Such Plans
Oh, my friends–I had such plans. Plans for granny squares, and luscious desserts and St.Patrick’s Day fun and…and…and…
then this wonderful thing happened.
And now, it’s hard to think of much else other than kissing that sweet baby’s neck and touching the back of his feather-soft hands and playing with those teeny, tiny toes.
Luckily, big sister Miss Chompy is here to keep us on track. She says we will be making a special treat for St. Patrick’s day this very afternoon, and that is that. She also says that it needs to involve lots and lots of marshmallows. That’s very important. Watch for it. Sounds like it’s happening.
Honestly–who could argue with that face?

Teatime Etiquette
When inviting a guest over for “tea,” of course you want everything to be perfect. Pour carefully and try not to spill.
Always serve your guest first so that they know they are getting your full attention.
Don’t be in a hurry now–take your time. Sip slowly and savor the moment.
A little light conversation–perhaps about the weather–will put your guest at ease.
Be sure to offer seconds…or even thirds…if your guest would like a bit more.
Pour yourself another along side them so they feel more comfortable.
If you finish before they do, just be polite and patient, smile…
and go find some cake.
