"Come, let us have some tea and continue to talk about happy things." Chaim Potok
This weekend I drove to Eugene, Oregon to have a "me" weekend with a friend. When I arrived she said "come, have tea".
It was a little cool, so she had the fire burning and the table was set out in her little tea tent in her yard.
We sipped a lovely black tea from Young Mountain Tea in her grandmother's china. The china, with violets, reminded me of my grandfather's china. So very special.
She had made three open face sandwiches: cucumber, chicken curry, and caprese with tomatoes from her garden.
Then we had a lime tart, little cakes and chocolates.
The view from my seat of her garden.
What a kind, thoughtful gift.
She knew exactly what I would enjoy, a refreshment after the 2 hour drive.
Sometimes it is just these little things, that make life so special and put a smile on your faces. I loved being the recipient of tea time, as most often I am the giver of tea times.
Hoping kindness comes your way this very week.
Sending love,
Marilyn
