The tranquil view!
In a two story, second floor apartment at the U-Naps lived two beautiful damsels. They sat on white washed antique furniture and admired the creation before them through a grand 8 by 8 foot window. Through the transparent glass stood a 40foot greek pine looking tree decorated with festive ordinary tea bags. The bags hung cariously just so. You would think they held significance for swinging there, but they didn’t. Just there. What do you do that just is?
The modern day princesses unexpectedly met with no pre-made plans. They sat and talked about LIFE! They caught up and talked about old soul thoughts. OLD SOUL!!!!! The title sounds fun and nostalgic. What do you wish that life still had?
Chivalry, when men would woo women!!!!
TEA Time, white, red, black or green?
Families gathering around the radio. Today that would look like loved ones around a ipod. Podcast or sermon anyone?
Nice home cooking! I promise it's a great bonding experience. Grab some friends or family members and journal/capture the moments.
Cooking is an art!
It's always nice to cozy yourself up on a couch sitting in the window's sunlight.
What happened to good old fashion storytelling? Have you listened or created one recently?
Are you a part of a book club???? Get your summer dress, pearls, high heels and grab a book and friends to dive in it's riches.
What happened to creating or filming plays? Instead of the tube, grab a pen and paper and script.
Evenings women would sit around the fireplace knit, sew or quilt.
Explore your imagination. Use the creative mind God gave you.
Enjoy the small things! Sing, make music, be merry!
Take the time to write a snail letter for a friend or loved one.They would appreciate it!
Words to write on: feelings, appreciation, thoughts, a story....
Paint your imagination or the images God gives you.
Other thoughts: (What happened to the drawing room?) (What happened to people shadowing masters in the arts?) Now I know people do these past times, but in my bubble it seems these simple activities are getting masked in our busyness.

The Discovery Of Tea
“Legend has it that tea was discovered by the Chinese Emperor, Shan Nong, in 2737 B.C.
The Emperor had a habit of boiling his drinking water. One day while he was in his garden a few tea leaves fell by chance into his boiling water which then gave off a rich, alluring aroma. The Emperor, upon drinking this brew, discovered it to be refreshing and energizing.
He immediately gave the command that tea bushes to be planted in the gardens of his palace. Thus the custom of brewing fresh tea leaves in hot water began and it quickly spread.”
