I am joining Bleubeard and Elizabeth for this week's T Stands For challenge found here.
This is my summation of the past week:
Teddy will be serving double duty as my main image plus as my "T-Day ticket" for my T-Day posts for awhile.
Teddy drank the Peppermint Chocolate Tea sample that was included in this catalog, and said it was delicious.
Weather-wise, it continues to be tolerable considering it's Winter. We might get some snow Tuesday night into Wednesday that is just enough to make the roads slick and cause problems, but hopefully not. Then by Saturday (01/11), it's supposed to get up to 56 F (13.3 C), which is above normal in Connecticut for this time of year, but I'll take it!
This past week, I got to attend a Quinnipiac University Bobcats men's ice hockey game versus the Harvard Crimson. I haven't been to an ice hockey game in a long time, so it was fun to see, and it wasn't too cold in the seats. The Bobcats won, 6 to 1. Toward the end of the game, the Harvard team became poor sports / sore losers, and started a few fights. Then, with only about 10 or 20 seconds left, one of their players decked one of our players, flipping him onto the ice, but the referee didn't see it. The fans did, and started booing. Other than that, the game had been enjoyable to watch and cheer on.
local news: Speaking of Quinnipiac University, this past week, a team of students there got to examine one of the possible Revolutionary War Soldier skeletons that was found in Ridgefield, Connecticut at the beginning of December 2019. news article

Over the past week, we watched the following movies:
sci-fi movies:
Passengers (2016) (DVD) good
Geostorm (2017) (DVD) good thriller, but requires some suspension of disbelief
Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017) (DVD) okay, longer than necessary
Maze Runner: The Death Cure (2018) (DVD) okay, had some implausibilities
action / thriller movies:
King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017) (DVD) very good
211 (2018) (DVD) good, action packed, but some gory scenes
Speed Kills (2018) (DVD) okay. main character's (played by John Travolta) actions didn't make me care about him, and his plastic looking face (due to too many plastic surgeries?) was a distraction.
The Vanishing (Keepers, original title) (2018) (DVD) turned off. There should be a special rating for movies that have "home invasion" type brutality in them so they can be avoided by those who don't like that.
comedy movies:
A Million Ways to Die in the West (2014) (DVD) funny
Game Night (2018) (DVD) very funny

You got a lot done in your week. Nice pic of Teddy, enjoy your peppermint chocolate tea. Happy T Day, Valerie
Guess with Happiness Teddy does not mind double duty :-)
Weather-wise warm here, too, but what?! I clicked your link and this is what I got:
"Our European visitors are important to us.

Maze Runner sounded tempting, but when just OK, I skip that!
A happy T-day to you.
I'm not a big fan of peppermint, but I do love the Girl Scout Thin Mint cookies. This tea sounds like thin mints in a cup. We had a few snow flurries on Monday. Didn't amount to anything and that's fine by me. I hope the predictions for Wed. fizzle, too, as Himself has an appointment in the morning. And I'm looking forward to the temps. this weekend. The Boston station I listen to said 60 degrees. That's like lunch in the sun room weather. Here's hoping. 🤞 Happy T Day
...how about just a cup of hot Chocolate?
We always love Teddy and he has not only become YOUR spokes bear, he's also become the spokes bear for T Tuesday, too. So glad he liked the tea. It sounds delicious to me.
I'm always in awe of your digital art and you watched a LOT of movies. I don't have any, so I am sure it was enjoyable watching them.
Thanks go to Teddy for sharing his tea and for your week in review for T this Tuesday. I would LOVE to learn even more about those old soldiers, too.
Teddy always chooses interesting teas and peppermint chocolate is one I would like to try too 😁. I hope you don't get too much snow and how wonderful to see ice hockey match - such fun! I'm loving your new year's eve postcards and that looks like a great selection of movies too. Happy T Day wishes! Hugs, Jo x
Teddy looks quite comfy:) I have had a chocolate tea- different brand and I do like it when you want a light taste and not as heavy as hot chocolate. The addition of mint sounds good too. Happy T day!
Peppermint tea sounds inviting, love Teddy holding it.
Thanks for the movie reviews, I've been interested in a few of them, but won't wast me time now. LOL!
Happy T-day
Passengers sounds like something I'd like. I enjoyed Valerian. I'll be checking out the others, thx!
Happy T Tuesday
Peppermint chocolate tea sounds delicious. we are warm here too for January-hope it stays that way too haha Happy T wishes Kathy
You have had another busy week Anne. Teddy has chosen a lovely flavour for your drink today it sounds really refreshing.
Happy T day wishes.

The Republic of Tea catalog is always a favorite of mine for browsing despite my only copy being several years old. Mint and chocolate sound like a great combination although I haven't tried it in a tea. I think I will have to get a new copy so I can give it a try.
Happy Tea Day,
Kate
Teddy looks so cute :)
I haven't tried peppermint tea - but now you've mentioned tea, I think I will go and make a cup!
All the best Jan
Busy week, Anne. I'm glad your team won, depsite the poor spotsmanship on the part of the Harvard team.
Happy T-day! Eileen xx
I don't think that was the sample in my brochure. And I got a new one today. I haven't looked at it yet. Quinnipiac is a good hockey team. Maine played them earlier this year. The booing might have been at the refs. I wouldn't want that job as the fans never like them. And I think all teams have their moments of fighting. But enough of that. I think you had fun. That is the most important thing. I hope it was a wonderful T day and did Teddy share the chocolate peppermint T with you? Hugs-Erika
Mint - yes, chocolate- yes but still not drinking tea - wish I could now with a flavour like this! Thanks for the film reviews- one of hubby's favourites there! Belated Happy T Day, Chrisx
The peppermint chocolate tea sounds wonderful! My favorite is Bigelow I Love Lemon Tea. I have not been to an ice hockey game in many years but remember that it was fast moving and exciting.
