Grace visit

I’m still behind on the blog so this is from a few weeks ago.

Our friend Grace visited us from Seattle and spent the day with us. It was so wonderful to see her.

Grace and I started on the same day at Starbucks in 1999. We met in the shuttle on the way from the parking lot to the office and have been friends ever since.

Over the years Grace’s husband Bruce, and Jeff always talked about fitness when we talked about work. Then we’d finish the work talk and have fun eating fun dinners and playing board games.

Over the years we’ve watched their daughter Lacey grow up. Here we are 10 years ago with her goofing around.

Starbucks has given me a lot of things over the years a career, salary, free coffee. But the friends I’ve made there have been the best part.
