Lorena went to the opera tonight with my brother-in-law Rich, Aunt Julia, and our beautiful niece Mariah. The opera is Faust and I KNOW they are having a great time. Kelly was supposed to go with them but had a work event so we asked if Lorena could go in her place. We are very grateful that they graciously said yes and Lorena is like a kid in a candy store. This is her second opera. She went to one other with her father, Grandpa Lauro, who was a huge, huge opera fan. We hope you have a great time.

We liked our new coffee maker so well we decided to buy two more for our guest bedrooms. The original machine makes both a carafe or a single cup (with a K-Cup or just ground coffee). The bedroom machines are pretty much just the single cup side of the one we got for the kitchen. We got them cheaper at Walmart.com than at Amazon and they got here in just a couple of days. We were very pleased all the way around.
I had purchased a bunch of K-Cups and have to admit they are very handy. I also found they are pretty cheap if you buy them from eBay or Walmart.com. I was thinking we would be grinding our coffee and making the single servings that way. I am sure we will try that out, but the K-Cups are way less hassle and, in the end, we throw away a lot less coffee by making it a single cup at a time.
