Tea and Celebration with My Dear Friend B.

My dear friend and loyal reader of this blog, B., noticed even before I mentioned it here that I was approaching my 500th blog post. She invited me to tea to celebrate that occasion, and we enjoyed our celebratory tea this afternoon. What a good time we had! I appreciated so much her honoring me and the blog with her recognition of this milepost (a small one in the scheme of things, I know, but meaningful to me, as I have so much enjoyed writing this blog). I thoroughly enjoyed her company, our conversation about books (among other things), and our tea and delicacies, served in pretty teapots and teacups for the tea and multilayered trays for the sweet treats. It happens that B. and I both love tea -- the drink and the meal -- and have shared many delightful afternoon teas together over the years. As B and her husband often say, and as I heartily agree, what could be better than breaking bread -- OK, scones and crumpets in this case -- with good friends? And if you and your friend share a great love of books, lend and give each other books, exchange recommendations, and in general celebrate books, that is even better! Thanks, B.!
