A Toast With Toast and Tea

In honor of the launch of this online memoir, where family and friends can share memories and record history, I, for one, am toasting.  Will you join me in a toast with toast and tea?

Here's how it is done.  Make your tea, whatever you have will do.  But make sure to add a little honey and if your stomach can tolerate it, a little milk.  Let that steep while you toast your bread.  Make sure it is well done!  Place your tea on a saucer and your toast on a paper towel, folded in half.  This is how it is done.  Or at least this is how I've seen it done time and time again by Grandma and Grandpa Mousley.

This tea cup was handed down to Evelyn from her great-grandma (Wilson side). 

A toast to family and memories and to stories to be uncovered, to traditions and legacies passed down.  A toast to progeny and posterity. May this be a place where stories are shared and connections are made between present, past, and future!

    (A beautiful post, Asia. I love the folded paper towel--I so remember that detail!)
