I Highly Recommend the following decaf delights:
- Orange Spice (lovely for the fall and winter months with just a touch of sugar)
- Green Tea with Apricot (fruity and chock full o' healthy antioxidants)
- Bourbon Street Vanilla Rooibos (mild and pleasant with a nice hint of vanilla and grenadine...one of my very favorite teas!)
- Special Teas

I Highly Recommend the following decaf delights:
- Chai (nicely flavored with ginger, cinnamon, and vanilla)
- Peach ( a
- Cinnamon Orange Spice (a touch stronger than the Tea Table blend)
- The White Lily Tearoom
- This was a precious tea room until it closed, but you can still order tasty teas and a mix for Vickie's yummy scones online.

Greta's Favorite Smelly Old Books
Young Horatio Hornblower, C.S. Forester: I love to sniff the old torn spine of this book. I sit primly on the open pages and just rest my nose on the book, getting a high from the musty, basement-y odor.
The Bastable Children, E. Nesbit: It's soft, faded linen cover is almost as tattered & smelly as YHH.
The Father Christmas Letters, J.R.R. Tolkien: I am only able to smell this rare secondhand copy during Advent, and I have to sneak to sit on it when no one is looking.

Ack! I totally agree. When I spoke with Joel for the first time, I gave him my personal test. I told him what I was reading currently and asked what he was reading.
I usually got a response from men who would say they didn't read or just read the Bible. Hmm... Did they really?
Anyway, Joel not only commented that he had read the same author that I was, he gave me a list, yes, a LIST of books he was currently reading. As in more than one. One of which was a book in the Lord of the Rings. He said he wasn't a fantasy reader until he started reading these book.
It's been a match made in book heaven ever since.
