Tea Bar

 Gaba Oolong was in the gaiwan.

An apple hand pie was on the plate.

Reconnecting with a friend was oh so special.

About two months ago a new Tea Bar opened within walking distance of my home.
I knew they were coming.
I had watch through the window their progress.
I was so very excited.
Finally the day came when I could walk there and have tea.
Close to the entry were some magazines and I picked one up to enjoy.

It was Kinfolk Magazine.
Have you read it?
Well you say why did she suddenly change from telling about the Tea Bar
to reading Kinfolk Magazine?

The second time I visited the Tea Bar I met a dear friend.
One I hadn't seen for a long time.
A friend I very much enjoyed catching up with.
I had the same Gaba Oolong and apple hand pie I had the first time.
Both were oh so good.
When I was leaving I snapped the above pictures.
After looking at them on my computer I had the feeling I had stepped
into the Kinfolk Magazine.
The Tea Bar has the same simple, clean lines.
A place where you add your own story
over a good cup of tea.

If you are in Portland, Oregon or come for a visit
I can recommend a stop at the Tea Bar on N.E. Killingsworth Blvd.
I would gladly meet you there.
