Sometimes you want to go
Where everybody knows your name
And they're always glad you came
You want to be where you can see
Our troubles are all the same
You want to be where everybody knows your name.
Visitors to Abilene often comment about how kind and welcoming everyone is, but as a local, I love how everyone knows not only my name but what I like.
Last week my husband and I traveled out of town for a funeral. Before we left, he offered to pick up coffee while I finished packing. As he walked into Amanda’s Bakery & Bistro, he pulled out his cell phone to read my order, but the staff told him what I wanted before he ever said a word.
Other times, I’ll stop by Sips or Ortus Café in the morning and the same thing happens. It always makes me smile when we exchange nods and smiles knowing that we both know my order.
