Saturday Surfing:Coffee Savings for World Fair Trade Day!!

by Marye on May 10th, 2008

I think that is my favorite image this week.    If only that table looked like that all the time!

How was your week? Mine has been super busy.  I feel like I have neglected the blog!  I have not visited much, not because I don’t wish to visit but because I have been so overwhelmed with my to-do list.  I hope to be visiting again soon.

I have a backlog of posts that I have notes for but we just spent so much time at the VA this week I couldn’t post them.   W will be camping out there a bit next week, too. Neurosurgury consult, pain clinic, labs, new CAT scan…sigh…Marc’s pain level had gotten quite intense and we are trying to find the correct amount of pain killers balancing between making him comfortable and knocking him completely out.  If you pray, please do. This has been a difficult time.

On to fun things.  Grab your tea or coffee…choose something from the tea table to nibble on and  let’s go.

First stop for me this morning was Christie at Charm & Grace.  She wrote about an interesting tea that she attended with her mother at her local library.  The images she took were beautiful and who could resist a bring your own cup, Jane Austen tea?

Swaps are fun.  Here is a loose leaf tea swap.   You will need to email the hostess if you don’t have enough feedback points and get special permission, bit for this? Probably SO worth it.  If you do it please post about it and let us know what you got!

Modern Princess knows how to make real southern sweet tea!

Jane Goodall and Green Mountain Roasters unveiled a new coffee this week, Tanzanian Gombe Reserve Coffee. The coffee is grown in an area where the farmers are very poor.  As they have cleared land a group of chimps has become isolated and unable to move off the small wild area they inhabit.  This coffee is designed to bring attention to the problem.
