Don't worry at all! Everything is online nowadays! I'm just so excited about the rest. DH is still laughing at me. I'm like a kid in a candy store! DH liked it too.

She's still upset that she didn't get backboarded. But smiled at the compliment.
Oh, and we thought of you with the bunny. That's why we got that picture!

I'm still trying to catch Ned or Homer so I can get a picture! DH cleaned up all the twigs and brush in the garden, so I think they moved. :(
 
Speaking of tea.....


I'm sipping on a cup of Constant Comment Green Tea right now, and eating a piece of leftover Graduation Cake. (Really good cake! From Costco. White cake, with strawberry mousse filling, and buttercream icing.)
 
Oh Becky, I just drooled on my computer.

I just made some iced tea, and am now contemplating making my famous oatmeal cookies. :) However we have tornado weather coming soon, so I'm not sure if I want to use the oven.

Costco Bakery makes the best cakes - and for a fraction of the cost of any other place!

We had cake from there - cut in 48 pieces - for $15.99! And that's with the special mousse filling, and decorated the way you want it!

Not ChefAnn... AJPratt. She's the one that owns Pratt's Hill of Beans - the coffee shop. She has a tea room in it and I thought her thoughts would be interesting. I know the difference between my Ann(e)s, thank you very much!

Well I don't! :) Darnit Jim, I'm a doctor not a mind reader.... (old line from Star Trek) lol


I bet Anne would have some really awesome thoughts! I'll PM her...
 
mmm... now I want a Costco cake. DH and I have been known to buy one and freeze most of it - then eat from it for a month. Can't beat the price! The carrot cake is really good there, too.
 
English Breakfast Tea with, well, breakfast this morning. Old fashioned oatmeal and cantaloupe. Yum!

Sweet tea with blueberry pancakes.

Hey, I never said it was gonna taste good- but it's the only tea I have. :)
 
If you love tea and looking at something very beautiful try Teaposy Tea. My best friend shared this tea with me on a weekend trip to her house. The light refreshing tea comes from brewing a beautiful tea bud the blooms in a clear teapot right before your eyes. She said that it was avaiable at bed, bath and beyond.
