aaand another one!

I would love to have a place that has a vintage candy shop feel. Jars of penny candies, cases of lovely chocolates, and other such delicacies. I am especially enamored with that piano up top. Wouldn't it be a dream to have something like that in a cafe for all to play?

More businesspirations

These are some pictures of a juice bar/bakery. I thought it looked fun!

Cafespiration !

Come siblings, let us dream together.

I would like to start posting things that I like or give me inspiration for my(or our!) future bakery/cafe/bookery.

I really like this coffee in a mason jar mug.

First Batch

I picked up the first roll of film taken on my "new"  Canon AE-1. These are a few of my favorites. I am really excited about this camera and all the moments it shall capture. Jimmy is the benefactor of my new hobby, thanks J dog !

BAGAN

Melanie, and everybody, behold Bagan. Bagan is in Burma and looks incredible. There is even a company there you can pay to give you a ride in a hot air balloon.





































...and there's this place, which is near Bagan...

Dad's list: It's probably too late and I probably won't get anything but oh well!

New toaster! I'm tired of burning my toast!
Drill bit set. My current set is dull.
Running shoes. I wore out the pair I got last year.
Desodorante -make sure it doesn't have zinc or I'll be scratching my armpits like bimbo the chimp.
Shaving brush. For a hot shave every day!
Flash drive. To save my stuff.
VCR to DVD recorder. Then I can get rid of all those videos in the garage.
Telescope. So I can look at Jupiter!
In door pull-up bar. This would be a present to my pecs, and biceps.
Saw blade. 7" circular blade for general use.
Slacks. I must look respectable!
Cable upgrade. Last Saturday I missed 2 games(BYU vs UTEP and Fresno State vs N. Ill.) because I didn't have ESPN. BYU channel, Discovery, and history channel would be cool too.
New Additions to list
Subscription to American Heritage, National Geographic, or Smithsonian magazines.
Photographs of tonight's lunar eclipse. This might be tough due to all the clouds!
