Stirring My Afternoon Tea

Sitting here stirring my afternoon tea. Earl Grey is my favourite, so that it must be. 
With the fragrance of Bergamot filling the air, recollections at Grandma's house take me right there. 
She'd brew up a pot, serve cookies and cake, or sometimes a Cadbury's chocolate flake. 
So that's why Earl Grey is my first choice of tea, for it brings back dear memories of Grandma and me.

I'm so happy you love the photo of my sweet little Elle. Photos and memories are all I have left of her now, as she left this world on Nov 1st. I have not been myself since her departure as every place in my home is a reminder that she is no longer here.

Tom Woody Date: 12/31/2023 3:17:00 PM You and Jon Luc Picard. Nice poem Login to Reply Anne E Sangster - K Date: 1/5/2024 11:51:00 AM Oh, big time Trekkie fan! Smiles Anne :-) Tom Woody Date: 1/1/2024 1:16:00 PM Ahhh you must be a fellow Trekkie? Anne E Sangster - K Date: 1/1/2024 7:44:00 AM Apparently the crew could just put the used dishes back into the replicator and they would be beamed away. The replictor was a matter converter that could synthesis both organic and inorganic materials via rearrangement of subatomic particles. The particles were then stored for future use. Tom Woody Date: 12/31/2023 3:57:00 PM I was always curious what they did with all the replicated cups, bowls, plates etc. Anne E Sangster - K Date: 12/31/2023 3:45:00 PM Thank you Tom. Just wish I had Captain Picard's food replicator. " Tea, Earl Grey, hot!" Smiles, Anne :-)
