Thanks again for coming to the Tea Party!

It was so kind of all of you to attend our tea party. Wasn't it nice to be pampered and not have to bring a thing except yourselves, hat and joke? I know I had a mahvelous time!

Thank you for coming to the Topsy Turvy Tea!

Dear Good Things Girls,

Thank you for coming to the Topsy Turvy Tea. We had a fantastic time together, all of you brought such great jokes/funny stories to tell. Everyone looked so great in their hats. Cheri's scones were delicious and the dessert was too yummy. Of course, we can never say enough about a hot cup of tea.

Once again, Thank you for coming to Tammi's house on September 2nd at 7:00pm.

Fun, Laughter, Tea and Friends what a GOOD THING!

P.S. Thank you for your RSVP to the Blog.

Jean is a very good thing!

So, I'm here. I'm in Marshfield, Wisconsin, visiting our very good friend -- and always a good thing -- Jean, and her husband, Mark. Their home is lovely and they've shown us a very good time. I'm blessed to have been able to visit. I'll tell more later, but here's a few snapshots from our evening. By the way... I would have called, Mom, but no cell service! (Aaah, but I've hacked on to somebody's unsecured wireless network!)

On the way... the most awesome sight of sunflowers as far as the eyes could see. Breathtaking!

Jean and Mark in front of their lovely home.

Did I mention that in the back yard is a river? And wildlife is everywhere. Jean said this morning she had wild turkeys in the back, and that deer always visit to sample her raspberries. If you look closely in this photo, you will see wildlife of another kind... Buddy, the pug, playing while Jean is being silly!

Tomorrow is breakfast before we head back to Chicago and the Stassens go to work. We had a lovely visit. I'm blessed to have been able to visit such good friends.

Check This Out! Wow!

Did anyone notice the article in today's newspaper about the new program on KNXT, Channel 49 on Monday night at 8:30? It is Lisa Hendey's Catholic Mom. For those of you who are new, Lisa used to be a member of Good Things. She is still a very special friend so if you have some time on Monday night tune in to her program.

Final movie night info

... Mom asked me to post for her. Our RSVP total is this: Carolyn, Lori, Chrissy, Cindy, Carey, Nola Mom and Tracy. I sorta heard from Cheri, who may be bringing Kathy, her sister, but nothing's official. We've not heard from Tami or Elisha at all.

Cindy and Carolyn are meeting at Fuzio at RiverPark at 6. The movie starts at 7 at Edwards. We are seeing Swing Vote. If you aren't joining the cocktail hour, just buy your ticket and meet in the theater. I understand that Nola Mom may be sneaking in some special movie-time treat....

Can't wait to see everybody!
