Opening my home for teas and events have been a great source of entertainment in the ‘ears of a little mouse’.  While refilling a tea cup, or clearing dishes, or coming around the corner one can be a part of a conversation without saying a word.

Creating an atmosphere of entertainment to the eye, incorporating history, decor and beauty is my passion and joy.   Private conversations about this or that are always part of the event and sometimes, while serving, I get to be a part.

It was when I was refilling a tea cup, I heard the quiet, shaky voice of one senior saint to another, “Boy, this house must have been ‘sumptin in it’s  day!” To which the other agreed with “a nod of her head and a “hmmm…’ from a mouth full of delectables, as they gazed around the room.

What words of nourishment they were to me that day, because in my new house, which was only 5 years old at the time, I had worked hard to create a feeling of antiquity…

And who would know the authentic better than one antique to another

…a precious moment in time!

Some people think my phonograph is real and want to know if it still works.

Yes.

It works.

The cassette tape slot is on the right side.

Camouflage can be more than a variety of green spots overlaying each other.

Camouflage can be a gathering of objects that relate to each other to create the feeling of an era.

But I can hear “I Love You, Truly” coming out of the megaphone… Complete with the sound of the scratchy record and maybe even a click of a tiny crack in the big black disc. (That was a song sang at my parents wedding in 1934.)

Sometimes camouflage can lead to imagination that can lead to reality.

Would you like to hear another record?

A “Moment in Time”…

Men and women gather to just sing worship, praise, even camp songs.

Gather at 7:00 -9:00 (or so)

No reservation required ~ No Charge

Coffee & Tea provided… what would you like to bring?

I have accomplished something that many people live an entire lifetime and are not able to do.

I have accepted myself.

I am in my 60’s and I have spots, blemishes and wrinkles … And I am okay with that.

I don’t want to spend money on creams that will take away wrinkles for 3 weeks.  I don’t want to wear some kind of contraption that will lift my skin and cheeks up so I look 1 year younger.  I don’t want to change the color of my hair… As if people didn’t know that I am gray!  I don’t want to sit in front of the mirror and make ‘eek’ faces at myself for 15 to 30 minutes to tighten my skin… It’s going to go right back to drooping!

I do use a spot cover sometimes when I am dressing up.  But I am okay with that.

By some terms, I am old.

And I don’t have to wear purple.

When you are old, why NOT have a spot, blemish AND wrinkle!

My goodness, if I don’t have them now, when WILL I have them?

The Proverbs 31 woman has no fear of old age.

That is what I want to do… Is eliminate fear in this moment of time.
