It's November, and Still Hanging in There!

     If someone had told me a year ago today what our world would look like, I'm sure I would have not believed it.  Masks, empty airports, empty classrooms and plenty of uncertainty to go around, and it's anyone's guess when it will all end.  I have to think that we have learned something valuable this year in that no matter what our beliefs or backgrounds, there is more that binds us, more we have in common, and we are stronger together.  And so this is our working motto as we continue to limp towards 2021.  Without our outdoor space to provide additional seating, we continue to lean on the support of the community around us, and are grateful for such great support.
     As always, Caitlin and Emily are hard at work coming up with new ideas and with the holidays looming, are already planning exciting and fun things to give everybody an excuse to take a break from working at home and home-schooling.  My hat goes off to all the parents with kids at home working through the school work.  My kids would not have made it easy for me, and I would have considered running away every single day.  So home school parents, great job for sticking with it!!
     Shop Small Business Saturday is coming up on November 28, so stay tuned for coffeehouse news to help kick off your holiday shopping.  Do you have other ideas that where we can try to help?  We are game to try just about anything so give us a shout and let's see how we can help each other out!  Want a platter of muffins for Thanksgiving guests?  We can do that!  Want coffee and pastries to bring in to work to be that office hero?  We can make you look so good!  Need an afternoon pick-me-up before starting the afternoon marathon of meetings, call ahead and we can have lunch ready for you!
     Ok, Hardwick, let's help each out!  Give us a shout and let us know how we can be here for you.  I think 2021 is going to be amazing and that keeps us going.  Stop in say hello, message us and say hi, drop us a line and most of all, keep us in your thoughts because you are always on our minds!  Stay safe.
