Twenty nine wonderful guest
graced us with their presence,
as they shared a variety of
delicious pastries, Black tea,
scones with cream and lemon curd,
mini-cupcakes, three types of
sandwiches, and a fresh
springtime fruit garnish.
Each place setting also included
a little box of tea
as a festive party favor.

Lew Ann, (not pictured) your being there
added to the fun and your help
was so appreciated.
And it's always nice
to have a man around the house.
Our other male counterpoint, Dick, worked hard too. He logged many a mile between kitchen and table, setting up, and doing several other jobs saving the girls lots of time and effort. Much to my dismay, he managed to elude the photographer. Sorry, Dick.
My books were available for those yearning for a romantic read. My thanks to the Society for allowing me to tout my wares.
I think it's safe to say,
a good time was had by all,

When it was over,
we were a wee bit exhausted.
But we can hardly wait
to do it again.
Until next time, good bye
from the McCarty/Fickel house.
