Peculiar Treasure Girls at Christy's 2013 Birthday

We gathered today to celebrate Christy Miller's birthday with a Garden of my Heart tea party. We all had a delightful time!

Tea party!

We had fun planning the menu for our Garden of the Heart tea.

We had a selection of teapots and tea.

 

Conversation hearts make us think of Christy and Todd!

Flowers, butterflies and robin nests.

Decorations for Christy Garden Tea party

Just a few of our decorations for the party.

The spinning flower was a big hit!

This makes us think of a story from the Glenbrooke series!

Christy party LEFT RIGHT Game

For our little gift exchange, I used this little story, adapted from one of Robin's books, to play a game. Whenever I would say left or right, the girls would have to pass the gift that they had in the appropriate direction. At the end of the story, they got to open the gift they were left with.

Christy’s birthday was RIGHT around the corner so she and Katie LEFT Escondido and headed RIGHT up the road to Newport Beach. On the way they had a discussion about why Katie’s parents thought  it was RIGHT for her to be LEFT behind when Christy went to work as a church camp counselor. Katie certainly didn’t think it was RIGHT! Christy tried to console Katie as she took the RIGHT exit and headed RIGHT toward Bob and Marti’s house. Katie looked RIGHT at her watch and realized they had LEFT a little to early and there was time LEFT before they needed to arrive. Instead of walking RIGHT into the house as they normally would do, Katie pushed on the doorbell to the RIGHT of the door. Suddenly, someone snuck up RIGHT behind Christy and pulled a pillowcase RIGHT over her head! They threw her RIGHT into the back of a truck and turned LEFT out of the drive. Christy could feel the truck turn LEFT around a corner and then anther LEFT and another LEFT before it turned RIGHT again in the drive and pulled to a stop. Christy could feel someone guiding her and she carefully placed her feet RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT and tried not to fall. She felt someone at her LEFT side before suddenly the pillow case was pulled RIGHT off her head again and RIGHT in front of her stood a grinning Todd with a cake full of pink sugar roses all over it! As Chisty looked to the LEFT and the RiGHT, she could see all her friends gathered on the patio to celebrate her birthday. It was just RIGHT!

Regarding the weather and tonight's meeting

 .KSDK Forecast 

Looks like we could have some bad weather tonight.
 
Due to the distance that some have to drive, if there is a severe weather alert anytime after 6:30 tonight, we will cancel the meeting. That would include Severe Thunderstorm and/or Tornado warnings or watches. We don't want to have people out in hail or otherwise bad weather.

But, if it is just raining, and there no alerts, the meeting will still be on. Hope to see you all tonight!
