Bakery Dreams

Don't you just love
Family Circus

This is one that hit home with me.
~Bakery Joy~
How can you stand in a bakery and not
feel warm and cozy.

*
Choosing a treat.... looking at
everything displayed. It can be a
very hard decision!!

*
I feel so sorry for the children who have
never had this kind of experience.
The bakery counter in the supermarket
is just NOT the same as going in
a little local bakery.

*
A lot of the espresso shops have a goodies
display. It is a little bit more like a bakery.

Holly & I
Have a dream
**
She does want to continue her art studies after
graduation with the hope of becoming a
Cinemagraphic Sculptor.
She wants to help create the

creatures and costumes
they use in making movies

like they do at Weta Workshop.
But...in addition
***
We both love to bake.
*
One day....
We want to own an
Artsy Bakery-Espresso cafe
***
We want it to be a place where just

walking in the door makes you feel good.

You can check your troubles outside

and leave the rest of the world behind.
***
Besides having wonderful homemade treats,
it would be filled with a magical assortment
of artist's work displayed and
available for sale.
***
We want it to have an old world,

Tolkien inspired, Bag-end /Shire
Middle Earth atmosphere
**
It will seem like there are actually elves
baking in the kitchen.
***
As you finish brushing the last bit of crumbs
from your lap, you will blink and
wonder if that was a faerie
you just saw fly off with
part of someones
cinnamon
roll.
***
At this point....Holly is a sophomore

in high school.
We have several more years to collect

and perfect our recipes.

I have worked as a barrista in the past,

so I can whip up marvelous mochas.
**
We actually hope to travel for a year after
she graduates. We want to visit
England and Scotland
For some reason it feels like home in my
heart, and I have never even
been there before!
**
We also want to travel around the U.S.A.

in an RV,visiting lots of festivals

and taking art workshops.
We love to meet folks and share stories.
**
Right now we are just trying to figure
out how we will finance it all.
My wise Granny Ruth always said...
"The money will come"
And you know what.....
She was always right about that!
