Tea Party

Some days I wake up and want to be Anne "with an e" Shirley drinking raspberry cordial with Diana. I want to put my hair up in rag curls like Amy March, write a friend a letter on parchment, plan a tea party, and read Jane Austin all day. I would go out in our small garden and pretend I could paint after which I would take a lazy walk down by our creek. I would dream of all sorts of ribbons, lace, and bonnets. Then I would find a large pasture with a beautiful horse and go riding with my Mr. Darcy. Maybe I would wear a dainty dress to a ball and play cards all evening...oh that would be a dream. Yes, on some days I believe that would be just fine. But for now I will be content pretending. Maybe I will plan that tea party with shortbread, apricot jam, and friends. I only wish they were closer!


Ryan: "So I took the Myers Briggs Personality Assessment"
Juliana: "And...?"
Ryan: "I scored the same as Mr. Darcy'
Juliana: "I love you"

maybe we can have a "virtual" tea party. We can all make shortbread with apricot jam, and eat it at the same time, while all dressed up and chat on msn! yeah? like the idea?

I'm glad Ryan is your Mr. Darcy!

Oh, I love tea parties! I did one awhile back for my mom's group and it was so much fun-the little sandwiches are the best!

Love.
