All Good Things Must Come to an End…

It is with great sadness that I write this entry. Devon leaves us next week to begin her journey at Temple. Quickly becoming a vital member of my staff, Devon put all my fears concerning hiring summer staff to rest. Even arriving her first day on time! For those of you not familiar with past history, I have no tolerance for lateness, and it seemed as though every new hire was disregarding that policy their first day. Let’s just say, some were calling me Donald, “Your Fired!”

Devon has been a blessing. Giving me some much needed time to focus on the business and even some summer R&R time with my girls. She is a daily breath of fresh air. When asked how she is? “Awesome!” always replies Devon followed by a huge smile. So refreshing, it was contagious. She brought even more laughter to our days. That’s huge, laughter in my shop is vital. My hope is that our coffee and laughter can be a part of making our guests’ day a little brighter, maybe better, and Devon was certainly a part of that.

Guests enjoyed her youthful perspective, I her energy, positive outlook and willingness to learn. I am confident that Devon will accomplish all she sets out to and touch so many more the same way she has touched us.

Many more AWESOME days Devon…

Awww....I know Harris will miss one of "his girls". I know she will achieve all the goal that lay infront of her.
