Been away again..but have news!

This has been such a lazy weekend. My hubby Lee, had his birthday on the 21st and he took Friday off. So for 3 days we did nothing. NOTHING!
I spent a lot of time on the couch reading and I did some beading as well.
These are the most favorite things I can do these days that do not involve a trip to my brother's back porch! THAT, my friends is the BEST place in the world.
I had a pot or two of tea this weekend and some great news!
Two dear friends of ours who live in Wilmington, NC is the first bit of news. The one friend is going to be a momma and the other friend who happens to be HER momma is going to be a grandma!
I am going to go into more detail on that on Sun & Moon.
The other bit of good news is a dear witch friend of mine is coming out of her bayou home to visit me in the low country in June AND she is bringing me some andouille sausage from the 'Big Easy' with her! Oh, Boy!

She wants to see America's only tea plantation and that is right here on Wadmalaw Island.
There are a few tea rooms here in Charleston and one in Summerville. This is a chance to not only show her the area, but to report on the tea rooms of the low country for my blog.
Unfortunately, we both suffer from a chronic illness. The one I discuss on the other site and the same illness that will sometimes without warning bump me off of all of my pages for a few days. BUT we will perserve and gimp along together even if we have to hold each other up and get a step ladder to boost us into the horse carriages!
Don't worry Wyllow! I am looking forward to the visit!

I have had the time this weekend to enjoy a tea called "Zhena's Gypsy Tea - Sense of Peace"
This is an organic tea and although I normally only buy loose tea, this tea is round bags.
The ingredients of this tea are Organic White Tea, Organic Egyptian Mint and Roses.
Purchased at EarthFare grocery store for $8.99 for a tin of 30 tea bags, it is overall a good tea. Although the price was really high for such simple ingredients.
Gypsy Tea is a tea company dedicated to the fair trade which is so very important in todays world.
From looking at the sight, there are 13 types of tea available and a new one called "V-Tea" which is white tea with vanilla.
The sight for Gypsy Tea is very thought provoking and she sells beautifully packaged tea.
I still think her prices are high.

Tomorrow, hopefully, we move on to get a better daily grip on this blog thing now that the computer isn't doing the "out to lunch" bit that was so common with XP.
