My grandpap was born on Groundhog Day in 1888. The first GH Day was the previous year in 1887. I never really knew him, as I was 4 years old when he died at the age of 59. He was a Teamster, driving a horse and delivery wagon, and his love for horses followed him through life. The two horses on the Teamster logo were named Thunder & Lightning.

I remember the story, how gram would put the leftover coffee from supper in a jar, in the icebox, and when Pop woke up early the next morning, he would reheat the coffee in a pot on the stove. This day has always been a sort of connection to him.

PORTLAND, Ore. (KPTV) – "Shalimar Williams had the odds stacked against her when she got out of prison but she never let it stop her and now she owns the only Black and female-owned sit-down coffee shop in Portland".

“Being a child of addicts, being a child of someone who is incarcerated, going to prison and all of this so now literally, my pain is my power,” Williams said. She walked out of Coffee Creek Correctional Facility about thirteen and a half years ago and was determined to turn her life around for the better and to help others."

“While I was in there, there was a coffee cart and a lot of the girls that have about, I think five years or more, a long time they get to work at the coffee cart,” she said. “And I remember visiting my mom there every Sunday and we would get this coffee from these girls and so that stuck with me.”

I wish this gal great success. From the link, this quote of hers just touched me:

"If you knock on my door, I will open it because a lot of doors were not open for me and I will open the door for you.”
