DIANE'S CORNER ..
With hundreds of varieties of beans, and dozens of interesting ways of brewing, each bringing its own unique flavor, coffee has been developing over the years. From espresso machines in Italy to fine grounds in a Turkish Ibrik, to the popularity of freeze-dried or instant crystals, coffee has evolved in many ways.
The improvement of coffee in recent decades means that coffee lovers and caffeine addicts alike can have more consistent expectations when it comes to the way their morning cup of Joe is enjoyed.
National Gourmet Coffee Day is a salute to this development of gourmet coffee as its flavor brings joy and delight on a daily basis!
History of National Gourmet Coffee Day
Coffee has a long history and has been enjoyed all over the world for hundreds of years. Certainly, coffee in the US has evolved from its rudimentary forms of brewing in pots over an open fire by cowboys living on the range!
Gourmet coffee is a product of the ever-increasing care and attention by coffee lovers to provide a high-quality product. Beginning with better quality arabica beans and then moving into better practices for growing and roasting, there is no denying the improvement on the way coffee tastes and is presented in the modern age.
National Gourmet Coffee Day was established to show appreciation for the rich and full history of coffee as well as to celebrate the fresh and new ways that gourmet coffee has made its way into people’s lives and coffee mugs.
Although every day is certainly a great day to enjoy a cup of coffee, National Gourmet Coffee Day is an extra special time to explore, learn and find joy in the beauty and benefits of a simple cup.

YOUR CALL by Sylvia, CAN DO Correspondent
If I Fits, I Sits
Many cat owners have noticed that their cats have a peculiar desire to sit inside of boxes. Some cats have such a strong instinct to sit inside of things that they will even sit inside of circles that are painted on the floor. The funniest part is that this behavior isn’t limited to house cats. Lions, leopards, and other large cats also like sitting in boxes. This particular behavior is highly conserved among cat species for some reason. Even big cats can act like house cats when presented with a box.
