Things are well here. Have subscribed to a truckload of periodicals and having caffeine withdrawls due to a very lame home machine! Hey, the meerkat is much more your style...a bit mischievious!

Hi Holly,
I know what you mean. I have a cute new krups espresso machine and I tried grinding my beans right and couldn't because of a lame grinder so I ordered a home burr grinder and I guess I'll just have to experiment with it. I haven't had a good cup of coffee since our last day at school!

Good luck with your add on! I am always looking for ways to expand my business (and bottom line) Coffee is always a welcoming addition.

Hi julie! My name's Joey and I work at Walden's Coffeehouse. Just wanted to introduce myself and say that I'm looking forward to Fairly Grounded! I truly admire the idea behind it all and it's exciting to know you have the ABC training to back it all up. I'd love for you to stop by Walden's some time.

Hi Joey,
I'm sorry I didn't have a chance to meet you when you stopped by the store. I will definitely come by Walden's soon. Fairly Grounded should be open by September 1 (construction is finally finished but I have to leave town for a couple of weeks). I look forward talking coffee!

Julie you should get your shop on here. Anytime, if ever, these bX-ers come through Reno, they may check here for places to stop. Just a thought.
