Tell us more about your coffee shop or barista skills.
I currently have two coffee shops in the same town, one is in a historic 100 year old downtown building, the second one is on the other end of town, in a new building with a drive-thru. I've been to several Coffee Fest seminars and love every minute of them. My daughter has competed twice in the Latte Art contest at Coffee Fest. I've met many wonderful people like Jack from JP's, Matt, Brett from Java Java, the entire Dillanos Roasting team and many other coffee lover's too numerous to mention! I've had experience remodeling two historic buildings, one buildout of a newer location, Coffee Fest, Latte Art, Landlord/lease issues, employee issues, competitors to deal with, and the normal lovely things about owning your own business, and "living the American Dream.... haha". I've learned alot and can speak from real, every day experience.... the good, the bad and the ugly!
What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?
I've never been to Seattle........ (Portland, Oregan is the closest).... I want to travel to Hawaii to a Kona plantation/farm, and anywhere else in the world where coffee is grown. I would also love to visit Italy and Paris. I love the ocean and anywhere tropical.... I just want to go to St. Somewhere.........anywhere there are palm trees.
About Me:
Married for 27 years, three children, well actually four because my oldest daughter just got married and we love him like a son...... I love to travel anywhere I can hear the ocean and I love the coffee world, who knew there was more to coffee than Folgers, Maxwell House and Chock full O' Nuts.....? And I am a true Parrot Head. Nothing puts a smile on your face like kicking back to a Jimmy Buffett CD, except maybe Kenney Chesney.............. "I am just a hula-girl at heart."
About My Company:
Established in 2003. First, local hometown gourmet coffee shop. No automatic machines for us, we make espresso the real way...
