Day 36 ~ Tea & Friends

10:15 AM ~ Today is beginning wonderfully...I feel nearly 100%. Seems amazing after all this time!

Yesterday, I had a slow start, but by 10:30 AM I seemed to be moving about fine. :-) I took it easy and had fun preparing for the Moms Night Out (for our homeschool support group). Tiffani made Pina Colada Muffins and Brownies (with and without Peppermint Cream Cheese frosting). I'll post the recipes in a different post. The Muffins were a huge hit! No flour or sugar! And she helped me decorate and plate the goodies.

As it was a "Welcome" Tea for our new members, I made a pot of Apple Cinnamon and set out a pot of hot water and my tea basket & strainers. We also had Brie, Grapes, Crackers, Cream Cheese & Pomegranate Salsa on little toasts, and mozzarella/tomato salad. And dates & flowers, from Futterman Farm...thank you, Gale!

I had to cancel last month's MNO, which had over 25 moms RSVP'd. Tonight we totalled seven. Each month is different. It was a beautiful and moving evening. Lots of sharing, remembering, prayer and encouragement. I was so blessed to be in the company of Debbi, Marcie, Gale, Andrea, Jeanette, and Lezanne. Three new home educating mamas, three veterans, and one who came to bless and encourage since she has graduated all of her children.

I love being amongst women who love their husbands and their children.
Who love being wives and mothers.
Who love watching their children grow
into whom they've been created to become.
Who love sharing what the Lord is doing in their lives...
