Three friends take fancy tea break

We went to Camella Rose yesterday for tea. I don't know if it was "high" tea. I don't think so because it was at 1 p.m. I think high tea is later in the afternoon but what do I know. It was an experience (expensive). It was a treat for me though. A break from walking dogs and stripping my kayak. My hands hurt from the stripping and sanding so giving them a break for a day was a good idea. The food on that three tiered serving piece was "light" to say the least. The deserts on the bottom shelf were excellent and also small portions. The tea flowed freely, all you could consume. We tried different selections from the 45 offered. I think my favorite was the Blueberry that Sharon had. Each tea pot and cup and saucer are different. The hats are placed all around the cafe so one can choose the appropriate one. It was fun.

I came home - was exhausted and laid down for an hour. My eyes, especially my left one, are drooped nearly closed. I drove the trip to Plant City and back. That was alot for me at this stage. It will be another week before I see much of a change. I have been taping them open for short drives. That works pretty well but then they are tired afterwards. We don't realize how much concentration our eyes have to do while we drive. With most Blepharospasm patients, driving and watching TV are the most challenging. I couldn't drive at all or watch TV for several years after I was diagnosed in '98. Actually, there was an 8 mos. period when I couldn't do much of anything for myself. That was a difficult time but many neighbors and the NC Assoc. of the Blind came through for me.

Thought for the day -

Be at peace and see a clear pattern and plan running through all your lives.

Nothing is by chance.
