    Pedro’s Coffee

    We had a very good rain yesterday afternoon, and a much needed rain. So this morning, we have high humidity and the possibility of more rain and thunderstorms this afternoon. This morning we changed things up and Jeff and I met up at a coffee shop called Pedro’s Coffee. They had these chocolate glazed donuts with little sprinkles on them in the display case that was too tempting for me not to pass up. And I will say the Americano was good but the donut was gooder. And as always so was the conversation. If you’re hot stay cool. If you’re getting wet dry off. If life is perfect, smile!

    Cost of a latte…

    There is a coffee shop that I have not been to in awhile because they are pricey and on the other side of town. They advertise themselves as serving quality coffee and roast their own beans. I must admit I have enjoyed their espresso roast in their Americano. But one day last week I ordered a 12 oz. mocha and was flabbergasted by the price. It was a good mocha and the latte art was good but sure not worth $7.99. It’s a bit frightening to think that someday I could be priced out of my coffee addiction. Then what? Cuz I sure ain’t going back to work! Well… I hope you enjoy your weekend!

    A Coffee House

    Morning Journal Time
    Morning Journal Time

    I do not have a specific time of the day I journal. I can be motivated to pick up my pen and journal when the mood strikes or I need to clear my head. Like my camera it is always with me. That could be the reason I post a few images of my journal and pen. 🙂 In Old Town there are nine small mom and pop coffee houses that I wander into. There is a difference in how each coffee shop makes their lattes so through experimentation I learn when to order a mocha, an Americano or chai latte. There is also a difference in the ambiance in each of them. The feel of each coffee house is based on the decor, the baristas and as well the customers. I may have to write a review on each of them as a short project. That also gives me justification for spending my money at these places.
