Remember that Conway Coffee Crawl we began in August? We realized that we had less than 24 hours to complete the card, and we still needed to visit eight different places. So after supper, I pulled out the handy dandy post-it notes and listed each place with their hours of operation. I discovered that we could still get to two of them that evening.
My orchestra boosters' meeting had been canceled, giving me more time than originally anticipated. Aaron and I struck off for one of the coffee shops, where I thoroughly enjoyed the pecan flat white, decaf, half sweet, extra hot (I have become that person!). After I went to bed, Katherine and Aaron drove to the other shop that stayed open till 10:00. They did school, so their time together wasn't quite as fun, but coffee does always make things better!
The next day was a Tuesday, which is the day Aaron has set aside to work with the Lavukaleve translation team late into the night. We had some flexibility that morning with a later start to the work day. The two of us enjoyed some crepes for breakfast, and got more stamps on our coffee crawl card. The day began to feel like the Amazing Race! We recruited our moms to help, Katherine and my mom went to the cat cafe together. Aaron and his mom took advantage of his upcoming birthday to have a birthday coffee together.
We had to be finished no later than 3:00 because I had cello students arriving and Aaron had a Zoom call waiting for him. We did it! One of our kids asked about a prize, we should be getting a t-shirt for our fully stamped cards. Mostly we just enjoyed each other's company and supported our community and strenghthened our marriage and drank a lot of coffee (thanks to Aaron donating plasma towards our "fun money"!).
