Daddy was working, so that left "the girls" at loose ends. Mama, Laura, Ruth Ann and I made arrangements to have high tea at a cute little tea room in Spring Hill, called the Shamrock, Rose, and Thistle. It was decorated with just the right touch. Lovely and "tea room-like", but not stuffy or overdone. Very sweet, and comfortable, but like we'd stepped into another era... We tasted two distinctly different teas, one hot and one iced, and had a tiered platter of finger sandwiches, scones, and desserts. All very British and very la-di-dah!
There was a cute gift shop, too, so naturally, I had to buy some things. I am always a sucker for "gourmet foods", so picked up some jams and such for future gifts. (Shhh!)
That evening, the rest of the clan came back late, tired and sunburned. They thought we were the ones who missed out on a good time, but we know the real story...
That evening, we were treated to dinner at the home of our friends, Susan and Tom Thomas. They are always ready to entertain at a moment's notice, and are great cooks - and they're willing to fill their house up with my family! Those are real friends!
