Would You Like To Come Over For Tea?



       
Entry with Flags.  We also had an Australian Flag, but it blew up in wind
 I know that it is summer now, but I want to remember all the lovely things I did this Spring.  All Fall and winter I was very busy getting my garden ready for the Daughters of the British Empire, Union Jack Chapter Tea and Garden Party on March 28.  Denise Pemperton and I potted up many plants for sale and we all baked about 300 scones.  This was a fund raiser for the British Home and Salvation Army                                                                                                                                              We had help from Karen Horton, Gail Reiley, Elisa Lawrance, Faye Gonzalez, Barbara Buchanan, Susie Barker, Gary Lyons, Paul Ayraud and Ryan Newberry who are not actually Union Jack members, but enjoy helping us for some crazy reason.

 It was a lovely day!
