THE TEA SHOP ; FRIENDSHIP ; AND A JAR OF APPLE BUTTER...

The Tea Room.................

ON THIS COOL RAINY DAY....I WAS INVITED TO
GO WITH MY SWEET FRIENDS TO LUNCH AT THE
"TEA SHOP" IN TOWN....WHEN WE FINISHED OUR
LUNCH THEY GAVE ME THIS JAR OF "HOMEMADE"
APPLE-BUTTER".....LATER WHEN I RETURNED HOME
I TOOK OUT THE JAR AND TURNED IT AROUND....
I LOOKED AT THE CUTE REMAINS OF SCRUFFLED
PAPER LEFT ON THE RE-USED JAR AND I HAD TO
SMILE AT WHAT GOD WAS SHOWING ME .....HE REMINDED
ME OF HOW "GOOD FRIENDSHIPS" ARE SO SWEET (AS
THE TREAT INSIDE) AND YET WE ARE TO LOVE AND
ACCEPT EACH OTHER WITH ALL OUR SCRUFFLES INCLUDED.
TRUE FRIENDSHIP...LOVES ; ACCEPTS; DOESNT ENVY
I AM SO GLAD GOD HAS GIVEN SUCH TO ME.............
WE JUST HAD FUN LAUGHING AND ENJOYING EACH
OTHERS FRIENDSHIP............
MY FRIENDS DAUGHTER HELPED ME TAKE
SEVERAL PICTURES...SHE DOES REALLY WELL
THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS....PUMPKIN SOUP SERVED
WITH WHIPPED CREAM ATOP; SMALL FINGER
SANDWICHES FILLED WITH EGG SALAD; HAM
SALAD; OR CHICKEN SALAD.................
I LOVE THE SOFT WARM GLOW OF THE SHOP ON
THIS COOL RAINY FALL DAY...............
I HAD THE SALAD TRIO WITH 2 KINDS OF CHICKEN
SALAD; A FRUIT AND DILL AND REAL REAL MAYO;
AND A PASTA SALAD............

THE DESERT CART LOOKED SO PROMISING BUT
ALAS WE DECIDED WE HAD HAD ENOUGH............
ONCE AGAIN MORE ROOMS WITH "TWINKLE"
LIGHTS.............DID I MENTION I LOVE TWINKLE
LIGHTS!!!! THEY ARE SO JOYFUL!!!
WHAT A SWEET MOM MY FRIEND IS....HER DAUGHTER
WAS SO CARING FOR MY NEEDS.................
A LOOK OUT THE WINDOW AT THE OLD COURTHOUSE
IN RED.................
