It was in the 1970s that WE as kids noticed OUR grandparent's avocado coffee maker. It was a beautiful tall beast that would emit the sweet scent of java. It was Hills Brothers Coffee.
WE were not allowed to drink coffee because WE were children.
Grandpa's old house is locked up. It looks like museum. He passed away in 2005. Uncle Joe was the last person living there. He died in 2011. That is when the locks went on.
Uncle Dom comes in from Alamo, Texas to look in on the old place here in Mission, Texas.
WE live next door.
WE wonder where the old avocado coffee maker is.
Last year WE smelled a ghostly scent of Hills Brothers Coffee coming from Grandpa's house. From the kitchen.
It might be time to try Grandpa's brand of cafe!
