Won't you join me as I say aweeeeeeeee?
We can say it together, in harmony AWEEEEEEEEE...
It's not the tea,
remember; it's the spirit of the tea party. And the spirit of the tea party is, above all, the spirit of true friendship.
This saying is tied to the handle of the tea cup.
The pictures posted here are of a 1961 Kaysons International, Ltd.
FINE CHINA JAPAN GOLDEN RHAPSODY tea cup filled with fake apoxy tea, sitting on a saucer holding a plastic sugar cookie beside a plastic gold spoon with apoxy honey on it. The tea bag says it's Lipton Soothing Moments HERBAL TEA PEPPERMINT. I purchased this ornamental piece way back in 1988 or something. So the teabag is at least 20 years old. By this time it should really be mellowed out, huh.
My Wednesday morning started out with a Thunderstorm waking the Grandbaby. Her Momma and her Grandpa had left earlier for work. After the THUNDER got louder, we started our day earlier than normal. I had hopes of doing some out of town shopping and had to wait til the storm past. While waiting, I wrote out my list of groceries and where I wanted to go. This all changed once I got behind the wheel of the car. The day was long, but it was a great day and I had fun shopping.
If you're really tired...stop here and take a breather. Then have a blessed day. God BlESS you and I'll talk to you soon. If you have the stamina to continue, read on. Perhaps your feet won't hurt when finished with the rest.
My Wednesday went something like this:
After packing a child's To Go Bag with Wet Wipes, Pull-Ups, change of clothing, baggy of Animal Crackers, apple, and white grape juice in sippy cup with lid, my Granddaughter and I headed out the door.
Drove to Library returning movies we watched while company was here.
Continued to drive to town where my husband works.
Grand fell asleep in car.
Picked up hubby for Lunch.
Grand wakes up.
Had Chinese for Lunch at the new Hy-Vee Grocery Store. My fortune cookie said I would have an offer that would be hard to refuse! My husband's said he would be wealthy. Perhaps his wealth will be hard to refuse...grins.
Took quick tour of store.
Drove to Dillons to get Dog Food.
Returned hubby to work.
Took a peek at hubby's different work area.
Shared different furniture arrangement for work area with him. I just can't help myself. I seem to do this everywhere I go.
Went to Salvation Army and shopped.
Went to JoAnn's and shopped.
Went to Sonic for iced drink.
Went to a Thrift Store and shopped.
Went to another Thrift Shop and shopped.
Went to Hobby Lobby and just looked. Will have to go back before August 29th when I have more time and take advantage of their 50% OFF Sales.
Met Daughter after work and ended day of babysitting while meeting up with hubby.
Drove home and picked up some items that were needed.
Got in the car again to do more shopping and drove to another town.
Went to Sam's Club.
Grabbed a bite to eat.
Did some grocery shopping.
Went to Lumber Yard to buy more roofing supplies.
Went to Walmart and shopped.
Drove home.
Thunderstorm started.
Unloaded groceries.
Took shoes off.
Checked Weather Radar on computer.
Am blogging.
The shoes I wore started out very comfortable, but after wearing them for 12 hours and being on my feet the majority of the this time, by 10 o'clock at night, my feet were ready to be barefooted with the rest of me sitting in a comfortable chair, drinking my milk and blogging. Some say when their feet are hurting, "My dogs are barking." Well, my dogs are howling and NOW, I'm just DOG TIRED.
I just want to sit and sip Tea on Thursday.
Won't 'cha join me?
God richly Bless you,
~Deanna~

When I read this I feel as if I AM having tea with you as you recount your day to me, in between sips of tea and bites of cookies of course. ( How about cinnamon rolls next time? I'll bring them.)
Grand children are fun aren't they? But you know, I feel my age just a teensy bit when I spend the day with them, but would not trade these days for all the tea and comfortable shoes in the world.
I know what you're feeling with the feet. I was complaining just last night about my feet hurting, I had not noticed until recently that my feet seem to hurt a lot lately...but i am not getting old, just crickety. Thanks for tea , I had a lovely time.
It was a good day! Enjoyed lunch with you and Grand-Toddler. Driving home together and going on to more shopping. My dogs were barking when we got home too. Not my feet, but my dogs. :) All four of them. They did not like the torrential downpour and were ready to go to their night-time sleeping place.
I have always liked this tea-cup with the fake tea, tea bag and cookie. Right now I think I could stand a TAZO Relaxation Mint Tea. May have to wander over to the Starbucks in the Library and see if they have some.
I enjoy your thrift shopping excursions, you always come home with such neat stuff.
Thanks for working roofing supplies into our evening trip. Will help make headway this weekend.

Deanna,
After just reading about your Wednesday I am tired! Tea sounds and looks wonderful. I like the "spirit of the tea" quote.
Thanks for having us over!
God Bless!
Dear Marmie,
I can join you with how dog tired I feel right at this moment. I'm trying to drink less caffine. So my half calf coffee at lunch didn't really do anything (tasted great) I think I'll stop by for you 20 year old tea ;O)
Thunderstorms make me tired. I didn't even hear it thunder last night. Butterfly did though. Now I'm tired!
How about leftover frozen pasta for dinner?
Love you!
Wow-what a day you had! I can sympathize with you as I spent the day at work running between schools and trying to help a very unhappy child. So I happily accept your offer to rest my feet and enjoy a cup of tea!
Blessings,
Kim
Hi Deanna,
Sorry that you are feeling tired and your feet are sore.
I hope that your Thursday can be more relaxed and you can enjoy your tea and maybe put your feet up and read a book.
Hugs
Carolyn
