2002.02.14: cirucmstances beyond our control...
"Due to cirucmstances beyond our control, we will not be open until Tuesday Aug 20th."
This sign was posted on the door of Tea and Tomes. Tree and I took a little vacation this weekend, traveling to Florence and Newport to soak in the alarmingly breathtaking Oregon Coast. On Sis and Doc's reccomendation, we had planned on going to Tea and Tomes for Afternoon Tea (and also to pick up a Glug-Glug-Jug). In fact, Tea and Tomes was to be the highlight of the trip and the primary reason we were going to Newport at all.
After a wonderful time in Florence hiking in the Dunes Overlook and the Devil's Churn we arrived at The Sylvia Beach Hotel (a perfect retreat for bibliophiles) and checked into the Emily Dickenson room.
Then we went to check out Tea and Tomes. And saw the abovementioned sign. Alas! Devestation. Much moping. Tree and I eventually managed to cheer oursevles up with pizza.
The Glug-Glug-Jug will have to wait till another time. Sigh.
