Tea with The Duke {of Earl Grey}

I must admit,
I'm now in love with Earl Grey
You can catch me having tea with Earl Grey every day.
and
It's all because of Koralee !

You see,
I've enjoyed tea with Earl Grey for years,
but Koralee explained how wonderful Earl is in a "London Fog."
Now, I can't wait to enjoy a few moments
in a
London Fog.

{I mix a tiny amount of pure vanilla right in the frothy milk before pouring on top of the tea}

Thank you, Koralee for introducing us.
It's the little things in life that keep us smiling, isn't it?

After work today, I'm meeting up with Chris.
We'll go to the P.O. and drop off what we owe Caesar
then spend some time sitting outside at Starbucks.
They're offering FREE COFFEE just because.
It's TAX DAY.
That's nice of them, since half of us will be walking around with empty pockets ;o)
I just love my coffees and teas!

~ Thank God for the little things ~ 

I hope your day is filled with lovely little moments of JOY.

  10. Hello, Maria,
    Your tea looks delicious! I like tea, but I really love coffee, I must admit. Enjoy your time at Starbucks, and yes, my pockets are empty!! I love that quote so much. It is one of my absolute favorites. I hope you have a terrific Friday and lovely weekend, my friend! Love and blessings, Vicki

  12. Oh my...Maria, it was not good. I was enjoying my morning "chit~chat", when all of a sudden my screen darkened, and windows 7 gave me an "update". I lost everything I had accumulated, which wasn't a lot, being that my baby is still "shiny and new"... my "little photo collection" that I use for my posts, and a few other goodies... still quite disturbing ...thanks so much for your concern, I do so enjoy your visits ...have lovely evening ...Rosie

  15. Maria~I've just purchased a frother and am thrilled with it. If you can imagine...I've been so distracted with using it for coffee, it didn't occur to me to froth cream for my teas, which I drink more of. When I'm feeling indulgent for sugar in my tea...I like a little honey or now my desired sweetness, Agave nectar, most times it's Stevia.
    My tea addiction is China Republic Ginger Peach and Chinese loose leaf Jasmine.
    I hope to see you soon, your company would be nice.

    Sweet wishes,
    Sara
