Look here every morning: Morning Place To Be

Where it began...I can't begin to know it. But come and see!

                       

Where it all began...must have been in Lawrence, Kansas, in August of 2025. 

My good wife Laurie and I flew to Kansas City to be with one of my sisters (I have 5), 

Janet, and her husband, Nate. It was a very pleasant time of touring the city, the 

countryside, the small towns, and the parks found in central Kansas.

When Nate told me about his "$4.95 Sip and What Not" (not the real name) at the

 local coffee-and-bagel restaurant, I just had to do it. I was raised looking for the 

"good deals".

When we got back to Charlotte, North Carolina, I checked out the local one. And 

sure enough, every morning I could get a cup of coffee (limit one every two hours, 

mind you), and I liked adding a blueberry bagel just to ease my conscience.

Lo and behold, this website began with that theme. "Morning Place To Be."

I like to write, so this will be one of those "not so heavy with all the news" places to 

go, as you, too, enjoy your coffee every morning.

As they say (sometimes, though it gets worn out), "Enjoy."

Be blessed,

Steve Martin

P.S. Nate in the top photo is on the left. More grayer, though a wee bit younger, 

than I am. Ha!
