Good Morning!

Teddy

It's time once again for Vee's Note Card Party.
Teddy is so easy to photograph.

He's a natural when it comes to posing.

Lazy days in the sun are one of his specialties.

Such a handsome guy.

Wishing YOU well and much joy.

Purr! 

Tea For One

A dear friend and I had a late breakfast at The Avalon Diner.

Next door to the diner is a fun shop called The Frog At Home.

We couldn't pass up checking it out!

Look what I found.

Isn't it fun?

It made me smile -- instantly -- and I kept smiling all the way home 

-- my new little Tea For One in hand.

I had to have the salt and pepper shakers, too!

Such wonderful, bright, cheery colors.

Each piece has a mark that reads:♥Babs

I was getting ready to pour tea and have a raspberry white chocolate scone when the lovely Miss Cassie decided to join me.

A big thank you to our tea party hosts:

Tuesday Cuppa Tea

Wishing YOU well, much joy, a wonderful cup of tea and many smiles today!

This and That

It's raining.

It's been raining all week.

After our horrible drought last summer, I'm not going to complain about rain.

I spent a lovely day with a good friend.

Part of the day we walked through the gem and mineral show. 

Lots of ooooouing and awwwwwwwing! 

Speaking of this friend - I've mentioned her before.

She is an art teacher.

I've spent some summer days with her helping her prepare for the coming school year.

She always has good ideas for me.

She has started a blog called Manifestations.
Some art education, art history, a trip to Tuscany -- I think you would enjoy it.
Please go by and visit and welcome her to the World of Blog!

I've really been enjoying my bushel delivery every two weeks from FarmHouse Delivery.

I'm in tomato heaven! Fresh, organic, sweet, delicious! 

The best summer has to offer.

And peaches -- Oh, my! 

I love when it's time for the Tour De France.

I admire the athletes taking part in the race, but admit I watch to see the beautiful scenery!!

I'm up early to get my mornings off to a good start with the Tour.

Speaking of France, MJ at WanderWonderDiscover 

started her summer off in France. Lucky girl!

She sent me this wonderful postcard and teased me with a short message about tea on the back! 

Thank you MJ! So wonderful to have thoughtful blogmates.

We've had an exciting week around here with introducing the lovely Princess Mina to the group.

But today it's all about Cassie.

She has been so good about the new kitty in the house.

She gets extra hugs and treats! 

I'd like to thank Liv Lane for the Little Bliss List

and the lovely Beth for Postcard Friendship Friday.

Wishing YOU well, much joy and a fun filled weekend!

Good Morning!
