This is what my week has consisted of: I thought I had successfully fought off the virus which kept taunting me last week but then it pulled a fast one and clobbered me Sunday night. I’ve spent the past few days blowing my nose, coughing, drinking tea and watching I Love Lucy. So far I…
Two Days in London
I still have so much to share from our Paris trip and I fully intend to finish this series within a couple of weeks of the start of 2015. For now, how about a quick post about our little excursion to London? David had the brilliant idea that we should take advantage of proximity and…
Just soak awhile…
When I was a little girl I could walk out my backdoor, quick-step barefoot across the hot desert sand and visit my grandparents who lived around the corner from us. A row of cypress trees separated our yards, a gap in the trees providing a shady spot to cool my feet before running the rest…

Tea With Dee…(that’s me!)
A few weeks ago, Tori of Torizworld, blogged about the annual Mad Tea Party at A Fanciful Twist. I took a look at some of the past parties and they were absolutely delightful. I would have loved to join in this year but we are headed to Oklahoma City in just a bit for the…
Tea and Crumpets
Okay, so I don’t actually have any crumpets. However, a nice cup (or four) of Darjeeling tea while watching Downton Abbey is a rather nice way to spend a Friday afternoon, don’t you agree?
