Back to school time

     It's back to school time, and even though my kids are older, I've always found this time so exciting.  At the start of any new school year, everyone has the opportunity to reinvent himself and refocus on those goals that keep us moving forward.  And, even though we aren't in school here at the Coffeehouse, we learn something new every day to help us be and do better.
     With the fair behind us, we can take everything we've learned in these past weeks and fine-tune our goal of providing the best customer service and the freshest, well-prepared foods and drinks possible.  The support we have received this past month reminds us why we are so grateful to be part of this great community.  We take each comment and suggestion seriously and love that everyone helped us prepare and execute for the fair.  From recipe suggestions to other thoughtful ideas, it truly was a team effort, and for that, we will be forever grateful.  One good friend even stopped on her way to the doctor's with a great idea she had, and it's these small gestures that make us want to improve every day.
     We did have a great time being part of the fair but I am also a little bit grateful that we have almost a year before we have to do all that over again!  Now we can get back to making this coffeehouse run smoothly and efficiently with every latte, every sandwich and every bag of coffee we sell.
     Moving forward, we'd love to host a book club or your play group get-togethers.  With the kids back in school, need a place to meet friends after morning drop-off?  We hope you will join us for a Hardwick Latte or a cup of soup and share your day with us.  Need a gift card?  They make great gifts and we can even build a gift basket in any price range.  We'd love to partner with you to design the perfect gift!
     Keep your suggestions coming, and we look forward to seeing you on the common!
