Then a little brutishness won't be noticed. ;<) Of course, we will have to be quick about it, won't we? Since you guys are leaving soon. I'll be watching your blog for updates. Praying for you both, too.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Jennie, <BR/> Our moms are right, "There is nothing like a daughter." (Of course, I am sure there is nothing like a son.) Still... <BR/><BR/>You have so much fun ahead of you: tea parties and lip gloss, party dresses and shoe shopping. Heaven! Ava is such an answer to prayer. I am so delighted with her precious little self. Kiss her for me. I miss you. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Studio wellspring, <BR/> Let's make a date for tea at the Empress: you, Lil' Peach, Sloane and me. We'll all say, "Who cares?" to current fashion and take tea in our most gorgeous, flower-trimmed, large-brimmed hats. I know it will have to be some time from now so Peach can enjoy it, too. That's fine, it gives me something to look forward, too. Sing a song to Lil' Peach from me today, please. Something cheerful with a snappy beat, if you wouldn't mind. xo<BR/><BR/><BR/>Laura, <BR/> You are such a kind and thoughtful friend. We did have a happy anniversary, thanks. And, thank you so much for your description of my blog. That is what I hope and pray it will be. Love you. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Jaime, <BR/> Start saving, and please plan on joining Studio wellspring, me, and our girls for a fancy tea party in a few years. Mean time, I would love to get back to Victoria, explore some more, and meet you. Our trip there was one of the loveliest I have ever taken. Lucky you to live in such a gorgeous place. <BR/><BR/>Your blog is such a treasure, mostly for your wise, sweet spirit and your amazing writing, but also for the gorgous pictures of all the places you love. I would like to walk up your mountain with you some day. Till then... blessings, my friend. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Tangobaby, <BR/> Oh, you do know how to tempt a girl. Let's see... What's first, Paris or San Fransisco? Either way, don't we have a date to meet and play? I believe make up, great food, and lots of laughter is on the agenda. Right? Wish it were next week.

This is just the best story and Sloane is too lovely for words. But rose tea probably only tastes delicious when Sloane makes it.<BR/><BR/>Someday you can take Sloan out for a fancy tea for her turn. If you come to SF, we can all go to tea at the Ritz-Carlton, my treat!tangobabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01288974184200212536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355157437969935487.post-15056597264236771112008-06-02T23:47:00.000-05:002008-06-02T23:47:00.000-05:00Hi Relyn...I will try this again and see if it goe...Hi Relyn...I will try this again and see if it goes through.<BR/><BR/>I was so happy to find your blog, and felt like I had come home when I found this post. I have lived in Victoria for 8 years now and high tea at the Empress has always been a bit of a mystery to me. Why is it so expensive just to get a cup of flavoured water and some tiny sandwiches? <BR/>Personally, I think the sweet little *tey* party you had with your daughter way surpasses what the Empress could have given you...especially if you throw in some chocolate chip cookies!<BR/><BR/>But....if you ever visit Victoria again, I would be delighted to go to the Empress with you and have high tea..if you would still like to go. I better start saving my pennies!<BR/><BR/>Much love xoJaimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04803308252202460126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355157437969935487.post-82058617784004065152008-06-01T19:42:00.000-05:002008-06-01T19:42:00.000-05:00How wonderful!

I told him he was not refined enough to join a tea party!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
