What Grandma Drinks usually highlights an adult beverage or two, but this post is different; this post is about my morning joe. I’d like to say three things before this post gets underway: #1) I’m certified. #2) I’m happy to share most of my embarrassing foibles in hopes of a laugh. We need more laughs. …

CAVEAT: This post contains the word “lube” and frank talk about sexy-time, during perimenopause. Enter if you dare. Oh, my. Lube? This is what I’m talking about these days? L-U-B-E?! The German (my mother) is horrified: Pat-TAY! Have you no shame? Nope, Mom. Not one drop. I wanted to title this post: Just When You …
