I'm sure it will be very fun; the person who is organizing the tea, while quite an East Capitol kind of person, is wonderful. I'm ready to step up.<br /><br />As for being the neighborhood eccentric, well, no contest about that one! As if I could be anything else!!<br /><br />Thanks though for the support and encouragement.Reya Mellickerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13076092659507965666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-70442593125394624862010-08-09T16:42:30.828-04:002010-08-09T16:42:30.828-04:00P.S.

I have never been to a tea, but maybe it will be more fun than it sounds. At least tea cups and tea pots are really pretty, and maybe the people will be really interesting; who knows?<br /><br />I can imagine wearing a jaunty little hat. Flip flops, maybe. Jeans are OK anywhere, in my book, but it looks hot enough for a sundress there in your town. Have fun!Kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281288495129054688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-34185384367298156212010-08-09T12:22:56.027-04:002010-08-09T12:22:56.027-04:00I was going to say the same thing as NanU - don...I was going to say the same thing as NanU - don't fit in!

There's no way I can be one of the East Capitol people. It's a class thing. <br /><br />On Tennessee Avenue, we got together quite organically; someone would be on their front steps, another neighbor would come home from work. Next thing you know, there was a gathering. Here on East Capitol, one of my friends is planning a tea so I can meet some of the neighbors. Gawd. What do you wear to a tea? Hope jeans and t-shirt are ok cuz that's what I wear!Reya Mellickerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13076092659507965666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-67045248378829224882010-08-09T08:37:56.066-04:002010-08-09T08:37:56.066-04:00Now don't you be trying to fit in.

You just be you, comfortable in your place, expanding that place to include a few blocks, some neighbors, favorite walking spots. I can just see a little Reya-Funkified East Capitol. _They_ need _your_ breath of fresh air!<br />True, life has a different flavor there. If it isn't one you want to live with, you can always move. Eventually. But give it time first; see if the blend of you and it mellows to something delicious.NanUhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11596765792663269178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-38751714660560172672010-08-09T08:13:22.309-04:002010-08-09T08:13:22.309-04:00I love driving into and out of DC in August when r...I love driving into and out of DC in August when rush hour isn't such a rush.
