Busy Busy Busy! Especial-Tea Tomorrow!!!

Busy Sunday and Monday!





Sunday included a dinner with friends to celebrate Jason's Birthday. Alex and Heather, little Emma, and Drew joined Jason, the Mister and I for lunch at Angelino's. Pasta Mmmmm!




We had veal piccata, scallops, pasta with sweet Italian sausage and mushrooms, linguine Alfredo, and chicken Parmesan. Everything at Angelino's is delicious! Most servings are so large there is enough for dinner plus 2 take home meals!
Emma is trying to escape!



My favorite - Penne Angelino.
Emma enjoyed herself and we enjoyed time with Emma and family





Today I spent time preparing the tea table and special things to enjoy at our Especial-Tea tomorrow!

I was polishing silver, washing dishes, shopping, preparing and pressing. While I was busy, Lucy took a swim





And Layla napped half in and half out of her bed.

Tomorrow, Tuesday August 5th is the Especial-Tea. Everyone is invited. Just click on the Especial-Tea invitation. Check the comments for other participating guests and then click on their names to visit all of their blogs. It is an all day affair of surprises across time zones, so check throughout the day and evening for treats, tea tables, recipes, poems - anything and everything having to do with tea! See you there and enjoy!

Mystery Solved!

Daughter Jennifer informed me that the unidentified hairy thing pictured in yesterday's post(probably still sitting on the ledge outside my lawyer's office in Tampa) is a mat. (see yesterday's picture.) Jennifer's wealth of worldly knowledge far exceeds mine. For example, she is the one who introduced me to the phrase BFE! A useful description that I now employ when I have to park at the far end of a parking lot or go to some obscure location - like Fred Howard Park. It's much faster to just say I have to go to BFE. Here are two examples I have used recently: 1)Yes, young man, I do need assistance with my groceries. I was forced to park in BFE. 2) I do not know how to get to Fred Howard Park. That park is located in BFE which is near Tarpon Springs."

As for the mat, if anyone else in the world other than me has been enlightened by this hitherto unbeknowenst mystery object, it is apparently used to add savoir faire to a hairdo. AKA a do. It appears I have been giving people undeserved credit for having their own personal hair on their heads. I was very surprised to find out that some employ the assistance of giant false eyelashes to enhance their hairstyles. Case in point: Dolly Parton, Cher and not Donald Trump (although it might be an improvement).
I may be wrong here, but it appears that Cher has 243 mats glued to her head in this picture.
I had an absolute torrent of 2 replies to my Who What Where When and Why game! I supplied the clue to the correct answers in the comments section of that blog. The clue is: read Chris' reply. Her answers are correct! Good job. If you would like a prize, Chris, I will drive back over to Tampa and get that mat for you.

I received another e-mail regarding an offer of money this morning! It seems a lovely christian woman is sitting on her deathbed in a hospital somewhere in the United Kingdom(BFE perhaps?) pecking away on her laptop, and trying to unload a large, but unspecified, amount of cash before she conks off. I must reply quickly. With my bank account number and other important personal information so that she may send it to me for my personal enjoyment. If I choose not to reply this vast fortune will revert to the government. I have decided to let it go to Queen Elizabeth so that she might purchase some new tea things.

And here I was, not believing that chain-letter e-mail that arrived 2 weeks ago. It said if I send it to 10 of my friends within 24 hours I will be the recipient of money. I sent it out as quickly as I could scrape up the names of 10 people and here I sit being offered tons of cash from all over the world. Yesterday the Congo, today the United Kingdom! Why just last week I found that $5 in the Albertson's parking lot. All this! Just when my 401K is starting to smell like a dead armadillo!

I think I'll go over to Albertson's for a while. I'll just sit in the parking lot and wait for people to drop money on the ground. Thank you for visiting my blog!
