People of Ravens Nest!

In the month and a half that I have worked here at the Coffee shop there are have been many people that I have come to love, like and to be honest, some that I dread seeing! Maybe dread is a little strong, let just say I don't look forward to serving them. As time goes on I will tell you more and more about all of them but today there are a few that are on my mind. COme along as I explain each to you.

My first and ultimate favorite is Caroline! She is the Ravens Nest mascot. To help you get a mental picture, Caroline is 80 years old, about 5 feet tall and as spunky as they come. She walks around with a oxygen backpack that lasts 2-4 hours and is ALWAYS giving hugs. She has NEVER and will never meet a stranger. Her hobbies are pretty much gardening. She is ALWAYS outside her place fixing it up or outside ours cleaning it! She comes in daily to fix the couch covers and once a week to tend our inside plants. As I passed by her house the other day she was cutting her grass with.... scissors! She never stops moving. Ashleigh and I are going to take her to Lunch a week from tomorrow so I will report about that when it happens. It should be a splendid time!

Next person that comes to mind is Ed. Ed is about my height, just a small stature guy. Ed is probably in his.... 60's. NICEST guy ever. Very full of energy and Super friendly. His Daughter Beth and 2 grandkids come in 2 or so times a week. Heis very active in his church and has offered to come play sax with Ashleigh during praise time at our church, SUPER NEAT guy! Last thursday at mic night he played sax/ harmonica then had beth sing, VERY good together! When I see him coming I just smile, today he had an interview and was a little unsure of how it went. Im sure he did great. He is coming back in to tell ASh and I a story, this should be good:)

The list goes on and on.....
