How was your week? Last weekend we held our daughter's engagement party, and this weekend we celebrate our son's birthday and Easter. With so many exciting activities happening, I think I need a cup of tea. Won't you join me?
I thought we'd have our time together by the fire. It's been chilly for the past few days here in Texas. Spring seems to be so indecisive this year! What about in your area?
Let me pour your tea. Today I'm serving English Breakfast, a favorite of mine.
Milk? Sugars? Please take whatever treats you like. I'm going to start with a curried chicken sandwich.
How many of you are on Pinterest - the site where boards are created to hold things of interest? It reminds me of scrapbooking only with links.
I think I'll try a lemon tart.

This week I created a board for Jillian's Garden Tips.
In my books, she sometimes shares from the Ask Jillian gardening column so I thought others might benefit from her knowledge. Plus it's such fun to find tips and pin them!
May I refill your cup?
Here's an excerpt from my second book "The Ghost Orchid Murder."
It was time to get
dressed, but I felt so lazy I decided to check my e-mails first. Everything was
going well at the paper. Some ads for gardening paraphernalia I always received…click,
delete; a comment from a reader saying they loved the last column on summer bulbs...enlightening;
more solicitations for gardening tools…delete, and then I was finished. No
personal messages, no family member in crisis, no one needing me in any way.
Maybe that was a
good thing, but I couldn’t fool myself. Being needed was what life was all
about. Did Vincent need me? That remained to be seen. I shut down my computer
and got dressed just in time for room service.
Thanks for joining me today. I enjoyed our tea together.
Hope to see you next week for Tea Party Tuesday.
In the meanwhile, Go Jillian and Teddy!
