I had a favorite cafe-bookstore in a nearby city and it changed ownership and just is not the same. I too miss it. So glad though I have special memories of those fun times. Love your sketch. Your style is wonderful. Have a great weekend friend.

That is why I just moved (yes again) to an Oregon college town that has wonderful cafes and coffeehouses to enjoy and sit for however long you like. All the wonderful folks of all types enter and saunter through. Some of the coffeehouses here have been in operation for many years. They are not chains. I hope you can perhaps visit Portland often to help fend off your longing for the life of a cafe artist.

They don't have quite the same feel, though I do spend time in Panera, it's usually a bit busier than I'd like. It's better than nothing.Kathy A.
