Looking back on my almost 74 years, I think I can see more clearly now what might have been a good idea to follow up on... I love cats. I love pastry. I love tea and coffee. I love books. And I love art that depicts these things. So...oo possibly 'in another life' I might want to open up a Coffee/Tea Shoppe. I would call it "The Black Cat Cafe" with a sign similar to this hanging outside like an English pub.
Then I would have posters and pictures of black (and black and white cats) hanging about the walls... like these I found on Pinterest:
And I would have windows that were 'inviting' and opened wide so that when the weather was nice, the cafe could be filled with the soft breath of fresh air... (and of course a fireplace for those dark dreary days of winter)
...and there would be hanging and potted herbs about as well as stacks of books here and there.
...and of course we would serve fresh Tea and fresh ground coffee... (in pretty tea cups as well as mugs) and a few choice desserts like brownies, tea cakes, scones, pie, etc.
You could read while you enjoy the ambiance

and possibly just for fun, I would have one wall where people who actually owned black (and black and white) cats could bring pictures of their cats to hang on the wall... and part of the profits could go to homeless cats (of any color) Huh, I guess this is a dream I never knew I had until I began to realize that I've reached my mulberry days and these things can only be found in my imagination. But lucky for me, I have a very vivid imagination... so I can enjoy these things vicariously. So please come and have some coffee or tea with me at The Black Cat Cafe (Do you have a dream?) |
