Pit-stop

In the hour-and-a-half drive from our home to visit our children, I look forward to pulling off the highway at the halfway point for a pit-stop at Hyatt’s Garage. The coffee is hot, fresh and varied. A choice of vanilla, hazelnut, almond, pecan. My favorite: pumpkin spice, available only in autumn.
