First of all, thanks to the invincible R.C., we now have a subscribe button so you can follow along with this busy Boomer.
Second, I have to tell you about the coffee shop where the web page fixing went down. It had that “fresh brewed coffee in your comfy clothes and no where else to be” smell of anticipation and relaxation. They served amazing coffee, donuts, AND they had vinyl records for sale. The same vinyl records I might have owned a few decades ago. (Caydence Records & Coffee)
It was fun to be out visiting on a sunny day over coffee and donuts. We chatted about work and family and pets. We shared stories and compared notes about all three and let R.C. work on the web page. This was an inter-generational coffee klatch at a super millennial coffee house and we enjoyed every moment. The synergy of old and new is envigorating for all.
But beyond the chit chat and coffee and sweet treats and interweb, I left with a sense of nostalgia. Memories of my last elementary school birthday party with friends and home made cake. My mom bought me the Bobby Sherman album and we sang along with goo goo eyes and loving hearts to Julie, Julie, Julie do you love me? And when my sister had her birthday and MY MOM bought her the Steppenwolf album with “Born to be Wild”.
But mostly I thought about how the modern coffee klatch takes place in the coffee shop with the wi fi and how it used to be in homes at the kitchen table. I am old enough to have enjoyed both. And while I can’t say one is better than the other, I will admit I miss the days when anyone could drop in at anytime and the coffee pot was always on. You were likely to get Folgers, or Sanka instant on a rough day. But no one worried if your hair was in curlers or the house was a mess; you were just glad to have the company.
This was a delightful day!

Awesome blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere?
A theme like yours with a few simple tweeks would really

What a lovely reflection. I can almost smell the coffee and hear the hum of conversation in that shop. There’s something special about those intergenerational meetups where stories, technology, and memories all blend together.
The nostalgia really comes through, especially with the vinyl albums and birthday party memories. It’s amazing how music can instantly transport us back to a specific moment in time.
I also appreciate your thoughts on how coffee gatherings have evolved. The cozy kitchen table with a pot always on feels different from a Wi Fi filled café, but both have their own charm. There’s something deeply comforting about those drop in anytime days, when connection mattered more than presentation. Thanks for sharing such a warm and thoughtful glimpse into both worlds.
