I went to the land of tea. Okay, it was Portland, but the folks there love tea as much as they love their coffee. And I love tea. So, it was nice to find tea in almost all the gift shops.
Like this one at the Rose Garden:
And this one at Fort Vancouver (in Washington)
Of course, we also found shops devoted to selling teas, like this one that had a blue raspberry tea that is just awesome:
And this lovely set from a tea shop in Milwaukee, OR that my cat loves.
Then my oldest was happy to give me tea she picked out for my birthday. Which caused a thorough search going through security. That black bear blackberry is wonderful.
It wasn’t until I came home to a fully reorganized pantry that my youngest noticed the large quantities of tea I already stored. She thinks I have a problem. I don’t. I have tea. The two are spelled completely different:D.
Until next time.

I like it brisk.
