Early Sunday morning, Steve and I drove Mary to the train station. Our holiday travel together came to a close and she headed back to the city. New York, that is.
On the way home we stopped by La Prima Espresso in the Strip District on 21st Street. I waited in the car, anticipating that first sip. I photographed Steve carrying the coffee, as he exited the shop and posted the pic in an Instagram story, tagging La Prima.
Later in the day I received a message asking if they could use the photo and I agreed. Complimented that my photo evoked an “ Edward Hopper vibe” wow-
So today I received a delicious pound of Coffee and a souvenir mug as a thank you. That was really nice of you. Thank you La Prima Espresso.

In case you missed the photograph

Well that’s cool!
A real cool happening!
What a wonderful surprise! Enjoy the coffee.
It’s great. Thanks Sue

Wonderful photo. Love the Hopper vibe, my favorite American painter
