I can, and have, been accused of a wide variety of faults.
But, I have great taste in friends.
Today a package arrived from one of my friends, Lime.
Two books I've been wanting and some tea, from China.
I couldn't want to try some,
so I pulled out my little Chinese tea pot.
But there were two different teas,
and I wanted to try them side by side.
So...
at the risk of being somewhat irreverent in matters of tea and culture,
I brought out my little Japanese teapot too.
To tell you the truth. I actually prefer the Japanese pot. It has a filter.
But shhhh, we won't discuss that while Chinese tea is being served.
So I read ridiculously funny books to my kids while we drank some lovely tea,
all courtesy of one of the bestest friends a gal could have!
Thanks, babe!
I won't be the first one to drop a "tea party" reference here. Uh, drat! Sorry Logo, I'm trying to improve. You've got a good friend in Lime.
ReplyDeleteCool! Now I just wanna go make myself some Drunken Eight and put it in a little cute teapot too!
ReplyDeleteyou made me think of that song...
ReplyDelete"...here is my handle, here is my spout..."
Wow, I love gifts. You're so lucky. It's a good thing you treat people so well.
ReplyDeleteGrunty~ That's it, your invite is being revoked (mutter mutter) and yes, my Limey is a very good friend.
ReplyDeleteGoldennib~ It totally is!
Susie~ You should, and cheers!
Blither~ Thanks, I have to work hard to convince people I don't collect teapot, I worry I will start getting ugly ones.
Guggs~ You can only sing that if you do the motions!
Egan~ I love gifts too! And yes, I am very lucky.

ReplyDeleteWow... you just described a perfect day.
ReplyDeleteBreazy~ A very good day indeed
ReplyDeleteFunky~ Nice to see your face! It really was, and we even went on a walk as a family and the Things managed to not get hit, it was AWESOME!
Very lovely indeed. Are you and Lime just buddies through blogger, or did you meet before.
ReplyDeleteRegardless, it is lovely to have friends that treat you so well. I hope eahc one of us has at leats ine of those :)
Tea for two, and two for tea...
ReplyDeleteLovely gesture between lovely ladies.
how sweet. And I love the little tea pots!
ReplyDeletewhat a lovely gesture... and i suspect she sent you the gifts because she feels the same way about you as you do of her (in my head this makes sense...and is nice. i mean it to be nice!)
ReplyDeletei love tea... and i love your sweet little teapots (short *and* stout...) and it sounds like you had a delightful time with the books and the tea and the kids and the thoughts of how nice it all was to have a friend like Lime! (like the way i jumped over the hump, sprinted past Thursday... and landed here on Friday morning, est?) xox
Minka~ We met in a trivia chatroom a couple years ago, and yes, you are right, everyone needs a friend like Lime!
ReplyDeleteSar~ mwah, nice singing, thanks
Kat~ Thanks!
Neva~ Its true I think, Lime does seem reasonably fond of me as well.
We had a great time, and now that you mention the date, maybe I should get around to posting something new.
How lovely!! What are the books? (I can't see the titles very well)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a lovely day. :)
Candace~ That is
