One of the regulars headed off on a much needed holiday. On the way out of town he picked up some chipperdoodles for the kids, and hit the road running ...
On his return some time later, he had much to share ... but first and foremost was the enjoyment of the first cup of coffee on his return ...
"Boy, I've sure missed this," he exclaimed as he lifted the mug to his lips. He took a long slow sip and smiled, "yeap, I've missed this ..."
"It's good to have you back ..." said Joanie.
"It's good to be back ..." he agreed as he took another sip of his coffee, "it was nice to get away, but it is always nicer to come home. Especially when you have a place like this to come home to..."
Joanie turned her attention to some other customers who had come in, helping Anna and Kriss prepare a number of orders ...
Meanwhile, at the table the returning regular, mused about the dearth of enjoyable and even drinkable coffee on the road from Minnedosa to Alberta; "Sure you can get you caffeine quota, but if you want good coffee," He raised his mug for emphasis, "LIKE THIS ... you're pretty hard pressed."
"Tim's just don't cut it any more eh?" asked another regular.
"Nope," the first regular continued, "we still stop for donuts and stuff for the kids, and I take a coffee, but it just doesn't compare ..."
The crew gathered at the table nodded their heads in agreement.
"It's the coffee, the staff and the setting ..." the first regular mused as he emptied his coffee mug, and stood to get a refill, "you just can't beat THAT combination ..."
