Evening on the First Day of Winter

We like our view down Front Street.  About closing time the Village goes through a transition between bustle and repose..things slow down...and night just settles in.

We have a lot of store visitors right about now - someone on the way to a friend's home for dinner and needs to bring a bottle of wine while others just have picked out what they are going to eat and a glass with dinner or appetizers changes things from ordinary to a little more special.  We have a nice shop so we can learn about that as our customers generally like to chat a bit and it is more that we sell to friends than just "wonder who that was".  We learn about that when we do the gift wrapping and look forward to listening.  People are friendly and like to talk a bit.  It is very nice.

Everyone's taste is a bit different and we try and remember about each person in that way. Also nice. We have so many friends. So many.

We are so blessed.
