Part 3 of Our Trip: Tea Leaves and Thyme

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Saturday morning, May 8, the ladies of the family got dolled up for a lovely ladies' luncheon and tea at Tea Leaves and Thyme in Woodstock, GA, where we have had tea in years past. This delicious meal is what was on our menu for Mother's Day Tea.

Chicken Salad

Scones: Almond, Strawberry, and Plain

Fruit: Cantaloupe,Watermelon, and Honeydew

Sandwiches: Pimento Cheese, Ham and Cheese, Cucumber

Dessert: Mint Brownies, Blueberry Cake, Lemon Squares, and Almond Bars

They had hats, gloves,

dresses, and jewelry available so that you could dress up and make a real party of it. It was such fun trying on hats and gloves and different necklaces and each of us chose a hat while Audrey Kate chose to wear it all. This little outing was Audrey Kate's first time to go to tea with all the girls, so we enjoyed watching her make happy memories of tea with her sweet mama, her lovely grandmama, her dear Aunt Randi Jane (I couldn't resist!) and her adored cousins, Susan Liana and Molly Elizabeth. It was also a Mother's Day gift for Grandmama's Mother's Day from the girls. It was really special spending that time together sampling different teas, lovely food, and enjoying being ladies while we talked and laughed and made lots of pictures.What lovely memories!

One of Molly Elizabeth's 76 pictures taken that day (!).

Molly Elizabeth and

Susan Liana apparently didn't get the same memo about what pose they would do...
