Coffee + Convo 16

Welcome to another Coffee + Convo! I hope everyone had a good 4th! I spent the day eating great food and enjoying time spent with friends. Did you see fireworks? Cities surrounding me had fireworks all different days…some were the 3rd, 4th, even as late as the 6th. I guess that’s what happens when the holiday is in the middle of the week.
