The ladies thoughtfully presented me with an unexpected keepsake and a thank-you for the tea—a sporty hat with the word “Harley” bejeweled on the crown.
As their premier tea experience was ending, I couldn’t resist the temptation to hop on a Harley and imagine myself flying down the highway with the wind in my face. Escaping the tearoom still wearing my pink tea apron and new hat, I maneuvered myself onto the seat of a magnificent turquoise cycle and posed for a “keeper” photo, which I will always cherish.
I hope the ladies enjoyed their teatime trek. Perhaps the experience inspired the Ladies of Harley to take their bikes for a jaunt to yet another tearoom, just as I may vicariously take to the open road atop a motorcycle someday—but with my electric tea kettle, china teapot, and favorite cup and saucer as traveling companions!
