Baking with lots of Girls

Last night we had ten young girls and their mothers here for Rosebuds. The subject of the night was baking muffins and quick breads.

The girls were divided into small groups, given instructions, and then allowed to try their hand at blueberry muffins:

Everyone did a great job!

Afterward we enjoyed quick breads (banana, lemon, cranberry) and scones along with fruit and cheese and crackers.

And of course tea. We all sat around little tables in the front room, drinking tea from teacups and enjoying the fellowship.

A delightful evening was had by all!

My table has been lifting my spirits all week. It's covered in a Goodwill find -- a beautiful, flowery, yellow tablecloth, and the flowers mom brought me two weeks ago:

Tea with Janet on Monday was a special highlight:

And now I'm off to finish a few chores and try to get things ready for the Lord's Day. Have a good weekend!
