The joys of coffee-housing...

There's something you should know about me: I adore drinking coffee with the strength of seven moons!  Something else you should know: I abhor grading.  Both are absolute necessities in my life, and because of my love for the former, I will often combine the two activities to lessen the blow of the latter. 

My favorite place to simultaneously complete both at once?  A quirky, sassy shop down the street from where Jeff and I live in Elizabethtown called Conewago Coffee.  I love sitting at the unique cafe tables, each of which is painted with a different design (the one I find myself sitting at today has a parody of the very famous "American Gothic," only the farmer and his wife are now a ram and his sheep.  Very clever indeed.

The owner, Marti, is a delight and is quick to draw up sparkling conversation as she serves you anything your heart desires, from a "Mooini" in the summer to a hot apple cider in the fall and winter months.  She constantly has new ideas of how to keep her customer base happy and entertained (including music on Friday and Saturday nights). 

And, just in case you're feeling a bit of the creative bug, artwork is always displayed in the shop (much of which is often for sale), and there's a delightful paint-your-own shop downstairs from the coffee house where you can paint pottery until your wrist gets tired!

If you're ever in town, I would highly recommend it!  Coffee will never be the same!
