Small Town USA

Last weekend I enjoyed some family time in Westcliffe, CO.  There is something about visiting a place where you walk down main street and and everyone "knows your name".  That's the way it is in Westcliffe.

 

We woke up on Saturday to a brisk foggy morning.  It felt more like fall instead of spring, which ended up being perfect weather for a parade if you ask me!  So, with coffee in hand we watched a parade honoring our Vietnam Vets stream down main street.

All bundled up!

Thanks, Dad, for serving!  

We love you!

Coffee

An ode to my French Press....

There's a reason why coffee tastes so good

when pressed down through a strainer

It is hard to explain, but I think

It has something to do with the container

I feel a bit like a chemist when brewing my drink

Just thought you should know

so next time I pass with French Press in hand

and smile and give you a wink
