Progress

The marching drum continues to beat.  It's amazing how it seemed like we pushed sand around for days, making no visible progress (to my layman's eyes), and then suddenly - bam! - all of the framing is done.  It went from a porte corchere to an actual structure.  Now, when you walk in the door, you can see the coffeehouse taking shape.  There is masking tape on the ground outlining the new counters, showing where the refrigerators and espresso machine and saloon doors will go.  You can practically smell the espresso.

We've had some good breaks in the last week.  Scotty, basketball fanatic and unresting worker, is back from his illness and hard at work once again.  The inspection process is going smoothly.  We had a stretch of good weather.  Best of all, Jim actually fell from the rafters - and still showed up to work the next day!  Tomorrow, I will post some new pictures as we work on the roofing.

Also, spread the word that Margaret Diehl of South Whidbey HS and the Youth Engagement Squad is teaming with our new AmeriCorps, Glenn, to launch Cafe Espanol, a Spanish club for all ages and levels.  Glenn will be posting more information soon.
