“A simple cup of tea is far from a simple matter.”

Hello All,

“A simple cup of tea is far from a simple matter.”
Mary Lou Heiss, Story of Tea: A Cultural History and Drinking Guide

It's far from simple and oh so much fun! We had our Tea Party today with faux tea (apple juice in tea pots), pretzels, strawberries, cookies and some bite size pieces of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts. Lovely, charming and not too high-brow all at the same time. We talked about our manners including putting our napkin in our lap, passing the food around, taking only what you touch, please and thank you and discussing subjects that only polite company would discuss as in: "what will you spend your weekend doing?" "What is your favorite color and why?" 

We had a full discourse on activities of the day today; will it be painting, bicycle riding, use of color crayons to express ourselves or a rousing jaunt around the grounds?  And the most important part lots of laughs, funny moments and more.
Life is good...Check out our quilt! It's growing!


Hugs to you,
Miss Sue
