Theresa’s Hangout

Sutter Creek Tea

My sister, Sally, has been planning teas at various tea houses and it’s so much fun! Recently we visited Tea Era’s Tea Room on Main Street in Sutter Creek.

My favorite tea that day was the San Francisco Blend. Their most popular tea!  An aromatic blend of Ceylon, jasmine, cinnamon, and strawberry. We also enjoyed scones with clotted cream, lemon bars, and wonderful southern style bread pudding. Yummy!

Have you ever been to a tea house?

I enjoyed Easter this year. It was a perfect day. Great weather and great fun. We ate shish kabobs and sipped margaritas. The wild bunnies were running around, ducks landing in the pool and birds everywhere. We took pictures because that’s what we like to do! Never enough pictures.

What did you do for Easter this year?

round and round we go...

Okay, I’ve been working on revising my ninth novel for nearly two months now and I am starting to think this will never end. I’ve been writing every day, six to eight hours a day, even Saturdays and sometimes on Sunday and I’m starting to feel as if I’m on a hamster wheel. And yet I know the book is getting better. I took an on-line pacing class and I learned so much. That scares me. I’ve been writing for about fourteen years now. I know we’re always supposed to be learning and improving, but come on! I cut words, sentences, and paragraphs that have no purpose. I added scenes. I added tension. And then I go back to the beginning and start over again. Man, oh, man. I love being a writer!
