Tea Room

During the summers of my freshman, sophomore, and junior years I worked at a tea room. It was called (Tea in the Country) which was owned by a little old lady named Caroline and her daughter Jana. They opened the tea room in the summer of 2004. It is located in Yorktown Indiana, in a small little white building that was built almost one hundred years ago. I can still remember how I got my job working at the tea room.
It was in the summer, and I was about to be a freshman in high school. I had told my mother about the tea room before, because I had visited with my friends. My mother made a reservation at noon with her, my grandma, my mothers friend, and I. When we got there we sat right by a big window that was filled with flowers, and big hats of all colors. I can still smell cinnamon scones when I think about it. Jana was the first one that came to take our tea order. I ordered (Raspberry Chocolate Chai) while my mother and her friend ordered a white tea and my grandma ordered a black tea. When Jana left I was telling everyone at the table about the myths of teas. That Jana had told me the last time I visited.
Jana had come with our teas to the table, and was explaining information about teas. After the talk my grandmother said that I was trying to find a job. I remember the feeling that I had felt after my grandmother had said this, total embarrassment. Jana looked at me and said "We need someone to help out, Mom needs as much help as she can get." I shot up and asked "When do you want me?" Everyone looked very excited " How about tomorrow?" "Sounds good to me!" I said. That's how I came to work at a little tea room in Yorktown.
