Ten years ago the four of us enjoyed tea at the Queen Mary Tea Room in Seattle for Katie’s 3oth birthday. Today the four of us along with Addy, Linda and Florence will be celebrating at a Tea Room in Post Falls, Idaho. We are raising our pinkies to Katie and Jamie who are turning a number they are both shy to mention but you can do the math. Today is Katie’s actual birthday and Jamie’s will be in nineteen more days. There will be a full post devoted to our time in the near future. Ten years ago was Jamie’s first experience having tea in a tearoom. Today will be Addy’s first ‘tea experience’ in an actual tearoom. May the memory making moments continue!

Happy Birthday to Jamie and Katie. And may Addy enjoy her first tearoom experience.
…a great way to celebrate, Happy Birthday, ladies.
What fun! I will be thinking about you and all your girls – even Florence, how fun! – lifting your little finger as you drink your fancy tea. Addy is in for a treat.
Pinkies raised in time—
ten years steeped, one cup refilled,
new hands learn the pour. 🫖
Hello Ellen,
Lovely photo and Happy Birthday to Katie and Jamie!
Have a happy last weekend of 2025.
I love how you are carrying on the tradition with your “girls”. Blessings in the New Year.
Enjoying a formal Tea is a lovely way to celebrate a birthday! Have a wonderful time and Happy Birthday to Katie and Jamie!
How nice that Addy is old enough to join the ladies for tea. 🙂
