May their memory be a blessing and their bravery never be forgotten, along with the other two, yet to be named American service members that were killed.

Clear plastic cup filled with an iced layered matcha latte, showing white milk at the bottom and vibrant green matcha blended above, topped with ice cubes on a café countertop.
One of this month's special drinks at Småstad Coffee Roasters in #Sonoma – matcha Earl Grey latte. As a tea drinker this is a mind blower. The Earl Grey is added using housemade Earl Grey syrup. Soooo good. 🍵 smastadcoffee.com

The message thanks customers, staff, family, and the community for 27 years of support, reflects on shared memories, and explains the decision to move on to a new chapter.

Thoughts on the "Take Better Photos on iPhone" workshops at the Santa Rosa Apple Store?
Just upgraded and I want to maximize my photo skills. I prefer an in-person workshop versus something online. Bonus for it being free.
