The Promised Pictures!!!!!

We love you all!!!!!!








P.S. Thanks Aimee for asking me for these. Thats what I needed to get the job done. I guess!

119 days and another record! Thank you memorial day weekend!

Wow! My girls did great and we beat our last record by almost $200!!! Fantastic! Thank you all again for your support! I promise I will get some new pictures for you all soon! xoxoxoxooxox

111 DAYS! best weekday $$$ so far!

Wow sunshine in the Northwest. It is some what surprising to see the sun! kids play, we work. Some weirdo called today to tell me its obvious to him that the name change and paint color change haven't helped business at all. I thanked him for his input and said goodbye. We then proceeded to have the best weekday yet numbers wise. We must be doing something right! Thanks again to all of our loved ones and friends for your support! I'll get new pictures of us soon! xoxoxox

98 days and a personal best!

Loving life, we celebrated Eric's 38th birthday here at our plae since we don't leave Kingston. We had our best day yet today! Thanks to all the support of our loved ones and new friends our business is looking to be a success! I will continue to work hard and continue building! Love you ALL!

A little sentimental!

This is the last picture taken of myself, my dad and my brother together. I think this was also the last time we were all together. I think of him often. I have a lot of peace in my heart knowing that he is free of his body. You never know when your last picture together will be taken.
I am thankful for my parents!

Wow!

So two entries in one week thats a record for me.
I wish I had more to talk about other than coffee but that is the main subject here at the Andersons! We are so busy now I need back up on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I have called on my good friend Jen to help out on Saturdays. I hired a little cutie Jess [(who happens to be my old boss Tim's buddys niece) we like to keep it in the family] to work on Sundays and Mark has been known to make a sandwich or two. As a matter of fact he now has his own apron!!!!! He thought I was crazy when I told him he has to wear an apron but I say those are the rules!
Mark got a new toy this week. It is a vinyl cutter so we can now do all of our own signs. I tell you that Mr. Mark is some kind of crazy do-it-yourselfer!
Look at this ugly old sign we will be replacing



With this lovely design!

I tell you that Mark is good!

SO on a more personal note the kids are amazing! Peri getting smarter and sweeter every day. Quinn's talking and playing like a 4 year old. They still love the shop and i love having them with me. This is a true mom and pop joint!
I love you all!!!!!

86 days

We dont have any really recent pictures of the shop but here are a couple of the kids!

Quinn took his first solo trip to his grandparents! He had a great time

Love you all so much! The Andersons!

happy Easter!

Last night we colored eggs and other fun eastery stuff with the kids and this morning they will wake up to the baskets of goodies that the good old bunnie kindly left for them. We will have our shop open today from 9 to 2 or whenever we choose to close. We had planned to hunt for the eggs that the bunnie had hid in the garden at the shop but it is pouring down rain. They might have to put oon their rain coats and do the search anyway.

So, I just want to say I love my god daughter but somehow I forgot her birthday I suppose the coffee is running interference in my brain.

GRACE WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!

Happy Easter to all!!!XXOXOXOXOXOOXOXOX

52 days!!!!!

Missing and loving our friends and family! We havent talked to our loved ones as much as we wish we could. We hope you all know how much we appreciate your support.

I think we are a little sleepy! By the sign of our children.

more more more shop talk and other stuff

Our afternoon girl"Anna" and Peri making coffee!!!!
Where did Quinn go?


So 45 days into the shop and business still improves weekly. We couln't be happier! We have so much to do, so we squeeze as much as we can into each and every day.
This year started with a bang! not only did we buy a coffee shop but my sweet grandma has beat cancer once again! My mom has a lot on her plate taking care of her since her memory is gets worse and worse.
This last February was quite intresting we worked very hard, I lost my dad to an abdominal anurism (sp?) and then I had a birthday. All of it went by like a blur!
We hope that all is well with our loved ones and look forward to our next visit with all of our friends and family!
(mom and dad we hope you are having fun in the rv. we miss you & love you! Talk soon)

coffee shop coffee shop coffee shop

Today is day 22 ( no i'm not counting!) Each week the shop gets a little busier and a little easier to run. Although we are getting close to starting the remodel and that could be a bit crazy! The shop keeps its self alive and eventually it will pay its owners. I can't wait for you all to see my home away from home. I got up early this morning so thats why I have the time to do this. I will try to post more pictures next time I wake up early. (sunday shop hours are 7-4) So getting up early meant5:30 instead of the 6 am sunday wake up. Allright love to you all!!!!!

Lots to say!

Today is Sunday! Now we have just 6 days until we take possession of our new Coffee shop. We are very excited and work hard every day making signs, taking care of paperwork, redoing price lists, product lists, and all the other lists and plans that come with owning your own business. We look forward to seeing you all at our shop!!!!!

Friday 1/ 18/08 my grandmother Pearl 88 years old had surgery and by the end of the day was sitting up in a chair with a smile on her face. The doctor seems very optomistic and should be able to go home by wednesday. I am sooo proud of her!

Espresoo? Again? Yeah!!!!!!!

Last night we signed a contract to buy our own coffee shop. We are happy! It is currently a drive thru but we will transform it into a walk in/ drive thru combo with some excellent service. We will start showing pictures of the transformation so keep watching to see what we do next.

The New Year!

Cheers to the New Year! It is bringing New things for the Andersons! We are days away from buying an existing coffe shop to transform into our own. We are excited. We are scared. We are looking forward to our future.
So before we forward to today you should see what we have been up to.
