T Stands For Friendship Tea

 

Before we begin today, I want to apologize for my lack of participation this past weekend.   Two of my No Name, No Photos friends who I shared my bEARTHday meal with, talked about St. Louis.  I mentioned how many times I had been inside the Arch and how it was so much more exciting than when I visited the Statue of Liberty, they decided to treat me to a weekend in St. Louis.  All went well when we left on Friday, but when we chose to come home, we ran into tornado warnings, tornadoes, flash flooding, and thunderstorms that were relentless.  Needless to say, we didn't get home until about noon today.  Of course, I hadn't prepared my T Tuesday post, so I hope I make it on time.

I'm at my library table with a card and gift from my dear friend RO!.  When RO! asked me to wait to open my gift on my bEARTHday, some of you thought the temptation would be too great.  What you don't understand is, for me, the anticipation is as satisfying as the actual opening of the gift. 

To prove I waited until the actual day, I brought my phone to the table to show the date and time.  I found it worked better when the phone was actually turned off. 

 

I knew Lisca would be interested in the stamps.

 

 

  The set of four is from 2019 and called Military Working Dogs. 

 

I absolutely adore the card RO! sent.  The outside gives you a hint of what is to come.

This is the adorable inside.

Upon closer inspection, I noticed the little cards opened to

reveal the humorous saying inside.  Each card had something clever or funny behind it.

Then it was time to open the candle.  I knew it was a candle because it was written on the outside of the box.

 

It was certainly carefully packed.  Not sure why I can't get some images to left align.

 

What could be better for T than Friendship Tea?

Thank you beyond belief, RO!.  You certainly know how to spoil me.  This is the perfect entry for T because it is a reference to a drink. 

 

It's now time to share your own drink related post.  It can be photos, a place you visited, movies, postcards, books, sketches, mixed media, drawings, paintings, tags, scrapbooking, or other art that is digital, hybrid, or traditional, as long as it in some way relates back to a drink, any drink.  Regardless, please share below and Bleubeard and I will gladly visit, as will other T participants.  Please link only your T post and not your blog in general.  Bleubeard would like to remind you that old photos are acceptable because they may be taken any time, not just on Tuesday and not just this year.  Please remember to visit your fellow T participants.  I sincerely hope to do the same!!!

 

 

I'd be remiss if I didn't remind you it's time to dig up your Second on the 2nd.  The rules are quite simple.  You can use any post, any length, any genre, as long as it's been published sometime in the past.  I sincerely hope you will join Bleubeard and me on the 2nd.
