@gingerw Volunteer Mentor, it is easy to see you know the place well. The ceilings are high, the floors are mostly large black and white tiles. The cafe is in an older part of town, where buildings are lovingly restored. The rest room area is wood paneling, but not the outdated 60's kind. More of the old turn of the century feel and vibe....because it actually is turn of the century. Early 1900's to be exact.
Everything is spotless, and true to the time when it was originally built.
@parus keeps our plants alive, because if Mamacita was in charge, they would all be dead by now. To say that she has a green thumb is an understatement. Not only does she keep the flowers and plants healthy, her wisdom and caring keep all of us going as well. Everyone feels low from time to time. Everyone feels lonely from time to time. But when you are surrounded with lovely people such as these and so many more, you feel hope. Hope is what keeps you going.

We are indeed, better together.

@mamacita @lioness @parus A wide porch with some comfortable chairs, where we can greet people with a smile as they arrive. A fireplace with a small group of more comfortable chairs, a sofa or three. A "family style" table with benches, coffe/tea cups in a group there. A big ol' fan hanging from the ceiling to move the air in summer, and circulate warm air in the winter. Garden window full of @parus plants and suncatchers. Did you catch a peak of my black cat Tessie Belle sleeping amongst the greenery? Ah, such a healing space!
Thank you all for building this cyber "Full Spectrum Cafe".
