The bitter with the sweet...
The same day I saw the sign up for Refuge I received the news that one of my favorite places to meet up with people for chatting and fun is closing its doors on January 17th.
This is the Front Porch Coffee House (affectionately known as Fro Po Co Ho). I have spent hours and hours here.
Denny, Lori and I performed here one night under the name "Esther's Den" and we (if I may brag a bit!) packed the place out - not because we were necessarily polished and perfect but because we have so many wonderful, supportive friends and family. We performed right there in front of that window. And see the little table there on the right - the 2 seater? That is where my friend Jack and I sat to talk about the screenplay that I wrote. He is an awesome writer and he agreed to give me feedback. I couldn't have thought of a better place than Fro Po to meet. The table back there on the far left is where I met with a bunch of high-school friends just this Christmas. And that couch is comfy cozy and a good place to kick back and converse.
This is the counter that you see upon entering the front doors. This is where I have ordered a multitude of my favorite drink that has no name. A cold mocha, caramel concoction with whipped cream on top, swirled with more caramel. I have to get the recipe to keep with me so I can have it made at other places...Not that it would be nearly as good as it is here of course. This is also the counter where my friend Ryan introduced me to the caramel macchiato (sp?)... Another tasty drink. This is where he took the final photograph that appears in this video testimony he created for VWS.
I don't have a picture of the back room but Lori, Steve and I have whittled away many an hour back there on our laptops...This is where one day we decided to break the record of geekness and talk, IM, e-mail and text all at the same time.
All of these beautiful times with the people I love at this one little place called the Front Porch.
I will miss you, Fro Po...Thank you for the memories...
