For years, every Thursday night at Borders was special. That’s the night my Knitting group met at the Borders in Oviedo. Borders hosted us and made us all feel welcomed. Our group grew as many joined and even picked up knitting because of our presence there. So it’s no surprise that I have a special place in my heart for Borders in appreciation for their kindness. And yes, it was genuine kindness. It was not unusual for the manager to come up to us and give us pastries from their coffee shop or bring books and magazines to our table for us to browse through the latest knitting books and patterns. Every Thursday we would walk in to find a large table especially prepared for us with a sign on it “reserved for group”. This kind of hospitality is unheard of in this day and age.

Sad – Borders, hosting Knitting group closing
So here’s my “Goodbye” to Borders. We will truly miss you!
Boo hoo….
I am so sad that the group is no longer at Borders as well. I loved meeting you all there!
