I get the elusive peaberry coffee (Tanzanian) from one roaster an hour away....but for this coffee, worth the drive!! They usually always have some roasted and ready to go.....
I think perhaps she may have been reacting to the details of an actual dancer.....:oops:
:rolleyes:;)
PS: hey we came up wth a good club name...."The Detail Club"or "Detail Shop".:)
Going thru family albums to select images for a funeral service I ran across these of my grandfather and grand mother.
