~ An Earlier Snow ~
Here I sit wearing my pink housecoat and sipping coffee while thinking about not being able to travel to Kansas City this morning to attend Lana's funeral. It did snow throughout the night. We woke to the roads being snow packed and closed. Our first snow of the year! Warm thoughts to all.
My husband had taken the day off so we could attend our friend's funeral. We can't get there. So I had to e-mail instead. Nice feature about our culture. Still it's a weak substitution when you long to actually be present.
I have been reminiscing about my friendship with Lana which lead to thinking about when my husband and I were children. Chances are we passed by one another as kids and attended the same events. Here we are married and sharing. I honestly can say, my husband is my best earthly friend. Two peas in a pod.
Let's have some more coffee or hot tea if you like.
God bless you and may you be surrounded by good friends, loving family and a happy home.

Sorry about the loss of your friend Deanna. And I am sorry that you could not attend the service because of the weather. But it is out of your control my friend.
We lost a friend from liver cancer recently. he was a member of our church and his service is tomorrow morning. We are close to the church...but even so, I hope it isn't too bad of weather so that we can go.
Isn't it nice to sip on our hot tea or coffee as we sit in our cozy homes and look out on the beauty of the snow? Looking at your pretty cup, I think I will go get some for myself and join you!
Glad your dear husband is home to enjoy this day with you. Mine is always here with me, and I am so thankful. I just made him some nice hot enchiladas to enjoy on this cold winter day.
Love, Linda
Thank you, Linda. I am sorry about your friend about this loss of a friend. There seems to be so much cancer. Tis terrible.
It is wonderful to be at home, warm and cozy.
Hot enchiladas!!! Sounds awesome,

Sorry to hear it wasn't possible for you to attend Lana's funeral because of the snow. I'm sure she knows you wanted to be there and that you were thinking of her, and the same applies to her family.
Enjoy your hot drink and your memories.
Thank you for your kind words about my aunt. Tomorrow I hope to attend her memorial, if I can get the car onto the road. Sometimes the snowplow just fills up my driveway. Got the car cleaned off this afternoon, the ice under the snow was horrible. Thankfully we had a snow day so I could get myself out. Take care. ♥♫
I'm so sorry, D, you can't go to your friend's funeral! I know your heart is breaking. You have to keep safe!
You'll be in my prayers.
Blessings,
Shelia ;)

Dear Deanna,
I am so sorry that you couldn't attend the funeral of your beloved friend Lana. But I think, you have been there in your thoughts and she has felt that. And only that counts. To be in the mind and the thoughts of our friends is, what helds the memory alive. So a part of Lana will stay alive in you. We all have to go once and nobody knows, if not an early death will save us before cruel fate. God knows all the reasons. I wish you good thoughts and all the memories of the good days.
Greetings, Johanna
Good Morning Deanna, My deepest sympathy in the loss of your friend. May God comfort you and her family during this difficult time.
This is my first time to join in Tea Time Tuesday. Your photo is just beautiful with the reflection in the tea!
It would have been nice to see Lana's and her husbands family, but it was best to be in where it was warm and safe. Hearing all of the sirens out on the highway yesterday afternoon was a good reminder that traveling really wasn't an option.
Besides, it was nice to have the day to sit and drink coffee and chat with my very best friend too. I love you Deanna.
Enchilada's sounded great. Especially on a cold snowy day.
Maybe we can make some of Shell's Taco soup for supper tonight? Yummy.

I am so, so sorry to hear about the loss of your treasured friend. This is indeed the bittersweet sorrow of loving. But how thankful I am for all your precious memories of her.
Love your bucket list. I have a few of the same wishes.
Hi Deanna,
So sorry about your friend, Lana! I lost a best friend several years ago with breast cancer and I still miss her every day.
The weather is out of your control and you know she would understand.
It's lovely to sit and sip a hot cup of tea or coffee when the weather isn't cooperating. Actually, it's nice to sip on something hot no matter what the weather is like!
So happy you've joined me for tea today! We too are blanketed with lots of white stuff. It's nice to sip on some tea and dream about Springtime!
Wishing you a lovely day. Take care.
Blessings,
Sandi
Good friends are such a blessing and it sounds like you and Lana had a wonderful friendship. I'm sorry for your loss. I'm sure she's honored by the lovely tribute you wrote about her. I'm a new follower of your blog and I look forward to reading more about your faith and life. Thanks for visiting Cottage and Creek and God bless you!

Dear Deanna~
What a HAPPY feeling the Vivaldi piece gives to your blog today. I remember dancing to a full length ballet "The Four Seasons" in my youth ~ Ah.... youth! Thank you for that lovely piece of music.
I am sorry to hear about your dear friend Lana. Maybe she is dancing with Vivaldi himself today. Your post about her is very touching. She must have been a wonderful friend. xoxo Amy

You brighten my life!
So glad to hear from each one of you.
