A Day in Arab

And here is a pictoral essay of my lunchbreak in Arab.

The holy mecca of "Between the Bookends," an awesome bookstore that deals in primarily used books.

In case you weren't sure what they sold. This sign is what initially caught my attention.

And this big black lab was actually blocking the door the first time I came in. I had to step over him to get inside!


This is the owner, Cliff, and another lab, he always has the two labs in the store with him. Cliff also does photo restoration in his store. A really interesting guy. He is also a big atheist, but I get to show him some Jesus love occasionally!

This is "Mr. Darwin" (the dogs name, no joke) guarding the door. He won't let you out if you haven't paid!


And after I stock up on books, I've got to read them (or work on a story!), so I head over to Rooster's coffee, I think the sign was rather clever.



And old coffee grinder for decoration.

Here is a shot of the sitting area. They did a good job of keep the country feel. It is like a cross between Starbucks and Cracker Barrell.


And here is the teapot! Isn't it awesome! And it is only a little more expensive than a large cup of tea. Weehee! A pot of tea and book! What more could I ask for....well....other than some company to share it with....but someday.
