So I got out a trusty strong stoneware teapot and brewed some tea, which always makes everything seem better. I only have one mug left out of 4 to this sturdy plain once-was-a-set-now-just-a-memory tea set.
This tea set reminds me of my friend and me. There's only one left now that once was a set. Wonder if my mug misses its mates. Bet it does. Bet it's feelin' blue inside and out! Just like I am.
Joining the following linky parties:
Blue Monday!
Tea Time Tuesday!

I understand how you can be blue with the loss of a good friend.

It's so hard to lose a good friend, may you have happy memories of her every time you drink tea from your blue mug.

I'm sure your friend would want you to get more mugs and make a "new to you" set, if you know what I mean. Here's your chance to be to someone what she was to you!

ReplyDeleteVisiting for Blue Monday! Hope you can stop by:)
