Another Southern Belle

I met Savannah and her friend Anne, whom I featured yesterday, at Cafe Medley on a rainy morning while looking for a place to get some good coffee.  A barista at the cafe, Savannah made me a killer sandwich on sourdough bread with lox, cream cheese, onions, tomatoes and cucumbers.  Savannah grew up in this area and was celebrating Fat Tuesday with Mardi Gras beads as she worked the counter. She was friendly, cordial, and patient with me as I plied her with questions. Don't you love her name?! Reminds me of Pat Conroy's novel, The Prince of Tides, although this Savannah looks decidedly happier than the one in the novel.  I have a feeling that this cute little cafe will see a lot of me.

    What a lovely honest face she has, super portrait Kate, and just the name of this cafe conjures up images of tasty treats.

    Savannah is such a pleasant name. I had the good fortune of spending two months
    in Savannah, Georgia a few years back. Like your new found friends, it too was a
    Southern Belle!

    I'll take a chance on anybody's coffee. Maybe even a sandwich, but I'm not a big breakfast guy.

    Good idea to make friends with the local barista, Kate. Hopefully, Savannah is having fun reading your post before heading into work.

    Drat! Now I'm very hungry. Wish Savannah could make a quick pass through my kitchen and whip a little something up. She looks like a nice person.
