Pronounced Snobs. SKNOBS is a little coffee shop in Knob Noster, Missouri. Dear Daughter,, who is also my most frequent photo contributor has found a little gem once again. While in the company of some local teachers taking a ‘coffee break’, she took a minute to think of us, the Doors Crowd. So want to say Thanks to her for the Thursday Doors donations. Hope you enjoy.
Knob Noster has a little personal history for our family. It’s where Ron spent time as a police officer. Probably where he first dismantled meth labs that have brought us to where we are in his cancer journey. Back then, there were no protocol in place for protective gear. Thankful that, more recently, law enforcement are educated in the dangers of chemicals used to make meth. Just thought I’d open a bit of that ‘Door’ for you dear readers. I have lots more to say on the matter, but another day.
Question: How do you tell the difference between a banjo solo and a root canal?
Answer: Good question.

These are great doors. I would always choose a coffee shop like this to a chain. You’re probably right about the damage caused from working in those conditions. It’s very sad that it takes years and years and many people getting sick for common sense rules and protocols to be put in place.
Love the banjo humor 🙂

I love unique local coffee shops like this! So much more fun to patronize than the chains. I’m so sorry about your husband’s illness caused by dismantling meth labs. Where I live, a library and a bus station had to be closed for many months while the same thing was done. I appreciate the people who go in and make these spaces livable once again!

Thank you! Thankfully much has been learned about officer safety and they have hazmat suits, etc.
I like seeing buildings with good bones saved. Just makes sense.

I love good coffee and truly appreciate small shops that put forth an effort to provide a real coffee experience to those who enter. I am so sorry that your husband’s service to his community contributed to his cancer journey. I always applaud those who run towards a crisis while the rest of us run away, but applause doesn’t work in this situation. I’m glad they have come up with protective processes today, and sincerely hope they support his medical journey.

Thank you so much! We learned last week that Ron will be the topic of a very informative report/dissertation of sorts. His case has had so many twists and turns and they have truly learned so much from his experience. He’s always saying ‘take the photos, send in the students and help someone else with all of this’. He truly is my hero!

I love the name of the shop and the town, but your personal history there makes it far less lovable. A bone marrow transplant is so very serious. And then I read your banjo joke. For some reason, it almost always takes me by surprise. I laughed, yes, but not trivializing what you are going through. Bless your daughter for finding these great distractions!

Thank you for your thoughts. For one thing, law enforcement has a sense of humor like no other just because of what they see and deal with. It rubbed off on me I’m afraid. (chuckle) Also, I think we have had to learn to laugh at the unusual stuff more lately. And you know, laughter heals. We have the Lord keeping us on the right track and also keeping our heads above water. He hasn’t let us down.

I’m no theologian, but I’m pretty sure the Lord has a sense of humor. There are lots of jobs that require a sense of humor just to get through, and I can see that law enforcement would be one of those. (Not too unlike the Lord’s!)
