Sending Valentine's, Looking for Monsters

Right before Valentine's I stepped into the post office.

There before me were about 20 pre-school children waiting to mail their Valentine's.

It was a delight to see each one step up on the steps and order one stamp.

One by one they went to the counter.

The postal worker would ask them what they wanted

and they would say "a stamp".

One little boy when asked what he wanted,

stated "a monster".

It just made my day.

A smile was on my face and in my heart all day long.

He knew exactly what he wanted and it wasn't a stamp.

What do you want today?

Photo taken of part of the group, just not that particular monster loving boy.

Smile

Tea Party time!

Have you had a digital tea party?

Sometimes it is just those little things in life that bring JOY.

Thought you would enjoy a smile today.

You provide the tea.

Enjoy!

Just for a Smile

If you haven't had a smile today.

I love Rose is Rose

and thought this one was perfect for a tea lady.

May we always have enough teacups to

share with each and every friend and guest.

One Word

Apple?

Chuckle of the Day

Silly, I know; but can't resist the comics when it has to do with tea.
Have a good day, whether you have one lump, two lumps, or none.
Smiling!

Invitation to Tea

Anyone want to join me for tea?
We could play Zombie Snow Warriors,
if only I had snow.
In the meantime, if the sun comes out
we can dance barefoot in the grass
with my newly made tutu.

Enjoy your day with a smile on your face~

God's Sense of Humor

In the window of my living room I have two orchid's blooming.
This is the first bloom on this rescued orchid.
It's a rescued orchid because it looked dead when a former boss just left it to die.
I brought it home and my husband brought it back to life.
I had to laugh when the first bloom opened this week and it said #1.
There are two more blooms open now, but neither one has the #1.
Can you see it?
I do BELIEVE God has a sense of humor.

Anticipation

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,

In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.

Have you ever seen a plain brown St. Nicholas?

He is an antique and was used to mold paper St. Nicholas's.

Is this St. Nicholas?

or

Is this my new favorite toy?

Will he leave me something under the tree?

or

Do I find my own ornaments hanging from the lower branches?

What fun this Christmas season is.

Anticipation~

Singing

And singing JOY to the World

and

A Merry Christmas to one and all!

New reading place?

Well I thought I had a new place to read.
Smiling!
I guess I will be sharing with the "king" kitty.

A Joey Visit

See how big I am now

Joey's favorite television show is Art Wolfe, Travels from the Edge on PBS

Joey couldn't wait for Halloween for you to see him in his wizard costume.
I hope today you have the chance to cuddle a fur baby.

Don't forget to leave a comment or email me to be entered into Monday's drawing.

Alone Time

Do you have times when you just need to be alone?
I hope you have someone that sends provisions.

Tea of the Day

Warmer weather is on it's way.
I just know it is.
We are beginning to enjoy ice tea of the day.
Do you enjoy a tea of the day too?
Now if you don't know what this is, let me explain.
In the morning we make a pot of hot tea.
If there is anything left in the pot it goes into a container in the refrigerator.
After a few days there could be quite a variety of teas in the container.
This becomes our "tea of the day" for ice tea.
So far we haven't gone wrong and we continue to enjoy our tea of the day over ice.

Sunny Days

I am so ready!  Sunglasses, check!

Now where is the sun?

In the meantime, my glasses are on my head and I am waiting for the sunshine.
Are you enjoying the sun?  Tell me where you are and
maybe I should come there.  I could follow the sun today.

Winter Tea

Now this is my fantasy winter day, curled up by the fire
with a lovely cup of tea and the cat.
The only thing missing is a good book and a cat.
What would be in your cup?
What book would you be reading?

This morning for me it will be a cup of Yunnan Gold.
I am still trying to finish fictions written with the Christmas
season wrapped in a pretty bow, but soon I will be on
to other fascinating books. And soon there will be the cat too.

Happy winter days~

Snow Girl Tea Party

Isn't a Snow Girl Tea Party a lot of work?

I hope you don't have to build your own guests

when having a tea party.

Have a great weekend full of warm cups of tea.

They will warm your heart as well as your hands.

Tea Chuckle

It is always fun to find a tea reference in the comics. Enjoy!

Chuckle of the Day

About a year or two ago I found this comic in our local newspaper. I loved the sentiment shared in the Rose is Rose comic and thought others might enjoy it too. It brings a chuckle to my heart whenever I read it. Some days are just like this.
