When A Coffee Means the WORLD to You.....

Put a picture, on your blog, everyday, regarding something pertinent that has happened each individual day during the month of December.  That's the December challenge here in blog land.  I have decided to attempt to participate in that challenge this year.  So here is today's.....

 
This evening we had to go out to my parents' chicken farm to vaccinate 11,000 chickens.  It was -20 degrees outside, the barn door was open and the heaters were off.  I stood at a fence inside the barn with a double needle in my hand and injected every bird that was brought my way during the 3 and a half hour job.  I don't usually mind vaccinating night.  The work is not hard and we generally have a good time with everyone.  But tonight my teeth were chattering and morale was getting a little low.  Then my brother, knowing I was awfully cold, brought me a mug of coffee.  I tell you, I think that was the BEST coffee I have ever had!  It was just a home brewed coffee put in an old tim hortons travel mug, but WOW!  It made me feel SO...MUCH...BETTER!!!  I just stood there while I was needling chickens, sipping my hot coffee.  Kuddos to my brother!  I think I thanked him that at least 10 times.  This is a time when a coffee means the world to a person.
