started to percolate. I loved everything about it – the smell, the taste, even holding the un-ground beans in my hand. The best part of all was having this time alone with Joe – just the 2 of us discussing what-ever.

June 2nd is my Dads 97th birthday and I’m happy to say that our ritual continues – twice a week Joe and I venture out for a cup of joe.

Happy Birthday Dad!
I’ll be over to pick you up around 11 am ~ coffee’s on me today!
