Caught up with our friends, the Pierces for a Sunday afternoon full of tea. I bought one of those Groupons and sometimes you never know what you are going to get but this one didn't disappoint. We had so much tea we could practically float home! It was Penny and Dave's first tea and I think both had an enjoyable time.

Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of
