Ice Cream Shop

I met my daughter, sil and grandkids met at this cute ice cream shop in their little town this afternoon.  I got there before they did and was sitting with my camera looking for photo ops when I noticed this cute little scene right outside the shop.  

I love the pink and aqua colors together.

My heart is grateful:

for the cooler fall weather

Coffee Shop at Night

The other night some friends and I attended a meeting and afterward we decided to go to the coffee shop to visit with each other.  I got there first and discovered that 1) all the inside tables were taken and 2) it was open mic night which meant we probably wouldn't be able to have any kind of a comfortable conversation.

But...for the first time in many months, the weather was beautiful and perfect for sitting outside.  It's been a very long time since I sat outside and it was glorious.

Sometimes it's the very smallest of pleasures that are the most meaningful.

Man and Abandoned Cafe

I'm so far behind doing my photo-a-day, sheesh.

My friend and I went on a field trip to one of the small towns about an hour away from Abilene.  There were several deserted/abandoned structures along the Main Street.

This is one of them, once-upon-a-time a Cafe.  The roof, as you can see, has collapsed into the building and there was nothing else to see except the "Cafe" sign.   One can only imagine what a cute place it must have been in its day.

The mural on the outside was dated and is only a couple of years old.  

My friend offered to pose to give the building some perspective.

My heart is grateful for: 

the beautiful weather we had that day

A House Cafe

A couple of friends of mine went to this house-cafe last week and told me about it.  Allegedly they're hiring and I need a job.  They're only open for lunch, so it would be a perfect place to work.

It's so sweet outside and in.

My heart is grateful for:
