Mother & Daughter Tea this Saturday May 3rd, 2008 ~ 11am to Noon....

"Hands ever eager for deeds that are kind
Ready to help, to heal, or to bind.
Feet never tiring by night or by day,
of helping God's weaker ones
over life's way.
Eyes in whose depths always linger a smile.
Seeing through love only good things worthwhile.
Heart always ready with comfort for others.
All these are yours
best and dearest of Mothers."

Please join us for tea...



Don't forget to bring the essentials: tea cup & dolly or teddy! Your Hostess, Delicious Wishes will provide the tea (hot & cold), tea treats, and little party favors & a pretty little area where you can sip your tea with your little princess ~*~*~
In case of passing showers we will be set up under the awning ~ we look forward to seeing you!!
