Memories flowed as freely as the tea, champagne and laughs Saturday in the Cascade Lounge at Loews Ventana Canyon Resort, 7000 N. Resort Drive, as 12 people gathered for Holiday Tea.
The four-course tea service, featuring creations by Chef Rohan Wirasinha, was a first for 13-year-old Bonnie Diamond, who attended the tea with her mother, sisters and other relatives and close family friends, all females.
"We should do this a lot more," she quipped as the friends and family swapped stories and discussed movies, books, boyfriends and life.
The group came to tea to celebrate Diane Hicks' Christmas birthday, the New Year and old times, something a few of those at the table started years ago in high school, when they brought their mothers. Now, with their daughters in tow, the tradition continues.
