Family ..Celebrating Life, and Water

Last weekend we had a family reunion. What a great time! My Mom is the only one of 10 siblings who is still with us. There were about 100 who spent time together. We had lots of time for visiting, good food, a Sunday morning service, swimming, etc.


One of our family, Jodi King, is a music artist who also has a passion for various missions, local and abroad. A very sweet and talented young lady, she has come up with a special blend of tea which is used as a fund raising tool for Lifewater Canada. (The tea is delicious!). Jodi led our worship service on Sunday and performed some of her own music.


Our committee decided that our family should try to raise funds for a well in Liberia, Africa, and we did. The response was very good, so there will be several hundred Liberians enjoying fresh water soon, preventing disease,
and maybe enjoying their own cup of tea!

Wonderful family reunion you had! I came over from Amongst the Oaks after reading your comment about your experience on the logging road. Sound like something my dad would have done! We didn't have a trailer, but we found ourselves on a narrow logging road with a logging truck coming the other way one time. Aaack! My dad was always taking us off the beaten path, either by car or by hiking.

Victoria…and Me

To see larger photos, click to enlarge.. The May-June 2009 Victoria magazine is one of my favorites, featuring blue and white... one of the open pages with an article on linens...it just happens that I have one of the patterns... There is also a feature on blue and white Wedgewood ... I have photographed some of my pieces alongside the article... ....here is my interpretation of blue and white... As a nod to the current issue of Victoria, which features some tea tables in green, I have  set out my own little tea table, with some scones... ...or perhaps you'd like to help yourself to a chocolate-cherry morsel? On this spring day, I am joining in with : Celebrate Spring http://blissfulrhythm.blogspot.com/ Mary's Mosaic Monday, on whose blog you will see some lovely snowdrops: http://dearlittleredhouse.blogspot.com/2011/03/mosaic-monday-snowdrops.html Also,   Sandi is having a special tea party today, so be sure to go over there and enjoy her lovely blog
