Coffeehouse Research

When you own a coffeehouse, you always have to keep an eye on the competition, even if the competition is 1200 miles away! Today I bumped into this cute little coffeehouse in Ashland, Virginia and ordered my regular (a two shot breve latte with a splenda on the bottom). Very nice shop with a huge room in the back for nightly music. The baristas were super friendly and my latte was just what I needed to kick off the morning!

Beautiful Ashland, Virginia

We are staying right outside of this cute little town called Ashland, Virginia. As we drove to my Aunt's house, we passed rolling hills and beautiful farmland. I took this picture this morning at a horse training facility. The weather is really nice compared to New Orleans; not as much humidity. I can wear jeans and not pass out from the heat!
