Can you stay for awhile and visit with me as if we've known each other all our lives?Have you ever met someone like that...that seems like you've known them forever? Especially like the ones that are so easy to talk to and you know that they will listen and not be quick to judge.
The sweetness of this kind of friendship is a God send.
This week the rains fell and the temperature turned off cooler than I like, but not too cool to where a hot beverage didn't help warm us up.
This contemporary cup and saucer is more for coffee than tea, unless you're at A Greasy Spoon Cafe and then you'd be glad to have this style for a warm cup of tea no matter what. Even though it's porcelain, it's a heavier cup than the delicate dishes that I believe official Tea Drinkers would be comfortable using for the much loved Tea ritual.
But in a pinch this cup would do. It's clean and close at hand.
This white glazed cup and saucer are marked on the bottoms:
Home Trends
Elegant Porcelain
Dishwasher and Microwave Safe
MADE IN CHINA
They were quite a find at the After Christmas Sale marked down prices...$12.oo for a complete table setting of four. They're white, easy on the eye and pocketbook. With the dishes being a neutral white, they go with any color theme and are a pleasant enough shape that they're a fun addition to our Haven!
If you were in my neck of the woods today, we'd take time to chat and sip either coffee or tea. The choice would be yours! I'd love to hear how your week has gone and what you've got planned for the week-end. It may be boring to keep hearing me say...I need to get the house tidied, but it's true. I need to get get the house tidied. How 'bout you?
Make the choice to have a blessed day and while you're at it,
don't forget the cream and sugar.
God Bless you,
~Deanna~

Deanna, go back to my blog and look at the top photo. That is what I want you to guess about. You have to be the right age to know.

Marmie,
mmmmm coffee at the out own little cafe on the front porch sounds nice. I wish we had a bit more sunshine though! But rain is nice too! I like this cup. Only as a avid coffee drinker it would need to be bigger because I drink about six "traditional" cups of coffee in one mug!
hehehehehehehe
Love you!!
Okay, I'd like my coffee with a bunch of half & half. That's it. Simple but perfect. Then I'd ask you to pass me the tissue because I have the sniffles. I would probably tell you about the items I'm gathering about the home to donate to the church garage sale. Letting go can be hard, but necessary. : )
Simple yet still elegant. I think a cup of carmel Mystic Monk coffee would taste wonderful in this little cup.
Thanks for another Tea/Coffee on Thursday:)
God Bless!
Deanna, Ok, I am imagining that I am sitting on your cute porch with a cup of coffee with milk, no sugar.
I'm guessing we would be chatting about how nice it is to have coffee with a friend, and how very much I love your old house and all of your collectibles.
Then maybe we would swap stories about what kinds of things we like to find on our "junkin trips".
Or maybe how pretty the Flinthills were as we drove up from the Wichita area.
Eventually we would be chatting about our love for the Lord and about all the miracles he has done in our lives. Maybe mentioning Lynnette's book and how Faithful God has been to her through her trials.
Then I would be dying to go inside and take a look around to see what charm your old home contains.
After the tour I am sure my hubby would be prompting me to wind things up so we could head to our next antique store to find more treasures!
It was fun while it lasted! And you were a gracious hostess. Thanks for inviting me.
Love, Linda
I love your Tea on Thursday posts! I would love to sit and chat over a cup of tea:) Thursdays are my cleaning day so that I can get that out of the way which allows me to relax and enjoy the weekend. Of course, tea is usually part of the relaxation portion of my day:)
Blessings,
Kim
Deanna,
I would get up early and make a fresh pot of coffee, and pour us both a cup. Cream for you, Cream and Sugar for me.
Then I would walk out and sit down at the little bistro set I bought you for your birthday some years ago (the one in front of the old stained glass window in your sidebar).
I would sit and admire the flowers and their wonderful fragrance and watch the neighbors kittens play in the bushes between our old stone houses and think it is cool this morning....and cradle the warm cup in my hands, knowing that yours is cooling to just the right temperature as I wait for you to come out.
Then we would sit together and spend the morning talking....about our treasured memories together..about our love for each other...our children..then I would slip back in to the kitchen and pour another cup of coffee and we would ponder the future...and dream of the things we have not yet accomplished...and the loved ones that have passed that we thought we would share old age with...and how quickly we are growing old togther...and as evening comes and the porch is enveloped in shadows and the lighting bugs began to flicker... we would talk about the deep things that the Lord has revealed to us to strengthen us in our love for and trust in him......
Then that hushed stillness would fall over us as we experience where two or more are gathered he is there in the midst of them......
and I would reach out and take your hand and hold it in mine as we watch the last light of the day slip away....and I would whisper I love you my beloved.
Thank you Deanna for our wonderful life together and our home that truly is our haven.

Dear Ones, Tea on Thursday is fast approaching as a favorite way to share on my blog.
A huge thank you for sharing your thoughts and ideas with me. I love it! I feel like I'm getting to know you all alot better and enjoying our friendships.
Beauty- a huge mug of coffee at the 4th Street Coffee Shoppe is on order and coming right up...
Won't that be relaxing?
Torie- I laughed out loud. We drink our coffee the very same way. And I love half and half without sugar in my coffee. You've got good taste!
Karinann- A while back, my husband and I tried some Carmel Mystic Monk Coffee while we were out and about having fun. It was great and I want to buy some in the near future. I'll say a prayer for you when I drink it as I will be thinking about you.
Linda- Loved the comment. Loved it. What a fun day we'd have on the front porch. You're sweet!
A wonderful Sister-in-Christ. You're a member of the SWANS.
Kim- Cleaning house on Thursday is a great day to clean. I hope to get back to a more workable plan on cleaning. I use to be like clockwork, but need a new clock these days. Chatting over Tea would be great. For now I get to enjoy your lovely blog. Looking forward to the June 6th Tea Blog Party. Will be putting button on my blog to tell others.
Artist- You know me very well.
Lovely comment from my special somebody.
To spend the day together quietly sharing is so relaxing and much needed.
Let's work a day in like this one you've shared about and just spend time together in each others presence.
A day to remember.
It would nurture our covenant marriage and our souls.
Amen. Name the day! I'm ready.
