High Tea Turnout

 The tea party was fun.

We made it a tea of words for my friend loves words and the party was also a birthday honor as well for two ladies. One was unable to attend last minute but we still had plenty even without pastries.

I put little magnetic words all over the table .

I found a book of antiquated poetry and read a piece by Yates.

This after we all spread out the fest before us.

Michelle had some wonderful fresh fruit

Trisha a fresh crisp salad with crasins and crunchiness in it.

Half and half for the tea was an added pleasure for those who use it.

Lisa joined in with some pinwheel sandwiches and malano cookies.

We had some Macadamia caramel chocolates.

Teas were served and some kosher grape juice.

After Yates Michelle said

"nobody speaks like that any more"

To which I gave the perfect gift for her.

A book on antiquated language.

She is an author so it would feed her soul.

I set out little books of poetry on friendship and we each read a few.

We all exchanged our Christmas gifts She received a necklace of words with lavender spacers,

Lisa a pink color she favors set and Trish with her copper frames received a cooper set made for her.

It was so kind the hospitality gifts were a nice box of tea, and a wonderful little magnetic note pad for my purse. Now I had been given one of these back at my birthday and I love it use it so sparingly. Now There is another and I can use it with abandon not preserve it so.

A wonderful book, a gift card to go to lunch all alone one day and people watch.

Funny cause my toes were cold and a sock of furry soft as snow but warm as a kitten came too. It was so nice to slip on. Now I wore my hat. it was so fun.When my lips were dry the chap stick that came with the cozy for my toesy was perfect.

Now I might just find myself curled up tonight reading my new book and taking notes while enjoying a cup of tea.

Our dear friend had a sad task of taking her daughters to airport for them to fly out to visit the paternal of their life. How hard that would be to do. She was able to come just as the others were pulling away. She with heavy heart stayed and was nurtured a while, while our children played together.

It was a long and late day Sunday. With Monday morn fast approaching there was little to no time to be.

 

The time of friendship came to be one of loving nurture and we held up our hearts and wounds to feel the touch of understanding and kindness. It was a good full day.
