Coffee Shop

[butterflyDNA]

I love getting to spend time at a coffee shop.  For me, it's one of the most relaxing times of my week.  When a friend or family member can take the kids for a few hours, I pack up my Mcklien laptop bag and head to the nearest Panera or Starbucks.  A nice hot cup of tea and I get to surf the web and catch up on the world.  It seems I'm not the only one either.

You see all kinds of people at coffee shops, and most become regulars.  At my local Panera, a lot of times I'll get a free drink because I go there so often.  We are also close to a local hospital, so I see a lot of nurses come in with their Landau uniforms to take a lunch break.  There's something about Panera to me that gives me some peace.  Maybe it's the good, wholesome food.  Maybe it's the classical music, but it gives me a lot comfort.  Their broccoli and cheddar soup doesn't hurt either.
