Across the Sea for Afternoon Tea

Yesterday afternoon, in a little tea room, just north of Toronto, 

I had the pleasure of getting to know three lovely ladies whom I had

 visited on several occasions, but had never actually met. 

A curious set of circumstances, wouldn't you say?

Funnily enough, we'd been to each other's homes, 

toured one another's gardens, and even journeyed 

to faraway places together, yet our paths had never crossed.

Cyberspace Airways is good like that.

So, on a blustery, but bright, April day,

we bypassed the line up of cliché  cafes,

for Victorian treats and blended bouquets,

of jasmine, lavender and some fragrant Earl Grey.

We chatted and giggled and not surprisingly, talked shop.

And on the subject of Google, swapped stories, non-stop!

We even formed our own cozy quartet,

humming harmonies about hashtags,

and forgotten passwords being reset!

Bonding via Blogger in a tiny tea house on Main Street,

my cup is full of memories of a sweet 'Meet & Greet'!

 Until next time,

I'd like to thank Jennifer, Judith, and Karen,

for a fun and fabulous Afternoon Tea!

 It was a pleasure meeting you in person,

- for real, and not just virtually!

Also, thanks to the Old Curiosity Tea Shop for 

a wonderful afternoon.

Have you met up with any of your blogging friends?

Thanks for visiting!
