I sit here.... suppose to be doing paper work (sigh, it will never leave will it?)
I sit here... remembering...... the past 6 years.
I've had so many special people enter my life 'because' of these last six years. I have made friends all from a cup of coffee... special friends.
Good friends who I am hoping to know throughout the rest of my days.
I feel blessed, so much, more than anyone can imagine. And it brings a lump to my throat... I feel by walking out that door that I will be leaving you all, and I now understand what you all mean when you say "it won't be the same"
Mugs will always be the same, but we will miss each other.
We shall meet at another place, another time, and maybe it will be Mugs for a coffee with me at the table instead of behind the counter or pehaps at my new job, wherever that may be.
For now memories are what we have, Good Times and we will never forget each other... names may be forgotten, but the memories will not.
Music has been an important part of my life, and I am so glad that I was able to share that part of me through Mugs.... and for all of you that have come out to enjoy and give a big part of yourself I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I also hope that you will all continue this great evening of entertainment... as I plan to attend as many as possible.. but from the comfort of the seat as a customer.
I've not only been given the gift of music... but have been given pictures drawn for me from young children, a special bean from a special friend (no not drugs), dog bones to share with my babies, flowers, and plants from your very own gardens, decor that added that special touch, your hard work and sweat when we renovated, your patience while we closed when we renovated, and most importantly, I was given the gift of friendship.
Thank you everyone for the most wonderful six years I could have ever imagined... but it is time for me to leave now.... I wont be far.... promise

I bet when you lock the front door for the last time, you'll be doing a skip and a jump! It's been a good run and an experience that you'll never forget, but you know what they say, your hair completely changes every seven years, and so should you. It'll keep you fresh. I'm so proud of all my kids (and grandkids) - woo hoo - I'm so lucky!! xoxoxoxxo
Thanks a lot Rochelle for a great, little place - friendly, welcoming atmosphere, good food, coffee, music - what more could a person ask for?
Good luck with your future endeavors whatever they may be - Best, Carol Knapp
