This is seriously cool. I reconnected with elementary school classmates and love that & I'm still in touch with my first best friend at age 5...but finding a pen pal on Medium from across the world? Wow.

What a life story you have! And the coffee roasting! I had no idea - I'm a fiend for coffee. An absolute fiend. Definitely checking out your site.

As a ps, my partner is a hospice nurse. And your doggies are such sweeties!
