Over Afternoon Tea

Tea is not only a drink but a ritual over which people have been relaxing, talking, and catching up on each other's lives for centuries. This blog is intended to serve as a virtual cup of tea, helping me keep in touch with friends and family in my physical absence.

Can I adopt my sister-in-law?

She's five. She just had a tooth out. She can ride her bicycle (which used to be Martha's) without training wheels, but she has to use a stump to mount it. Her bedtime is nine, but she's up till ten tonight because she wants to be with Mama, because she loves her.

If my husband's kids are as cute as his siblings, I'm in luck.
