Four Days of Birthday Celebrations

My hubby's biological odometer turned over another year this past week, and we spent four days celebrating his 74 years on the planet!  November 12th was the 'official' date, but extended birthday celebrations are always more fun.

On Monday I treated him to lunch at Royal Treat Tearoom in nearby Roseville.  As you can see in the outdoor pictures below, it was perfect weather to begin celebrating and I was happy the tearoom has reopened following their COVID shut-down. They've even did some renovations during their downtime.

A baker's rack filled with tea near the entrance of the retail area of the tearoom.

When we arrived at 1:00 o'clock the tearoom was just moderately occupied since they close at 2:00 o'clock and business was winding down for the day.  Another couple was seated near the front so Jerry wasn't the only man present [although being outnumbered by females never bothers him].

Cassidy was our cute and wonderful server.

The 'Birthday Boy'!

Jerry ordered English Breakfast tea and I ordered Lady Grey.  I loved my pretty Sevres porcelain teapot by Andrea Sadek [I peeked underneath].  Jerry's tea was served in a sturdy masculine brown teapot.

Royal Treat's scones are freshly made on site, and sold wholesale and retail under the name 'Just Delicious Scones'!  Scones are tearoom owner Jennifer's specialty.  They are Scottish-style, which means they're more cake-like [rather than flaky and biscuit-like] and they truly live up to their name.

My scone selection.   Any scones that go uneaten - which there hardly ever are - are wrapped for guests to take home.

This is what a forced smile looks like when I'm trying to conceal a mouthful of yummy food!

We both ordered the Bacon/Mushroom Quiche and it was yummy!

The framed tapestry [pictured below] hangs in the tearoom.  I photographed it because I have a tea-themed tapestry that has been safely tucked away in my linen closet for years waiting for a new life.  Since I have a handy hubby who enjoys woodworking, I think I may have found my tapestry's new life.  I don't want my framed tapestry to hold hats though.

When we were done eating Cassidy took a better picture of us.

After I paid the bill and we were getting ready to leave, Cassidy gave the 'birthday boy' a sugar cookie and included one for me too along with a tea-themed notepad.

The outing was the perfect beginning for a week of celebrating!
