Tea & A Segway

We got into town just in time to have a pot of tea and a scone before they closed! We talked about going to One Flight Up, coffee house that we love, but having tea won! They make a nice scone, but I adore their lemon curd! You can see it in the little cup. The tea room is pictured below, oh, I talked with the owner (I talk to everyone ; ) and she is from Michigan.

I can hardly believe it's been a month since I last blogged! Life has been crazy busy round here with the end of school, friends vacationing here, and getting to spend time with family that came to Florida! Life has been a whirlwind this past month. Part of that whirlwind was dealing with our Michigan home...no, we still have not closed. Grrr, y'all. That's why Sissy & I went to Mount Dora, to escape the whirlwind and just sit a spell. I can feel my blood pressure drop when I enter this captivating town.





Do y'all know what those are? I have always been curious about them, so I snapped a few pictures as they zoomed by us. The traffic is so low that they are in the street! Well, about 20 minutes later, a man approached us and asked if I was the one who took his picture? I was thinking, oh my, I will delete it, oh so sorry, but before I could get a word out, he said, "Here, get on, wanna try?" Oh how I love The South. Why YES, I'd love to try it! Here I am after just seconds of explaining how it works...I was a pro, well um, maybe not a pro, but I did not fall over either! Y'all it was SO fun! He took me around the block, then had Sissy hop on...she was a pro too, just like her Mama.


Here is Sissy going past the Wine Den and a couple of giggling gals. They were quite fun and asked me to take their pic, maybe I'll put it in my next post! Mr Segway seemed to know them, cause he told Sissy to go ahead and hit them if they didn't move...wink. Life in a small town and all it's characters, ya gotta love it. That's him in the photo below. I love this one because you can see the Windsor Rose Tea Room in the distance.


There's Sissy, way in the background, waiting patiently as I play with my new camera. (Happy dance, I got it for Mother's Day!) We took a walk through this cozy town and I snapped photos more than I walked. I want to share all 500 of this quaint town with all y'all, but promise to keep it down to a few : ) This fountain is actually on the outskirts of the downtown area. I just love this town and have pondered moving here...but I'm not so sure Hubby would like his new commute to work. It's a good thing I didn't put an offer in on that neat mini plantation house I saw with horse property!

"Southern" town in central Florida & TEA

Sissy could hardly wait to check out this historic B&B...she's almost running. Don't y'all love the YELLOW on this house?!? It makes me smile.


Found this darling English cottage tea room, but as you see, it was closed. I will be returning.


Here is another Tea room ~ restaurant I must check into as well. What a lovely "Southern" town I have found, here in the heart of central Florida!
