I am currently sipping a deliciously wonderful blended chamomile tea, but it is more than the 2-methylbutyl angelate and isobutyl angelate creating a chemical sense of calm this morning. This is a good morning. A sunrise worthy of a thousand paintings but inexpressible in words played out its music from first pink note to golden crescendo as I drove to my friends house. Then my weekly appointment at the VA hospital helped reassure me that the process is worth the pain, and now I am at Terra Java.

Terra Java is tucked into a strip mall at 3619 East Indian School Road and everything here,  beverages, food and service, are as wonderful as the sunrise.  Foods are available to fit all diet types including a vegan, gluten-free “Wow” bar that is appropriately named.

Wow, that is as far as I got last week before I couldn’t sit still any longer. I was just too excited because later that day I would get to meet yet another author I really admire. Now I don’t go all fan girl or anything but I truly do enjoy listening to authors I love talk in person, gives me a chance to see if I like them as well as I like their characters. Cherie Priest was no disappointment and as an added bonus Sam Sykes was there as well.

All I can say about last Wednesday was that it was as near perfect a day as the world can bless me with and it all started at Terra Java. Go check them out, visit the amazing collectible bookstore and absolutely perfect antiques mall and your day might just be as wonderful and magic.
