Tea party alfresco!

Tea party alfresco!

“Tea for two, plus me and you,” says Little Bird

Tea party getting started

Big Papa and Maggie agree, “Let’s get this party started!”‘

Maggie is intrigued, “Are we having catnip teacakes to go with?”

A Loving Recipe for a Perfect Cup of Tea
1 Willing friend who loves to sit and share
1 Grateful heart to have a friend that cares
1 Beautiful garden to show us God is near
Many wonderful memories of times shared throughout the years
Lots of smiles and laughter to brighten up our days
Many prayers that we prayed for each other along the way

I’m so blessed to have a friend like you to share in everything I do. For one special friend sharing a special cup of tea truly makes this a perfect recipe.

Happy Summertime!

Take the road less traveled, Beth

« Birthday on Bainbridge
Life is a lot like mountaineering »

Some might fend off a mid-life crisis by leaving the comforts of their corporate salary to jet off to a deserted island. Others might buy a Jaguar. I’ve chosen to dive head-long into my 50s and beyond by becoming a first-time parent. At any given moment you might find me holding a camera, a spade, a spatula or a suitcase. Or my little girl's hand. Adopted from Armenia, she puts the Pampers and Paklava into my life.
