The End of an Era

About 5 1/2 years ago a little tea room called Belle's Tea Cottage opened here.  Ever since it opened, I have gone there every few months with friends or my girls.  I found out last week that the owner and her husband have decided to retire and, of course, I had to go there one last time with the girls and my mom...who is home from Hawaii now (actually two since I am going again next week with some friends).

Every time we had gone to Belle's, Tara had gotten the same cup.  They are selling off all their inventory of dishes, so we bought the cup.

Sammy had to take a picture of her raspberry chai latte....it's Sammy, need I say more?

The girls got a little silly at the end

A picture of all of us...man, my hair is flat here!

We had an awesome time at lunch, but all felt a little sad (Tara even cried).  We will truly miss this tradition.
