I know this girl who works at Starbucks
She's a coffee connoisseur
She can rattle off those coffee orders that are like a foreign language to me
She tests me on the acronyms that are on the side of the cup
My memory is usually not so good
Yesterday I met her and one of her coworkers for lunch
There was alot of Starbucks chatter
It was interesting being with her in this environment
listening to their connection
and Starbucks Stories
This is only a tiny part of her world.
She goes to school full time
Most mornings she is up at the crack of dawn
If she is not scheduled for work at Starbucks, she's exercising her body and brain
She's the most organized person I know
She always makes time for her friends and is usually the one doing all the driving
She is the best friend I know
She likes singing to our dog
Our dog tries to sing with her
It's funny
She is the funniest person I know
She always does her best
I am so proud of her everyday
She makes me want to be a better person
BUT
Don't tell her this...
I'm a Dunkin' Donuts iced coffee drinker.
Nice picture and story! Valerie

Hi Victoria! Thanks for you kind comments and am so happy you love:) Yes, that's my 24 yr old baby I "arted" up.
ReplyDeleteAh ha! I knew it; as I was reading this, I was thinking that the way you spoke of her was the way I talk about my daughter. My baby is also 24, and I admire her more than I can say.
ReplyDeleteI have so enjoyed the last half hour reading you beautiful blog. I'm glad you found me, so I could find you!

Shhh...I'm a Dutch Bros. coffee drinker, so I won't tell if you don't. Beautiful girl!
ReplyDeleteVery cool painting, story! Must of been a fun workshop! I used to work for them for years, now I drink locally roasted coffee and support independents. Nothing like a good cup of coffee and a paint brush in your hand. xo Theresa
