Following in Her Son’s Footsteps

Last summer our Grandson went on a short term missions trip to Latvia, where they taught English.  He loved the people, and the experience was very good for him. Recently, there was an opportunity for 3 people to fill in on another trip, to Portugal. Our daughter followed in her son’s steps, and  volunteered. Here she is, teaching! Her normal work is in a totally different field, so this is new to her. I know she is doing a good job.

I visited the blog link and left a message. What a wonderful opportunity for your daughter and team and what a blessing for the folks in Portugal. I remember when you grandson was on his mission trip last year. You must be very proud of them both, Millie.

Both mom and son are blessings to all

Victoria…and Me

Image
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
