Read Books, Drink Tea, Be Happy

Happy Tuesday!!! Hope you're all doing well!! It's been rainy and foggy here with chances of 5-6 inches of snow tonight! Yikes! I hope we don't get snowed in???  But I suppose, as long as I have a Good Book and Tea (and Electricity, to boil water for tea of course!) - I'll be okay!

    Stay warm. We had such a bad snowstorm the other day - completely immersed our world in snow white - about 5 inches - and today it is all gone with weird high temps of 50 degrees - so warm I opened the windows for some fresh air and ran errands in flip flops.

    This too shall pass!

    (You have the right idea for sure!)

    A good book and tea with electricity, yes that is a very good thing.
    Hope if you got snowed in you are enjoying the beauty of it all.

Once Upon a Tea Cup - Dreams Really Do Come True

Well, friends, today is the day…my mom and I will be flying out of Des Moines Airport to Chicago, and then on an overnight flight to London!! We will be in their fair country for 6 days; then heading on to Germany for 2 weeks. We are so excited! We hope to share pictures with you along the way…so stay posted.  This little dream started about 8 years ago, over a cup of tea. My mom and I discovered how much we enjoyed the ritual of a cup of afternoon tea…I was 14 at the time. One day, my mother came up with the brilliant idea that we would travel to England when I graduated in 4 years and have tea with the Queen! (smiles). We shared our grandiose idea with dear ole’ dad and he said, “That’s nice, how do you plan on funding your trip?” Well, naturally, we thought he would, so since he wasn’t offering, we put our heads together and came up with our tea business to help fund our way.  Finally, we are fulfilling this dream! Thank you to all of our tea friends...
