Inspiration

Sarah Jo and Sarah Joy

Below is my newest tea treasure thanks to my "adopted" daughter Sarah. She is the REAL Aunt Sarah, but not my real baby. I was Sarah's mentor during her first year at our school and she's just a bit younger than my REAL daughter, Sarah. Confused? It's OK. That is normal around here most of the time. They are both Sarah J.'s...Sarah Josephine and Sarah Joy (Try saying their names quickly).

Both girls know me so well and it's a fact that all three of us ♥LOVE♥ books!
NEW BOOK:
I may now have another tea party convert to help plan and serve gatherings of friends. Sarah Jo enjoyed reading through the book before she went home yesterday. I believe our first tea together will be a Memorial Tea. Sarah is missing her step mom (think REAL mom), now that she went to be with Jesus. We'll start planning a tea and continue sharing memories and letting Sarah know it's OK to feel the pain because we understand it.

How blessed to have two Sarah J's so special to you. That book looks wonderful, and I'm sure you'll enjoy sharing tea-time with these lovely ladies.
It's God's plan to allow you to share your memories & loss together, lifting each other up.

What a joy to have two beautiful Sarah's in your life! :) (and no, I couldn't say their names fast! lol)
I'm glad you got a chuckle out of our "no juice" communion. (we don't drink alcohol either...I've never even tasted the stuff....don't want to either) :) Anyway, our wedding was crazy, but our life together has been beautiful. :) All 27 years of it!
Hope you had a wonderful Valentines day...I imagine that's a hard day for you, but I hope someone made it special.
Hugs
