Today was 4th of July. We started the day by having breakfast at Bert’s Café (funny side note, there’s an Ernie’s café just up the street from them). They had been voted “best breakfast in town” in the local paper and I can see why. Food was delicious and they had great service; super friendly staff!
After that we went in search for a good cup of coffee and ended up at Revive Coffee (which had been voted top 3 coffee shops in South Lake Tahoe). Not only was their coffee good, but they had all kinds of Bible verses and inspirational quotes posted around their shop that blessed and encouraged me. One of my favorites was “no wifi, enjoy a conversation free of charge.” I have to admit that I am addicted to my phone (hi, my name is Vivian, and I’m a phone addict, lol). I’ve been trying to break the habit. This trip is helping me because we’re off the grid a lot of times. But, then when we get reception again, it seems like I fall right back into it. I need to find balance. I feel like I’m moving more towards finding that balance, but I’m not there yet... I pray I will be one day.
We spent the rest of the afternoon sitting outside listening to live music. This was the first year that Lake Tahoe cancelled their fireworks show over the lake, which stunk, but we still had a nice day enjoying the freedoms that God has blessed us with and so many brave people sacrificed their lives for. May God continue to bless America.
