Happy Tea Party Tuesday ~ Gingerbread Waffles with Earl Grey Syrup

Happy Tea Party Tuesday!

This week I am joining the
Gingerbread Christmas Tea
hosted by the LOVELY,
Wanda Lee!!
and Pam!!

I had the most amazing experience a few weeks ago.
My husband and I joined our dear friends
and neighbors on a weekend retreat to
Stillwater, MN where we escaped for
a few days into Victorian bliss.

We stayed the historic Ann Bean Mansion and were
treated like royalty by the amazing Innkeepers,
Erin and Jeremy. They were beyond wonderful.

I can not say enough about our experience there, it was truly a magical time. The rooms were so beautiful & well appropriated and the food along with presentation was
*****5 GOLD STARS*****

The weekend was extra special because the
Bed & Breakfast's of Stillwater were hosting
their annual Progressive Christmas Tea and Tour
of each establishment. It was quite a feast for the senses!

It certainly got both my sweetie and I into the
Christmas spirit and we enjoyed the weekend very much.
We both needed to escape the hustle and bustle!

One of the B&B's we toured was the
Lady Goodwood, and while there, we were
treated to a wonderful Raspberry Punch that was
delicious! My good friend Kim was able to
score the recipe for us, THANKS KIM!!!

Good friends, Good memories!! Thanks Guys!!
