The atmosphere of the small town coffee shop made us feel like we were kids again.”

I love the coffee house even more now!” “ I was in a small coffee house with a friend. A woman at the next table admired my bag and asked about it. I had made it and told her so.

I will always cherish that night at the coffee house with him. Always.”
