Online Friends

Last week I traveled through the community where I knew there lived
an online friend, Clarice of Storybook Woods.
We met at Sugar and Spice Tearoom for a sip of tea and a delightful chat.
You can visit her blog here, http://storybookwoods.typepad.com
Clarice is the food editor for a new magazine called Gatherings.

It is a gorgeous magazine.
The photography is delightful and even the paper quality is to swoon over.
Fall 2013 was the first paper edition.
I wish them the best of success in this adventure.
The Founder/Editor In Chief is Heather Spriggs Thompson.
You can find the magazine here, http://gatheringsmag.com

Meeting online friends is always a JOY, but sipping and chatting
over tea is the very best.

You were intended not only to work,
but to rest, laugh, play, and have
proper leisure and enjoyment.
~Grenville Kleiser

Pair Vs. Pear

 

A perfect blend just the other morning as I sipped a cup
of a delightful Darjeeling and nibbled on a fresh pear.
What a perfect combination or pair you might say.
The tea was from Thunderbolt Tea, Sungma China Flower First Flush.
Opening the bag it smelled divine, then sipping my tea
with the Bartlett Pear just delightful.

Does a combination of a sip and something special ever just
say, Awwwwww!  Delicious!

Posting Friday's post a bit early, as early tomorrow I will be on a ferry to
Seattle for the NW Tea Festival at the Seattle Center.

Happy Weekend, dear friends!

Laugh and Smile

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A feeling of a frilly fair in the air,
with balloons and ruffles everywhere.
The adventure was to a flea market not far away.
Shared with a sister and smiles all around.
Now once again I am off for more adventure,
where there will be sips of tea and delightful time with friends.
Have a good day, dear friends, and I hope you are enjoying the day.
 

Here a Pumpkin, There a Pumpkin

Everywhere a Pumpkin too!
How many Pumpkins do you see? 
Just for fun, as I head out on another adventure.
Happy Autumn Day!

Rain and Delight

I have shared this beautiful place before, but not
for an outdoor wedding.

The day had many clouds in the sky,
but there were smiles all around.

The McKenzie River, Oregon

Thankful for a tent.

The rock in the distance is Eagle Rock.
Just beautiful!

 

Pictures were taken, yet no rain.

The grandmother of the groom I delighted in visiting with.
She had known my mother and my family, so it was wonderful to visit with her.
Yes, this was a family wedding and one I so enjoyed.

The flowers were just lovely.

The table decorations fit the bride and groom perfectly as they both love to hunt.

And the rain did come in a downpour, but still there were smiles all around.

This brought a smile to many.

 

The day ended with cake and happiness.

What lies behind us and
what lies before us are tiny
matters compared to what lies within us.
