Happy Blog-Anniversary to me!
I love blogging and visiting all kinds of blogs, but mine has been stagnant
for a while. On my anniversary, it's the perfect time to get going again.
Often called "lucky 7", seven "means you're literally winning in life".
On the internet I read, "You're on the right path, keep going forward
in the direction you're heading.
in the direction you're heading.
So, onward and upward!
This is my mother!
I started the blog on Mother's 80th birthday,
with my baby grandson on my lap. He's
now a smart 2nd-grader with a sweet little
3-year old sister, and I'm still their granny-nanny!

She's celebrating her 87th birthday now.
It's wonderful that I still have her, after a couple
difficult years. She's getting older and has some
health issues and "wear and tear".
But she's had a marvelous birthday with
lots of family visits, parties, luncheons,
showers of love, cards and gifts.
She looks great, and knows how loved she is!
I told you, when I was little, I thought she was
Betty Crocker, the lady on the cake mix box!
I wrote about that in January 2013.
So here are some pretty teacups and pots!

I'm thankful for a loving mother, who loves the
Lord and is a great encouragement to me!
We still sing,"Does Jesus Care" together every day!
I've been celebrating all month with tea parties with Miss Emilie, my darling 3 year old granddaughter. I am daily featuring different cups and teas. Lots of fun tea facts and quotes!
I hope you enjoy my selection. Some are for sale in my online Etsy shop .
Some are just my own personal favorites.

Some things I learned about tea this month
- 4 major types of tea, black, green and white tea, are all from the same plant,
- the way the leaves are treated, processed makes the different types of teas
- Charleston Tea Plantation, S.C. is the only place tea is grown in the continental U.S. ( the on mainland, some tea is grown in Hawaii)
- Darjeeling is the "Champagne of tea"

Forget about the world a bit,
Ignore the things I have to do
And just enjoy a cup or two.
