afternoon tea

A friend and I have recently become enamored of afternoon tea. We visited the Tea Kettle Cafe in Old Town Spring last week and it was lovely! The little sandwiches, the little desserts, the AWESOME rose and bergamot tea were so much fun.

We’re looking to hit up another afternoon tea tomorrow, before I go back to school. Where do you recommend? The St. Regis and Hotel Granduca are a little out of the price range, so reasonable would be good. 🙂

Thanks!

Mama cat and kitten(s) in my attic – PLEASE HELP

About 10 last night, my actual kitten was sitting on the dresser and was staring at the upper room corner. I turned off my sleep story and there is a kitten in my attic. Clearly a tiny one.

I went up and put in food and water. Refed and watered this morning before work.

I can see Mama – she’s feral, and terrified, and hissy, and maybe hurt – but I cannot see kitten.

I can’t get to them … I’m five-ten and 160, and Mama is in a bed of insulation and who knows where the kitten is.

Who do I call to help out? I cannot let these babies die. I’ve called SPCA and Harris County Animal Control, no dice. I called Vexcon in Shreveport to see if they have a humane referral here, and they do not. I’m on the phone with Texas Parks & Wildlife right now. I cannot let these babies die.

ISO lawn service in NW Houston

Hi! This is a little more than a regular “I need someone to mow” post.

I have a house I was out of for several months last year. My ex did not mow the entire time. It is … not good.

I’m looking for a service to do an initial big ole mow, then (if they do) a monthly maintenance. I’ll need a quote on the up-front because it’s a large job.

Might someone be able to refer me to a service you like?

Thanks!
