I bedecked the girls in their new frocks and joined about 75 others at our church's annual Mother/Daughter Tea. The food was good and the girls, who've been practicing a lot on their tea party table from Sippican Cottage, did a great job with pinkies up and few spills. The guest speaker, a lady known as 'The Creature Teacher,' brought sugar gliders, a ball python, a chinchilla and rabbit for the girls. We left as the python was being brought out, not from ophidiophobia, but because Annie was 2 hours past tired and Mary Jo was quite understanding.
I love this little gathering and this is the third time I've taken the girls out for it. Every time it gets better and better.

Hello Ruth Anne,
Thank you for visiting my blog and leaving your comment!
God bless you and your family!
I love the picture conjured in my mind.
A couple years ago, my mom gave all the grandkids these wonderful tea sets that she'd gotten from overseas. My son was touched that he--the only boy--got one, too, and he loves it.
I like to picture him sharing high tea with his own son and daughter someday.
Could you post a picture of the tea table sometime? You did promise.
Hi, Sister: I hope you come back again.
Reader: Tea is not just a girly drink.
Kathie: Did I promise?? Oh, well. I have to figure out the 'new' camera still. We didn't even take it out at the beach. *Sigh*
Yes, you did promise. I'd love to see the table, with the tea party guests around as well. Though, at your leisure, of course.
Must. Have. Pictures.
