Dining Room #2
Dont worry! We got to him before he ripped the picture off of the easel.Today we surprised Nonna by making the long trip to see her new Tea room! The English Garden Tea room and Gift Shop has been open for a little over a month now, but I am just now getting around to doing a post about it. I have been there to help them set things up, but I havent actually been there since they opened for business since it was around the time of the holidays and Connors birthday. We just hadnt had time to get down there. It is about an hour and twenty minutes from my house, so that makes it hard to get down there very often. However, as soon as Connor gets a little older I am really looking forward to helping out whenever I can. They have done a beautiful job and I cant tell you how proud I am of them for making their dream become a reality! I know many people who talk about doing something they dream about, but not many actually DO IT. They are incredibly blessed to have the resources to accomplish that dream and are very thankful for that. I hope that everyone from the area can arrange a visit to the English Garden and experience a "tea" there! If you have never had a "high tea", you are in for a treat. It is a custom that is indulged in everyday in England. It is a very relaxing and laid back way to catch up with friends or celebrate a special occasion. The English Garden is located in Gallatin, just outside the square on College Street. They are open from 10:00- 4:00 for the gift shop and 10:00- 2:00 for tea. Go and visit if you can!

Lynn, Linda and I had a wonderful visit with your mom on Monday! We had homemade chicken salad, potato soup, quiche and numerous desserts including Lynn's favorite-Hungarian Butter Horns! And of course, tea! Everything was absolutely delicious!!! The tea room is beautiful and the whole experience was like therapy. It was wonderful visiting with my sweet friend. I am so very happy for your mom!
