The Riverdale Bookshop & Coffee Depot lives! They can take away our space in town center. They can think we are closed down. But....Our spirit lives! Gerry King stopped by our house with coffee mug in hand on Sunday asking "Can I have a cup of coffee?" Of course you can Gerry, we still make the best coffee in town! Glad to see you, come right in. Jim Coleman called for a game of scrabble on Wednesday. Sure Jim, we'll just hang out here by the pool and play a game! Simon has his bookcases set up and is starting his online book selling. This is his first step. We will continue to look for space for our new shop but will be very choosy as to where it is. Ken, our computer geek, stopped by yesterday to make sure our computers were up and running. Maureen and family came by for swimming and socializing twice this week. Pat and Lance came by on Saturday night for some of Simon's special margaritas and then we all went to S & J for Karoke! Carole stopped by looking for Lance on Tuesday. We continue to support the farmer's market and will see you all there each week. E-mail serves the purpose of keeping in touch. Now we have put together this blog spot. Don't blame Simon if you don't like it, its Audrey's fault. We/I will be talking about things in town and also our progress and encourage others to post as often as they like.
Today as Simon and I were driving on East West Highway, I noticed some activity at the "war zone/dump" on the corner. Looks like they are extending the mess over into Beale Circle. I mentioned to Simon that I should call or go there and find out what's going on before the mess is enlarged and he replied that "Why don't you be apathetic like the rest of the town?" Are we apathetic? Hope not. So, with this blog spot, I may be creating a "ruckus". Which I have been accused of doing in the past. But if that's what it takes, so be it. I am going to leave this for the time being, but I know I will get back to it, especially if I think we need to raise our voices for some progress.
