Gezelligheidsvereninging

I found out yesterday, for all you Pella people, that there are Dutch Letters in the Netherlands. I had a friend email me suggesting that they're probably just called letters and she was absolutely correct! I've also been eating a lot of speculaas, which are the thin ginger/cinnamon cookies we have in Pella. I have fond memories of eating those when I was younger, and for some odd reason Super Value also comes to mind.
It's a lovely day for a final Nederland exam. It's about 55 degrees F and very windy. The sun keeps coming in and out of light rain. I bought apples today at an organic food store that somebody had shown me in an alleyway. I quite like it.

I've also been planning my future coffee shop. I picked out the name: Gezelligheidsvereninging, which, in Dutch, means a social club. I would hope, then, that people couldn't pronounce the name and begin to call it "The G Spot." People like to nickname their coffee shops in the U.S. Someday... that's what my life calling is... to open a coffee shop in a town like Iowa City. I've jotted down designs of interior setups I've seen around here, as well as jotting down types of food, beer, and deserts I'd like to offer. My friend Angela is all about the idea and has suggested these amazing sounding deserts that she could whip up. I want my coffee shop to be organic, and I think that would be a big selling point for a lot of people, especially in ten years time, when a venture like this could go through for me.
