I think a cup of tea, with a bit of sugar and some cream accompanied by a pastry or cupcake are the perfect combination. From my earliest remembrances I can see my gramma brewing pots of tea, usually to be iced on the back porch while I played in the yard, but the smell of freshly brewed tea is warm and makes my mouth salivate to smell......like fresh bread, freshly brewed tea is aroma and mouth feel perfectly matched I think today I need to make bread, cake, cupcakes and scones....Happy Birthday to me, I am old!

An ideal day begins with tea.....iced, black, strong and a little sweet. Reality:diapers,bottles, barking, laundry, dishes and more laundry. If I can get enough brain cells firing I hope to string enough words together to form sentences!
