We've just got our first coffee shop in L'Anse and I am so worried they are not making it...that our town is too small to support a "real" coffee shop. I know we couldn't support a book store. Our unemployment is somewhere around 25%. Sigh...

But we hunker down together, warm ourselves around bonfires of friendship and neighborliness, and muddle through. <br /><br />I think turkeys don't fly much unless they're in a panic. Maybe the lesson is that if we panic we're likely to run smack into the broad side of a barn - or maybe not. Good for the turkey, getting up and getting on with it.<br /><br />I am prone to studying the message board outside the Eastport Baptist Church as I make my rounds. One day it read "God can do wonders with the pieces of a broken heart." My mind flew to a stained glass artist making something extraordinary from shards of broken glass. And to Mark White's mother painstakingly reassembling "Grandpa's special board" after it was splintered in the Great Barnfalling of 2008. Rebuilding is creativity at its stubborn best.Gerryhttp://torchlakeviews.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
