Ooh Tea Cosies!!!

My sister and I took a recent trip to Kingston for the afternoon to pick up some lovely vases for her upcoming wedding. After a trip down the 401 that Noah probably would have avoided, a transfer of a unmarked box from one trunk to another in an underground garage, and a lovely lunch, we headed downtown Kingston for further fun.

My bestest friend from high school and his wife joined us (in fact chauffeured us) around the town. We did a small drive by tour of Fort Henry. Saw the incredible leaning trees and an empty field that we just had to get out and read the place marker. Turned out the empty field use to be a hospital. Back into the car and down to the shopping area where we found a lovely craft market displayed. There were a lot of artisans here and a few I have seen sell their wears at other markets. The best from this small excursion was my buddy James re-enacting an event that happened several years ago when I was visiting him.....

(cue dream sequence) I couldn't believe it when I was walking with James through a Christmas craft show that quite some time of passing booth after booth James squeals with delight....(yes squeals!!!) "Oooh Tea Cosies". Look at this guy. 6 ' 4", big, burly and is excited about tea cosies. He told me at the time...."this is what buying a new home does to you". I of course never believed his story. However, it's still a great tale in both of our minds and one we'll probably laugh another 25 years about.
