Last Working Day Of 2006

Reflecting on this past year I must say we have a lot to be thankful for here at Longbottom Coffee and Tea. One big one is each other! Family and friends hit the top of my list. Health is another big one, the older I get the more I don't take that for granted. I'm sipping my Shot-in-the-dark as I'm writing this and I must say I do praise God for a fine cup of coffee! When the good Lord invented the Coffee Cherry I think he must of been thinking of folks like myself at times just like this. There's just nothing that compares to cup of the rich nectar.
With a world that seems to be falling apart around us let's try to cherish the simple stuff and make a difference when it comes to the big stuff.
I praise God for my family and friends and I wish you all reading this a healthy and joyous New Year!
