No longer on the river and, again, an empty nester. Back to living on Fleming Island and making some more friends!

Let's have a tea party!

Today our group of ladies met at Basketique/Over the Second Cup Tea Room for lunch. A feast for the eyes and the tummies!
 Our table settings
Appetizers and strawberry soup first course
Second course of delights including the 'walking salad' of a lettuce leaf wrapped around pickled carrot and asparagus, which is wrapped in prosciutto ham and Swiss cheese. And I love it!
 Here are the more filling sandwiches and main course foods including chicken salad in tortes, pumpkin bread rolled in pecans, deviled eggs, and other treats I cannot recall. I eat them all except the eggs---there, I draw the line! I also drink one cup of tea, as required by the hostess, and then she gives me Diet Coke in a lovely tea cup!
 Here's Linda and her matching soup
 Terri and Betty digging in
 Here is Judy!

Terri was working from home today so she could allot the time to meet us for lunch. It was wonderful, just wonderful! Pat, the proprietress, did not have muffeletta on hand for Linda so arranged to ship it to her home once it came in. Such good customer service for Linda!
