Karen, me, Mrs. Virginia, and DebsToday Debs, Karen, and I went to the Farewell Tea at Strawberry Tea Room. As I mentioned before, after 6 years of serving us tea Mrs. Virginia sadly had to close her tea room so today was our last tea at Strawberry. She decided to serve just one flavor of tea today instead of letting everyone choose separately off of the tea menu and fittingly (for me) she chose to serve Angel's Dream (my FAVORITE!) to everyone. The food was delicious as ever. After the tea service we presented Virginia with a present from us. Debs, Karen, Tara, and I are a Pink Hat Group (which is the younger version of the Red Hat Group). We named our group Strawberries from Pink to Red since our usual tea room to go to as a group was Strawberry. And the Pink to Red was because we are starting out as Pink Hats and we'll eventually become Red Hats when we turn 50. Sooooo, since we named our Pink Hat group after her tea room we wanted to give Virginia a pink hat to remember us by and to make her an honorary member. She opened the gift and when we explained why we were giving her the hat she just teared up and started to cry. I gave her a hug and she hugged me so tight and wouldn't let go. :-(
Goodbye Mrs. Virginia.
Goodbye Angel's Dream Tea.
Goodbye Ginger's Chicken Salad.
Goodbye Strawberry Tea Room.

Ok, I was perfectly fine reading this until the last few goodbye lines. :( That was so sad that we had to say goodbye to Mrs. Virginia. And the look on her face when you were explaining the reason for the hat.
