In which three friends (myself, and friends Theresa and Mary Pat) enjoy a front porch herbal tea party whilst discussing the value of deep female friendships. The joy! The joshing! The temptation to be jealous! We laugh a lot, we cry a little, we enjoy some delicious snacks (see one of them below). You don't want to miss this one!

Easy snack to savor with your "sistas": spread Costco's cream cheese and cranberry/jalapeno dip on thinly sliced white bread, lightly toasted and cut into thirds. Even better-serve this on Pepperidge Farms "Harvest Wheat" crackers. Top with very thinly sliced cucumbers. Yum!
