My friends get me the most amazing things sometimes and the teapot featured today is one of a kind. It makes me smile whenever I look at it. Smiling is a very good thing.
When I left Iowa I left behind a lot of great friends. One of my last fun times out with friends included Donna and Jeni and we enjoyed some fun and a meal together. Of course there were pictures involved because we are bloggers after all.
Jeni stepped up the game and when I arrived in Dothan to live temporarily before heading to North Carolina I found a package waiting for me with this magical teapot inside. 
I absolutely love it. The picture captured exactly how much fun we have together including my wild Iowa windswept hair. 
Jeni found a way to give me the perfect gift that will always remind me our our lunch at Papa’s American Cafe and our fun times together. I think you have to agree that even though my pictures are not that great it is a pretty sweet teapot.
Though I cannot flee
From the world of corruption,
I can prepare tea
With water from a mountain stream
And put my heart to rest.
