A fun story-When Raymond and I first got married we had a tea party, in the rain.(I told you it is something fun to do in the rain!!) Raymond made garbage bags into little rain coats and took a little table out in our front yard and a little china tea set that I had since I was a little girl (a long time ago!!!) and we had a tea party with the rain that was falling into our tea cups!!!! I NEVER HAVE A DULL MOMENT WITH MY WONDERFUL HUSBAND!!!!! Have a great day, enjoy the rain and the tea. My favorite tea is Spiced Chai Tea, with a little honey!! God Bless!
