Good Morning! Coffee? Chit-Chat about how easy it is to order food and items online for others... what a blessing!
You know it's cold when Coffee Talking switches to peppermint bark flavored coffee... yum! But only when it's really cold, and wintery. Any other time it's purely strong, hot and black.
So here I am, finally getting a break after a bit of a busy morning. A good busy though. I got some things accomplished online including a 'surprise' order of groceries and space heaters for someone who needs them right now in this bitter cold front moving across the country.
They will find out what they get around 1:00 today and I'm like a child at Christmas with a gift for their Mom and they can't wait for them to open it. They don't know they are getting groceries or 2 heaters; I asked if they could use a heater (I wanted their permission first) and they were grateful and said YES if I could, they would be thankful! So... they are getting 2 because I know they actually need two. Then I told them I hadn't 'checked out' online yet, and could I add any groceries or things to the order for them? They said they could use 'almost anything' especially maybe some butter and eggs and perhaps a pork loin as they could get 3 meals out of one pork loin.
I said "Great! I'll just throw in some 'randoms' for you then." So unbeknownst to them they will be getting 2 space heaters, a case of eggs, a case of chicken, 2 roasts, a pork loin, milk, butter and a 6 lb. bag of potatoes. All things I know they can make MANY meals of. It's already paid for - they are just doing a 'pick up' in their local city at 1:00 today.
I'm pondering this right now because for all the crappy things the internet has brought to our society, the fact that it is now so EASY to provide groceries and items to others is so wonderful.
Years ago I would have to jump through so many hoops to try to provide surprise gifts of food to people I knew needed it. Over the past 15 years it got better, and within the last 5 years (since Covid) it's SO EASY and I love it. Whether it's monthly boxes, local grocery delivery, club delivery, Amazon, etc. there are just so many options.
So that's my 'good news' this morning over coffee. That if you know of someone who could use space heaters, food, clothing or anything else, you can provide items so quick and simple now; and for that I'm thankful for the internet.
Now for a couple quick news stories you can look up if you wish... I've got to get busy with the rest of the things on my to-do list today.
Grab your coffee, it's coffee-talk time!
