Ladies Tea at Northlake


Today over 100 ladies gathered in the honored tradition of high tea. Actually when we got there we learned a little history of the name high tea and low tea. Originally low tea was named such because it was served on lower tables. Eventually traditions changed and high tea came to refer to upper class people and low tea to lower class people. So our tea today was changed to just medium tea. Each table hostess decorated their own table. I was honored to be able to use Mom's beautiful dishes that brought back many memories of happy family dinners.
From across the table we could see Theo, Linda, Gabby and Rosie at their table with Gabby and Rosie's grandmother. Unfortunately we didn't get to visit with them much. We will go visit Milton and Theo tomorrow instead.

Laura, Mom and I shared a table with Sharon, Jean and Sharon's daughter Samantha (Sam). Unfortuately Teresa had to work.   We discovered Sharon and Jean had lived 10 years in Moscow Idaho so Mom and they had great fun reminising about that area.


The menu was finger sandwiches and scones followed by cookies and candies. All in all it was a fun time.

Getting ready!












Friday night the Peru team is having a fundraiser that is live music, desserts, and a silent auction.  I have been gathering some collections to auction and have spent most of the day wrapping and describing them.  If you are within traveling distance feel free to stop by and enjoy the fun.  

Other exciting news is we bought a new dishwasher Monday and my wonderful husband installed it yesterday.  Our first load was a sucess.  I am soooooooo happy to get rid of the old ugly undepenable one.   Now we even have a big box for David to play in if we can stand storing it until he comes next week.  

Laura and Reuben and hopefully Rikki are coming for dinner tonight for our weekly Wednesday night dinner.  Laura does laundry and we catch up on visiting.  We are not sure if Rikki can come tonight as she may be working late.
