My Grandmother Bruno is from England and would often speak of high tea with her girlfriends when she was a teenager. I 've always imagined my beautiful grandma dressed up with her lipstick and her hair all done sipping tea with her friends. How fun I would always think to myself! Well today I was fortunate enough to experience sipping on tea with friends just like my grandmother. I went to the Victorian Rose where they serve Tea and organic coffee with fresh homemade scones, muffins, croissants, quiche, and a wonderful pecan cinnamon roll. Unbelievable! Everything was so yummy and fresh. I spoke with Kathleen the owner and she informed me that everything is made from scratch. She also uses organic products when ever she is able. The table were set up with lovely linens, candles, flower... 04/03/2008

About an hour ago I finished up helping Michelle Vance and the Main Street crew pass out wine and chocolate. It made me really amped about this event not only because I love Valentines but Michelle did an outstanding job of organizing it. All of the businesses were decorated and full of excitement. The presentation looks really nice with the wine and chocolates displayed on pretty white tray's. There are so many good wines and the truffles are unbelievable there is also something for the non drinkers. Tehachapi Area Association of Realtors will have sparkling cider to serve along with there yummy truffle.

One of the great things about living in a town with 4 seasons is we get to have an occasional snow day. I have two little boy's that love this time of year when it snows. We don't get a lot but we did get about 6 inches last night of nice powder. I found that it's not as easy as it looks to put a carrot on a snowman's face or coal for his eyes. It was a lot of fun finding ways to do it and in the end our snowman came out perfect. Tehachapi is definitely one of those places that you love to raise your kids!  02/04/2008
