Party Time!

It's time for Vee's Note Card Party!
On the third Wednesday of each month we meet at
A Haven For Vee for party time.

We select four photographs that we think would make a nice set of note cards
and we share them.


Here are my four:

Wishing YOU well and much joy!

Thank you, Vee!

Hoppy Spring!

It's time for some tea and for Vee's Note Card Party.

I'm going to take a trip back in time and share some of my posts

celebrating Spring and Easter. 

Rules of Chocolate Easter Eggs:

1. If you get melted chocolate all over your hands, you're eating too slowly.

2. Chocolate covered raisins, cherries, orange slices, and strawberries all count as fruit,

so eat as many as you want.

3. Diet tip: Eat an Easter Egg before each meal.

It'll take the edge off your appetite, and that way you'll eat less.

4. If you can't eat all your chocolate, it will keep in the freezer.

But if you can't eat all your chocolate, what is wrong with you? 

Wishing YOU well, much joy, a wonderful cup of tea, and a Happy Easter!

Vee, thank you for hosting the Note Card Party each month.

A big thank you to our tea party hosts:

We pick four images that have been posted on our blogs

 that we think would make a good Note Card

and share them.

Some green to celebrate St. Patrick's Day.

Tea is always a good subject for a Note Card.

Vee's Note Card Party Time!

We get to pick 4 images from our blog that we think would make good note cards.

I think we are all looking forward to spring.

With that in mind, here are my four Note Cards.
The first three are from recent blog posts.

And last, but not least, from a Wednesday Wisdom post in 2013:

A big thank you to Vee for hosting the Note Card Party.

Wishing YOU well and much joy!

I hope the sun is shining on you today! 

Soups On!

or, in this case

Food's On the Note Card Party Table.

It's time for Vee's  Note Card Party.

Vee is celebrating food today and I decided to go along with her.

This delicious fruit tart was my birthday cake one year.

I used to have veggies delivered straight to my door.

This was one of the first deliveries.

The cupcakes are from one of my god-daughter's wedding showers.

His and hers shower -- fun -- the shower and the strawberry cupcakes.

Last, this was a low tea held at the museum.

It was fun to take a look back on food at Twisty Lane.

Thank you, Vee.

Wishing you well and much joy!

In The Spirit of The Season

It's time for Vee's Notecard Party.
Let's celebrate Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

Wishing all of YOU well and much joy!

Note Card Party!

I missed Vee's Note Card Party last month.
I had a cold and forgot all about the party.
But I was forgetting about almost everything.
I looked back at the month of September to see what I missed!

The end of summer.

Mina -- keeping Mummy's place on the sofa all safe and warm.

McHugh Tea -- the first day I could really enjoy tasting.

As long as I was curled up on the couch with kitties, I put the time to good use.
Crochet Christmas Wreath hot pads.

That's how I spent my time while I had a cold.

A big thank you to Vee for hosting the Note Card Party.

Wishing YOU well and much joy!

Note Card Party!

I've been missing the Note Card Party this summer and

I'm happy to be back!

Tea is always a good subject for Note Cards.

I thought I'd add a little tea humor.

This is part of a post by Regena Rafelson at TChing.

Some Important Truths About Tea.

3. People who drink tea mind their manners and avoid coarse language.

Who the %&#@ came up with that @$&* idea?

6. Males, left alone in a room with a tea cozy, will inevitably try it on.

You don't really want to know the dirty truth about this one.

A big thank you to Vee for hosting one my favorite parties.

Wishing YOU well and much joy!

Notecard Party!

It's time for one of my favorite Blogland Parties:

Vee's NoteCard Party.





Once a month we all get together with four photos from our blog that we think would make a good Note Card. 
This time of year, before it gets too hot and humid, I spend a lot of time in the Japanese Garden at Hermann Park. Here are some of the images I've shared recently of this very special space.

The Kiss of the sun for pardon,

The song of the birds for mirth,

One is nearer God's heart in a garden

Than anywhere else on earth.

~Dorothy Frances Gurney

"In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous."

 ~Aristotle

"Japanese gardens ask that you go beyond the garden spiritually,

 that you look at the garden not merely as an object 

but also as a path into the realms of spirit."
— Makoto Ooka in The Temple in the House by Anthony Lawlor

"When a garden is used as a place to pause for thought, 

that is when a Zen garden comes to life. 

When you contemplate a garden like this it will form a lasting impression on your heart."
— Muso Soseki in The Temple in the House by Anthony Lawlor

Wishing YOU well and much joy!

Decisions, Decisions!

Note Card Party: Easter

It's time for one of my favorite Blog Land Parties:
Vee's Notecard Party.

We need to pick 4 photos that have been shown previously on our blog
that we think would make good notecards.

I decided to celebrate Spring and Easter.

The first three are from an Easter Tea I shared last year.

Rules of Chocolate Easter Eggs:

1. If you get melted chocolate all over your hands, you're eating too slowly.

2. Chocolate covered raisins, cherries, orange slices, and strawberries all count as fruit,

so eat as many as you want.

3. Diet tip: Eat an Easter Egg before each meal.

It'll take the edge off your appetite, and that way you'll eat less.

4. If you can't eat all your chocolate, it will keep in the freezer.

But if you can't eat all your chocolate, what is wrong with you? 

Wishing YOU well and much joy! Happy Spring!
