A day for a brew

For the first time in my life, I went to a tea party.

For the rest of my life, I will be attending parties.

A few weeks ago, the subject of tea parties came up.  My one friend, suddenly inspired, decided that she would plan one and invite us all to her house for a delightful afternoon.

We left around 1:00 PM today:  the sky was a glorious blue, the sun brought a warm glow to the earth, and six heads were comfortably arranged in a cruising Impala.  November drives aren't always pleasant, but this one will go into my annals as one of my favorite drives.

After arriving and being ushered into a very charming house, we found ourselves at a fancy display of linens and china.  In the kitchen, an absolute feast was prepared, of which I had to take at least one of every absolutely delicious looking treat.  In one of the tea pots, a fabulous black tea was brewed--I refilled my tea cup many, many times, to the dismay of my friends.  So maybe I have a tea addiction...so what?  ;)

After filling the rest of the afternoon with music, we reluctantly left to return to our campus bubble.  Thankfully, the pleasantness has not left my thoughts.  Even as I have "attempted" to work on an Accounting research paper (on intangible assets--I know you're fascinated), I am still drawn to the sun-lit dining room filled with the smiling faces of my dear friends.

I probably should get to the paper, though........ugh!
