Marriage is a wonderful thing. So far today we slept; I read while Majell slept even longer. Now we are downstairs with cups of Ethiopian Sidamo (Stumptown) in hand and Majell is preparing an incredible breakfast. Not to mention the classical music that is our background choice of the morn'. I think I am going to like this married life.....

The newest addition to the family: La Marzocco "Linea" the historical classic.

Coffee Fact of the Day: In the mid 1600s coffee houses in London were called: "Penny Universities." They were called this because the price of entry was a penny, but the knowledge that could be gleaned there was invaluable.

Today is Tuesday which means we have our woderful homegroup at the Johnson's (our adopted family). This is the youngest Johnson, Luke, stealing a kiss from Majell. He's young and cute so I guess I will let him kiss my wife ; )

Our last night in Dominican Republic. Photo shoot just prior to having an awesome dinner of coconut sea bass, a very common fish down there.

Disgusting, but oh so much potential. This is the beginnings to Backporch Coffee Roasters, LLC. We are redoing floors, walls, ceilings, electric, gas lines, bathrooms, etc. Projected opening: Early Fall '06.

Hi. We are Dave and Majell Beach and are happy your are viewing our site. We were married July 1, 2006 and are currently living in beautiful Bend, OR. We love it here and hope to stay for quite sometime. In two months we are opening a small coffee roasting company here in town so be prepared to hear a lot about that in future postings.
