The Teahouse was owned by Ginger Arnold for several years
including some beyond her stay in Lavina.
It was the focal point for a number of parties, get-togethers, celebrations and events
besides being a place for brainstorming and planning.
Leo and I left its doorstep en route to New York City on June 3, 2002.
It was home for good food, good times, and strong coffee (Ginger's) for a few short years.
The Teahouse was also the center of a standoff between Ginger and Lester Krause
over some offensive Yellow Dock Root. You will have to read the story in the book.
(I have been corrected, the culprit was burdock.)
(Hepialus humuli, burdock)
