Trust me. I'm a coffee fusspot. I went into a pecan stall on the road between Birmingham (Al.) and Mobile Bay and asked for two espressos, because we'd not managed to find any decent coffee for a week in b'ham and I'd seen a sign outside this place. The woman looked at me, astounded. "You mean ... just the <i>shots</i>?" she intoned. It was good coffee, though! If they were good espresso, it was worth it. Trust me. I’m a coffee fusspot.

It was good coffee, though!

Of course, I am not a coffee drinker, so.... Jackie, I love seeing those Orchids, but I am sure they wouldn't last at my house! The Christmas Cacti are the only plants I have, and they thrive, even when little attention is paid them!!! And yes, drawing at such a place would be fantastic! Frances, thank you! And now you are sounding like my kids! But wait! You ARE a teacher....you are always with kids!!!!!! Chris, the $3 was for the two cups, but they seemed so small.

Gorgeous orchid photos - I really like them, but killed the only one I owned scarily quickly, so am a bit reluctant to get another one, I think they're quite particular about what conditions they like. Maybe I should take my art stuff to the Botanics one day, I haven't done any drawing for ages. I’ve enjoyed this mini-series a lot!

If the former, that would be fine ...I don't reckon on much change from a fiver for two espressos these days. Was that $3 a cup, or for the two of them?
