Weekend

 

I took a quick photo Friday evening just as the girls and their moms were gathering. I'm mindful to know show faces online. But I'd taken this photo of my tea pots as I was waiting for the water to be ready to fill them. The old glass coffee carafe was used for Harney and Sons Indigo Punch tea, which has the Blue Pea Flower in it and makes the tea a dark blue/purple color! The girls loved seeing the beautiful color!

I picked it knowing the girls would love the color! Many of the moms loved it too, because it is a delicious flavored tea!

This now bi-annual tea event is growing more popular and this year we had 49 moms and daughters in attendance. This is also only for 5th grade and under girls and moms!

The girls had fun stations where they could get their hair braided or made fancy with sparkle spray, pot an flower, paint their nails, and make a bracelet!

So, so fun!

I brought my tea cups, plus the Kids Ministry leader brought paper cup tea cups for the littles.

This was the set we used.

Saturday, I chauffered my grand to a few events she was wanting to be at, and then came home to put my tea things away. I reorganized how I had them displayed.

My oldest daughter dropped by after work, to do some stuff with her chickens and ducks, and stayed for dinner. I made taco salad which we all love.

Yesterday, was rainy in the morning but cleared up by lunchtime and so we took my parents to Havre de Grace to have lunch. We like The Promenade Grille. There is only outdoor seating so we had to bundle up against the chilly wind blowing on the bay but it was lovely.

Here is a photo from their FB page.

This is what it was like yesterday - windy but sunny! Then we took the long way home. It was fun, and my parents love a good road trip, too!

I hope your weekend was lovely, friends.

Information Friday

 

Went to tea this morning with two friends, Jen and Ruth, and my mama. It was lovely. This is our favorite place, but it has new owners. Not everyone in our group enjoyed the food, but everything I had was delicious.

Today I am sharing information from Pepe Deluxe on Telegram. I have followed him for years on his various accounts. He was one who kept losing his IG and X accounts in 2020-2021 for sharing truth! And yes, it did end up not being disinformation or a conspiracy, as it has all been shown to be true!

Now I must dash! I am helping host a tea at our church for Sunday School girls and their mothers! We have 49 coming! Wow!

I've made scones and cream, I have lemon curd and jam, 44 tea cups, (5 attendees are babies!) creamer, sugar bowl, milk, sugar, stevia, and more to get to church! 

Have an awesome weekend!

Weekend

 

It was a beautiful weekend. The weather was fine, and Saturday was a day to celebrate a baby on it's way!

My dear friend Jen, who so many of you prayed for last fall, is going to be a grandma again! One of her daughters, whom I've known since her girlhood is due in late spring. Her family and church friends gave her an amazing shower!

I was honored to be invited and brought my gift of a homemade quilt. 

Sunday we went to lunch with two grands, Kyle, and some friends who had one of their grands with them. It was fun.

This week has been busy. I finished knitting a baby blanket, and I have been working to finish up our school year. 

My five year old local grand told me yesterday, "I'm the only one who can't read." I told her, "I can teach you!" and we started with short a and put a few sounds together. 

I never rush to teach a child to read. I want them to be ready, physiologically as well as desire. One of my own girls had the desire but just needed more time. We waited about six months and started again and she took right off! Rather than discourage her, we gave her mind and body time to be ready and when we did she had success!

But it always thrills my heart to hear a young one wanting to learn to read. It is my opinion that if a child can learn to read well, they can learn anything!

I hope you had a great weekend. I'd love to hear what you did! We are having a mini heat wave here in Mid April, but we know we can also still have a late freeze! Such is spring!

Information Friday

 Hello friends! I'm working on some changes to my blog, and while I've been MIA on the blog, I have been actively working behind the scenes.

The doomers, shills, fake maga, never trumpers have been screeching so much, besides the left, that their is a ton of noise out there.

BioClandestine has some good info and written in a way to explain what's going on!

Did you see that Trump ally Larry Ellison just bought CNN? He and his son outbid Netflix.

Be encouraged, friends. Don't listen to those who say Trump is insane, that he's going to commit genocide, etc. That is not who he is. He's a master negotiator. He applies strong pressure. Reminds nations of why they don't want to cross the US.

Pray for clarity in the noise and for the safety of Trump's administration. The enemy is fighting hard, but they are losing and that makes them even more dangerous.

Good Friday

I hate that my sin sent Jesus to the cross, but I'm so grateful to God for his plan for redemption. I am a recipient of His grace and mercy.

I pray you know Him as savior as well.

Friends and Family

Our dear friends are packing readying their trailer for the road as I write.  They've been hooked up to our electric and we've been having a wonderful time.  

What a blessing longtime friends are.  They KNOW you and LOVE you anyway!  {smile}

So thankful for them.  We'll see them in the late autumn likely, as we will be visiting Tim's mom and they live in the same town.

Back tomorrow with a recipe!

Just A Few Photos

These are unedited, but I thought I'd show you just a few photos from the kids' photo shoot with Lindsay.

Our goal with the photos was to show a bit of their personalities and their interests at this stage in each of their lives.  Can you tell what those interests are?
