44th Teapot and Tea Things Tuesday

In youth we learn: in age we understand.

Marie Von Ebner-Eschenbach

 Is There Really a Human Race Lyrics

Jamie Lee Curtis

“Is there really a human race?

Is it going on now all over the place?

When did it start?

Who said, “Ready, Set, Go”?

Did it start on my birthday?

I really must know.

Do I warm up and stretch?

Do I practice and train?

Do I get my own coach?

Do I get my own lane?

Do I race in the snow?

Do I race in a twister?

Am I racing my friends?

Am I racing my sister?

If the race is a relay, is Dad on my team:

And his dad and his dad? You know what I mean.

Is the race like a loop or an obstacle course?

Am I a jockey, or am I a horse?

Is there pushing and shoving to get to the lead?

If the race is unfair, will I succeed?

Do some of us win? Do some of us lose?

Is winning or losing something I choose?

Why am I racing? What am I winning?

Does all of my racing keep the world spinning?

If I get off track when I take the wrong turn,

Do I make my way back from mistakes? Do I learn?

Is it a sprint? A dash to the end?

Am I aware of the time that I spend?

And why do I do it, this zillion yard dash?

If we don’t help each other we’re all going to CRASH.”

“Sometimes it’s better not to go fast.

There are beautiful sights to be seen when you’re last.

Shouldn’t it be that you just try your best?

And that’s more important than beating the rest?

Shouldn’t it be looking back at the end

that you judge your own race by the help that you lend?

So, take what’s inside you and make big, bold choices,

And for those who can’t speak for themselves,

use bold voices.

And make friends and love well,

bring art to this place

And make the world better

for the whole human race.”

I welcome all of you to tea.  I hope your week has been as exciting as mine!  I have had tea party every day and better yet it was with my daughter.  Kristina has been home for reading week and we have kept the kettle busy into the wee hours of the night.  So many things to chat about.  Amazing to hear all the things she has learnt on this journy.  I find it so amazing to watch my little girl maturing into a fine young woman.  Back to university tomorrow and the tender care of my dear friend Wanda for a few more weeks.


So I apologize for not making the rounds and to chat you this week, we needed to catch up on two months of tea.  I am always grateful for your visits and your comments.

A Mother and Daughter Tea

The makings of a great occasion

Mother and daughter teacups

A thrifty purchase

Feathers, vintage lace, pearls and china, of course.

A birthday gift from my son and daughter-in-love

Pretty lace

A birthday gift from my Aunt Ruby

many, many years ago.

Cream or sugar??

Reflections

My butterfly is flourishing

Fluttering to take flight

Perspective

Direct your children onto the right path,
and when they are older, they will not leave it.
Proverbs 22:6 (New Living Translation)



~ I encourage you to stop by and savour another cup of tea while you enjoy their pretty vignettes.
