The Freya is my new profile picture on Facebook..I fecking love it. The picture is of my Aunt Leola who turned 87 Tuesday. and my cousin April's boyfriend. I laughed so hard when I saw this..Talk about a Mutt and Jeff.The Tea Party was a huge success. Kathy says every time I amaze her with how good it all turns out and how much they all enjoyed it. I had 2 different kinds of International Coffees, 6 different kinds of teas, ham salad sandwiches with the crust cut off and egg salad sandwiches, Russian tea cookies, and Suzanne made the most delicious blueberry scones ever. Made home made creme' fresh, and had a lemon curd to go with them. They totally rocked. I think the ladies really enjoyed drinking the coffees and teas out of the cut glass tea cups. Not drinking out of paper or plastic is a big deal to anyone. There was a new lady in there or at least one that I didn't recognize..and when I was putting the tea cookies down she said :"Are you Jackiesue?"..(only very close friends and family call me that) and I said yes. She smiled really big, grabbed my arm and said 'Oh....Your our favorite."...Holy crap...made me weepy. Every one was so complimentary ..I really felt good about it..now I have to come up with something for Jan 26..at 10 a.m. Was going to do a Super Bowl party but they are already having one. They are already going to do my cabbage, pork, sausage and lentil idea for New Years. All the Czech's are excited about the Czech themed New Years Party. I'll have to go up there for that as I will cook the beans at home and then go up there and cook the cabbage and bacon ..thought they'd enjoy the cabbage aroma. The ones that aren't Czech are German so they all love cabbage. I took pictures but not a one of them came out. I'm telling you ..I have the shakiest
hands in West, Texas. Pain in the ass. We were so busy doing the Tea party didn't have time to get someone to actually take the pictures. Need better planning. Marissa came down and helped me and I don't know what I'd have done with out her. She's just the best kid ever...Ok..gotta run..have to make red velvet cup cakes and strawberry cupcakes for Jenny's Christmas party tomorrow..I did come home and take a giant nap today. I think after the 1st of the year I'm giving up baking for a while..my ass is wore out..Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and a cool Yule..

Hmm.. football party fixin'.. I betcha a Colt 45 out of a GLASS bottle for each of 'em would be a hit.
LOVE your Freya profile picture! I can see why She is your favourite Goddess! Had to laugh at the photo of your Aunt Leola with the big tall dude too -- holy moly! Glad your tea party went well -- I know you'll think of something great for the January one too.
I swiped the "Family Outing" cartoon for my annual June Lesbigay blog fest!
I love my goddess picture...but hard to make people take her serious with that kind of publicity..haha
Every time I read about the "Tea Party" I worry that you've become an extremist, then I remember that you are going to an actual tea party.
