So, a few weeks ago a dear friend invited me to an Ethiopian coffee ceremony. Through another friend, these beautiful ladies were visiting here in Alex. So when my friend told me about it, my first reaction wasn’t really excited as I don’t like coffee. Unless it is in the creamy, sugary, frothy iced form from Caribou. But as someone who is curious about other cultures, travel and when she said there would be popcorn, I was all over it. I learned that the Ethiopian coffee ceremony is all about the time, conversation and then the nap. A nap??? Which sadly we didn’t partake in, but the visit was wonderful. Isn’t coffee supposed to energize you, make you all jittery? I mean that is what it does to me. To take a nap after coffee? So….why don’t we nap on the daily? Americans are all about “the time”. A rushed time, no slowing down for anything. We should totally change this. So the other day when there was the lightest of rain, the skies were dark at 4:30, the faint sound of thunder was rolling, the songbirds were right outside my window singing so sweetly…I did it. I took what I claim to be the best nap I have ever napped.
And guess what? I really like Ethiopian coffee.
On to Miss Kaitlyn’s senior session from last fall.

Her little brother came along to her session. I think he had a good time. He walked around the farm and found little things to keep him busy. I couldn’t help to snap a couple of him. He is so sweet.
One of my favs!
And this next one…her brother took. And I should watch out, he did a great job!Congratulations Kaitlyn! Best wishes for you as you graduate!
