So, in between supervising two girls making bread (8 loaves total), chatting online with my sister in Alaska, answering the phone, downloading pictures, chasing three younger children to the great outdoors to play. . . I'm blogging.
One of the dear ladies from church invited the girls and me for tea. She also invited Carol and Becky Kauffman. Becky is just a year older than Emelyne and a good friend to all the girls.
Brenda was our hostess. She created a tea with several courses. We began with chilled strawberry soup and crispy dainties she'd make from bread and flour tortillas. Then we moved on to wee sandwiches and veggies and layered jello salad. The meal finished off with 4 different kinds of scones, Devonshire cream, strawberry and lemon curd, shortbread and of course, tea. Choices for tea were Mint Medley or Constant Comment.
When we arrived Brenda had the girls draw numbers. Whoever chose #1 got first pick of Brenda's hats to wear for tea.
We had a lovely time!!

Elsa took her own hat, one Esther wore in a cousin's wedding several years ago.

Emelyne loves to pose for pictures!!
The other Carol. And yes, it was highly confusing to have two Carols there!
Second course goodies!!

Somehow, girls and tea just go together.

I'm feeling a little jealous that of you. I don't get to do tea parties.
Reminds me of the one that you and Nettie had down here many years ago.
Okay, I need to go to sleep. That would be "I'm feeling a little jealous that you have girls".
Looks like heaps of fun, Carol. Can't wait to see you again! It won't be long! :)
