Last night I went on a side quest to attend a sunset tea party.

Not just any sunset tea party.

This was a sunset tea party in Upside Down Land.

Am I about to tell you a popping fiction story? I’ll leave that to you to decide.

When I arrived, I nearly entered the wrong portal. A lovely gentlemen corrected my course, explaining that I had to travel through Upside Down Land to be admitted to the tea party.

With the lovely gentleman as my tour guide we traveled through Upside Down Land, with he narrating each spectacle we came across. It was a wild, twisty, tangled journey when at last we exited into the magical outdoors of Upside Down Land.

I was greeted by the most stunning scene. A long table garnished with delicious treats. Chocolate covered strawberries, homemade scones, cucumber sandwiches, grapes, along with an abundance of tea choices.

The table must have been decorated by the fairies who live in Upside Down Land. They decorated with fairy lights, antique typewriters, fairy books, candles, and antique books. Along with the most elegant collection of tea cups and saucers.

The soft voices of the guests hung in the slightly cool and refreshing air, held in place by sweet-sounding music. Those of us who didn’t know one another, got to know one another. Those of us who did, caught up with one another.

A few of us shared poetry, and one guest shared a funny sibling story. When the time came to depart Upside Down Land and the tea party, hugs were shared and goodbyes were spoken. Two lovely fairies escorted me to my motor car.

As I drove away, I reflected on the extraordinary nature of this night. I was treated like a queen. In fact, all guests were treated like royalty. Nothing was spared in creating this magical environment for all of us be as children. I thought, I’m a middle-aged freaking woman, and I just went to a sunset tea party.

And I’m damn well going to do this again!
