It Begins...

I've had many a good time at Starbucks. I've had dates there with my husband, I've had coffee there with a single friend or a group of friends, we've had Mom's Night Out there, and I've even gone there by myself. Whatever the occasion, I'm always met with a smile and helpfulness that goes beyond the normal employee requirements.

My coffee fetish didn't start at Starbucks though. I first became hooked when I tried a toffee coffee at the local Tim Horton's. But then my beloved Starbucks came to town and I quickly switched over. I am not a stick to one kind of drink kind of gal. I like to try them all. I am often asked if I've tried this or that and I love to share my opinion with you :-) I also like to try, on occasion, the treats that they have to offer.

I have had the pleasure to introduce many of my friends to this fabulous little nook in the world. It has been neat to see so many of them 'get the vision' I have for this place. Starbuck's to me, is a bit of a respite, from all that is going on around me. It helps me take a much needed deep breath, it helps me connect with friends, and it helps me connect with my husband.

One of the most fun things that my husband and I do is when we are out and about or on vacation, we try different coffee places. We've been to several in Grand Rapids, Traverse City, Mackinaw and all around. A couple of my friends suggested that I start a coffee blog and I thought it was a splendid idea.

Check back ever so often to see how coffee and it's host places have blessed my life. ...and if you have a question about a particular drink or treat, leave it here on my blog (or if you know my in person, ask...I'd love to be the one you enjoy your first coffee drink with) and I will try to answer most promptly.

For now....I encourage you to give it a try, you won't disappointed!
