Here I am enjoying my first sustenance at the new Starbucks in town!  This one is only a mile from my house and it has been "under construction" for a loooooooong time – I thought it would never get finished.  But then, there we are driving along yesterday evening and I glance over and there are lights on!  and people moving about! Amazing, we quickly pulled into the parking lot, then had a leisurely sit while we enjoyed our iced tea, vanilla steamer (no whip, extra foam) and marble loaf.  Ahh… this is what I’ve been waiting for, because unlike in Seattle when you can find a Starbucks nearby anytime you need one (and plenty of times when you don’t) they are much harder to come by out here.  Now I will be able to fritter my money away so much more easily. 🙂
