In our effort to have a mini-adventure on the first Friday of every month in 2012, today Summer and I met in Dixon, California, to try out a tea shop. Dixon is a farming community off of Interstate 80, about halfway between Summer's home in Oakland and my home in Lincoln. After a good workout at the gym this morning, I showered and then set off to meet Summer.
Linde Lane Tea Room is absolutely darling. We had a marvelous time, sitting for a couple of hours, chatting, sipping tea. I took pictures, of course, because everything was done beautifully and the food was delicious. So without further ado, here are my pictures...

| They don't do "matchy-matchy" tea services, which I found charming. |
 |
| Our table. |
 |
| Across from us, a chess table. |
 |
| I had caramel tea--and I love the idea of using dog ID tags to ID the flavor! |
 |
| Italian Wedding Soup...so yummy. |
 |
| Sorbet and a cookie. |
 |
I had the Duchess Tea--less food than the Queen Tea, which is great for a
woman who is watching calories (guess who's going LIGHT for dinner
tonight?). |
 |
| Triple Berry Jam and clotted cream. |
 |
| Summer |
 |
| Yours Truly being cheesy. |
 |
| Is this fabulous, or what? |
 |
| I kind of want to make something like this now. |
Linde Lane was absolutely charming, and I love this, from their web site:
You will notice that at Linde Lane, we DO leave our crust on our tea sandwiches. We do this to conserve waste out of respect for those who are less fortunate.
We had a marvelous time and I'd love to go back someday.

Wow - just wow to that tea cup table. I've never seen anything like that! Love it. It sounds like a lovely place to visit. I know my daughters would love it.
