Worker in Training

-
We couldn't resist posting a bit on our "worker in training." This past weekend, Grayson our 8 year old, was in charge of collecting the linens and spraying them down. We gave him a bottle of Resolve “Spray -n- Wash” and told him to go over each napkin, spraying down any stains. Being a boy, naturally, he was eager to do anything with a "trigger," it must have felt like a squirt gun to him!

He did a great job... however, he must have been “Trigger-Happy” as he used almost the entire bottle on 40 napkins! ha... In astonishment over the fact that the bottle was nearly empty, I asked him why he used so much??? He responded..."Well, I wanted to do a good job..."

What could one say to a response like that?!

    Don't tell him I said this, but he's adorable. I miss him when he's not greeting us at the door.

"We wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!" Mom was the first to get this set of “Cup of Christmas Tea” teacup and teapot. She received them many years ago by a friend in California, Dayna Esquivel. When we moved out here to the country, Mom and I began enjoying tea together in the afternoons. That Christmas Mom found another set of “Christmas Tea” teacups and teapot and purchased them for me! We always get these teacups out at Christmas and sip tea out of them on a regular basis.
