Today I spent a few hours with a dear friend, her two daughters, & her mom & mother in law, celebrating her upcoming birthday at the "local" tea room, The Pineapple Tea Room.
It's a tiny, comfy, shop filled with various & sundry items associated with tea. Towards the back a few intimate tables are set up to welcome tea partakers. We visited and chit-chatted for a time, then Lisa opened her gifts, as we waited for our own special orders of tea; apple mango, orange, light melon, strawberry, Earl Grey, pineapple, etc. After our tea arrived, delicate cucumber sandwiches, scones, and pastries soon followed, served on pretty white three-tiered platters:) Everything was delicious:)
I felt honored to share such a special time with three generations of Lisa's family:) She lives 24/7 with a chronic disease. Eating out with family and friends is one of her splurges/joys in life. This afternoon was a brief respite to savor a happy time together & to celebrate having Lisa in our lives:)
A sweet time, a sweet memory, a sweet birthday tea:)
