News from Hi Point Coffee and Cafe 12/17/10

Greetings, fellow snowbunnies! I may not be overly aware of my surroundings, but weather I generally keep up on and this one shocked me! Thought we'd get a couple inches. Oops! I hope you're enjoying the snow, as I am! Here's my quick snow story of the day. I just got home, turned on the tree, started the fire and got ready for a good sit on the couch (where I am right now!). Got settled in, glass of vino and then my dog starts asking to go out. Well, can't ignore that, but unfortunately my dog, Turtle, is very small and so that requires shoveling. So on goes the boots, coat, mittens and I shoveled about 6 inches snow off the patio. I look around for her and where do I find her but snugged up on the couch, on the blanket I left behind. Yes, my dog outwitted me and yet I'm proud of her. Good priorities, she has. :) Cheers and hope to see you soon!! Sarah PS If you're looking for something wonderful to do this weekend, I hope you consider coming to the Reno Baroque Ensemble performance of the Messiah. I sing for this group and it's a total joy for me. The music is outstanding, so if you enjoy Handel, this is the weekend. Tickets and info athttp://www.renobaroque.org/. Sunday Brunch Special  9am to 1pm Glazed ham quiche served with traditional scalloped potatoes, holiday greens and spiced poached pear and cheese tarts. Plus, special breakfast libations! Open Mic Night Friday night 5:30 sign-ups and performances from 6-8:30pm! Book Club Meeting! Book Club gathers this Sunday at 2pm to discuss the mystery Holiday Grind!  Drive for warm stuff! The drive for warm stuff continues!! I took the first load down and was gratified to see that the shelter on Record St. has a really nice "shop" for the homeless to use vouchers to find items that work for them. All your donated items have been put to use already, I'm sure. The volunteers down there told me they need winter items, so if you have yet to bring in your extras, please do so. Our boxes are filling again, so bring in your items and I'll get them down there before Christmas! Thank you!!
