Another Magical Sunset / Tea House

I was up in the loft on the computer when I noticed amber light coming in through the windows.

I stepped out on to the third deck and was treated to another magical sunset.

I get the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets right from home.

The colors make me so happy.

----------

As I had been in bed all day...

but was feeling so much better...

I decided I would go to the Yellow Mountain Tea House in Colorado Springs...

once again.

I just love that tea house.

Even though I have the same tea at home that they use there...

the Dim Sum and the ambiance just draws me back

(I ordered from the Yellow Mountain Tea House online

to get a large supply of Peppermint tea of my own).

I got into my car and started driving towards the tea house.

I took this last sunset shot just before the first major turn down the mountain road.

I arrived in Old Town Colorado Springs...

and parked just behind the tea house.

I got the same table I had my first time there...

...and of course...

I got the same tea.

I just love that particular tea.

I got my Dim Sum...

and I enjoyed each bite.

Part way through my meal...

a staff member asked me if I would like more tea.

I, of course...

got my free refill of tea.

I also picked up two more ounces of loose leaf peppermint tea as I was paying to leave.

I will be going back every so often...

as the staff members are just so nice...

and I feel so at home there.

----------

On my way home...

I stopped in at Walmart once again.

I picked up more ground beef...

 buttery mini croissants, and sharp cheddar cheese...

as I made mini beefer sliders yesterday...

and I loved them so much that I just had to get more of the same ingredients...

as I will make more of them tomorrow.

I also loved the blueberry pie from the other day.

--------------

I am so glad I moved to my home here in the mountains.

There are just so many magical days...

one after the other here...

and with even more adventures lying ahead.

Although I have already checked off most of my major bucket list items...

I still have many more of the minor ones to check off.

And so...

I live in a constant state of, both...

serenity...

and of hopeful anticipation.

This is a major dream fulfilled.

This is what retirement is supposed to be all about.

And...

I am living the dream...

and this is what life is supposed to be all about.
