Goodness given to me

Lampada lit;

Gives so much hope,

and moves the heart to prayer...

I made this new icon corner

in my living room

when it was so hot last week

and friends and I had a special case to pray for.

(My living room has A/C).

Tonight I had a really good friend over

another who sees me

and understands my various dreams

for future work

as a librarian...

I couldn't resist using my Royal Albert tea cup,

though the rest of the tea setting is

more in the

Delft blue Dutch line

(though it actually is Japanese stoneware).

The very big pillow Dutch windmill case

is a very cool tea cozy

from Holland.

Featured on the small tea plate

(to complete the mismatch of tea ware,

the plate is an older Holly Hobby Birthday plate!)

are the Dutch windmill cookies

another Dutch cookie with

milk Dutch chocolate

on top

and to complete the small plate,

are some

pitted dates and strawberries.

Steeping in the cool tea cozy was

ginger mint tea with lemongrass by tetley.

I did more French today.

The reading comprehension test I am doing well on;

the grammar test I still need a lot of work...

Lord have mercy.
