To celebrate Mother's Day this year, we treated Mom, Marie, and Grandma to a special tea party at the Corner Rose Tea Room. The Corner Rose Tea Room exists to support the efforts of the Russell Home, which cares for brain damaged children and adults. The Russell home has been around for a long time. I remember singing Christmas carols there as a girl scout and mom, Marie, and Grandma have also been involved with the Russell home at one point or another.
Our tea party was a really special treat. The room is so beautifully decorated with hats, antiques, and other girlie nicknacks. Each seat had it's own fancy hat and either a shawl or a fur wrap. We had so much fun playing dress up!
And then is was time for tea! The tea was yummy, especially Ali's, which had about 8 sugar cubes in it.
And the food was great too. We started with chicken salad on croissants and tomato bisque. Then the towers arrived!
The bottom level had different finger sandwiches, the middle level held fruit and different flavored scones, and the top level was dessert! The highlight were the little chocolate mice made from a chocolate covered cherry, Hersey's kiss and almond ears.
It was all delicious and such a treat!
I'm so thankful for this special day with these wonderful women! I love who they are and what they have each meant in my life.
