Unexpected Gifts from Friends
Every once in awhile, a friend does something special that makes one smile. Yesterday’s mail provided one of those wonderful surprises. My great friend back in NY sent me some Russian Caravan tea and some Swedish shortbread cookies she picked up at a Scandinavian Festival she and her husband attended last weekend.

4th of July Tea & Cookies
It was a beautiful, summer morning for this year’s 4th of July. Some tea and cookies on the deck were in order. I cut some rose blooms off one of my shrub roses. Enough to just make a wee bouquet. It’s a shame all of the flowers on one stem don’t bloom all at once.…

Tea Time on the Dock
I enjoyed a stunning, Sunday morning with some tea down on our lower dock. Some wonderful Celtic Cottage tea, some very crumbly blueberry coffee cake I made last night and some s single peony bloom from the garden.

Tea from India
I saw on the Tozy Tea website where one of the owners gives the other owner this tea because it’s one of their favorites. Well, how can I pass up a tea that a tea owner loves, so I ordered a bag of the loose tea from them to try. Nilgiri Frost tea is from…

Yorkshire Tea Time
In 2013 my husband and I spent 3 days in the beautiful and historic city of York, England before heading north to Scotland. When planning our trip to Scotland, we wanted to get a brief taste of another part of England away from London, which we visited the previous year for a week. While doing…

Reward Tea
We held our eighth annual brain aneurysm awareness event yesterday. After months and months of work and planning, the event went off without a hitch. Well, except for two tent tragedies (it was a tad windy on the coast). A very long day and a lot of standing and running around always means I’m exhausted…
