If wishes were fishes, the Cúpla Sisters  would live no further apart than next door. As it is, time and commitments make even sharing a cup of tea an all too rare occasion. Thank goodness for unlimited phone minutes. Recently we shared a cup of tea in a most fun fashion.

In September, Jumble Coffee Company opened a coffee cafe in a circa 1845 schoolhouse located in Asbury, Iowa. The building is believed to be the oldest standing school in Iowa.

In addition to a thoughtful rehab  of the school, the owners built a charming tree house on the property. It has been way too many years since we enjoyed refreshments in a tree house and could not resist the invitation.

I have been asking for a potting shed for twenty years but after enjoying tea in the tree house, I many amend my request and ask for a tree house instead.
