Tea For Two

  Carrie and I have known each other for over 30 years!  Even though I've stayed in Colorado all this time, Carrie has moved several times and is now in Tx.  But she's excited that BOTH of her kids are now in Colorado so made a trip out here to see them and friends!

We've always loved to have tea together and this year was no exception!  I made reservations at Creations Everlasting over in Cripple Creek - I've been there many times with friends and family and always enjoy Evie, the owner!

I made our reservation for 11:30, knowing there would be PLENTY of food for a lunch, even though it was tea!  And I was very surprised when we walked in, as the usual tea place is in a corner of her gift shop but it wasn't there any longer - she had moved it out to the huge open area behind (which is a part of a casino but not used for that any more) and had it roped off with mirrors and lights and trees - so cute!

Our first course was a bowl of fruit - a HUGE bowl of fruit - for EACH of us!  WOW - most of that went home with us!    And the second course were 3 plates of tea sandwiches - oh so good!

And we went through a couple pots of tea!

Last but not least was dessert - 2 pieces of cheesecake, a slice of lemon bread and a maple scone with homemade whipped cream - all SO good - and most of it we brought back home!

It was a lovely time just sipping tea, eating our sandwiches and dessert and talking!

When it was time to leave, we had 3 boxes of to go items AND she sent home the rest of the loaf of lemon bread with us - what a sweetheart she is!

And then we were off to the next place!
