They're Back! Friendship Stories: My Sunday Morning Starbucks Friend

I did not intend for this series to run into the Fall, but as the year gets back into full swing, I am seeing friends that laid low in the summer: Mrs. W, for instance. I see Mrs. W. occasionally at weddings, as we have several mutual friends, but our most consistent, if very brief, meetings take place at a Starbucks near our church early on Sunday mornings. Mr. M. and a handful of other guys set up the audio every so often. I watch him do it, and wait until it's time for us all to go to Starbucks. Mr. W. does the same thing for a different Sunday school, and Mrs. W. sits at Starbucks with her coffee and her computer while her husband does his thing. This is a fun chance to see Mrs. W., about the only chance I get, since the church is rather on the larger side. It's comfortable when part of your regular routine coincides with that of a friend.
