Barns have stories to tell and I think as photographers we see those stories in their pealing paint, weathered wood, and missing boards. Your story telling is getting along so well, I found myself laughing along as I read! Do hope you make it back for that glass of red wine and conversation. You might title it the Coffee Shop Chronicles: Wine Edition!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11013919598339085102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346935990049787898.post-26108407964088524702014-10-21T15:36:43.602-04:002014-10-21T15:36:43.602-04:00What a fun adventure and does sound as if you have...What a fun adventure and does sound as if you have found the perfect coffee shop, and maybe a new friend. I too love barns and took lots of barn shots on a recent trip to Illinois. I actually thought of you at one of the places I visited. It was a craft event which takes place every fall at a barn built in the 1800s. A really awesome barn too... I thought of you as one of the vendors had all sorts of pumpkins, gourds , and fall veggies.... The sign in the front ....

Um, hold the pickles, please. :-)<br /><br />This was such a fun Chronicle. I loved your descriptions of the place and the people, and your interactions with them were fascinating. You've come a long way from your first coffee shop writings, when you were too shy to even point your camera in the general direction of another person. Perhaps your acquaintance with "Sam" will bud and grow into a real-life friendship.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346935990049787898.post-2095065759398686062014-10-20T15:10:08.091-04:002014-10-20T15:10:08.091-04:00You are meant to do both.

Looks like you and I share a similar penchant for travels off the beaten path. And, you new coffee house sounds divine. Those intriguing conversations with almost strangers and the hints of new friendships and the magic of everyday that opens before us - only when we open our hearts - now that's a real story! Sometimes you are a writer who takes pictures, and sometimes a photographer who writes words, and all of the combinations are simple who you are.
