{Hospitality at Home} ~ A lovely Autumn Tea

We have a lovely tea the other day!

Chicken Salad, bread, scrambled eggs (my friend made them

with only butter, salt, pepper and garlic powder, were lovely),

salad with cranberries and goat cheese,

butter cookies from friend, chocolate chai and lady grey teas.

A new favourite. 

Just right! 

Grandma's dishes.

Apple Cake!

Farmers market salad.

The loveliest cookies.

I will be missing this in the Nativity fast 

but a great dish for later! 

I do hope to bake bread again soon!

We enjoyed some lovely cream with tea.

This week I will be busy making a Thanksgiving dinner

at home with a couple of close friends.

I am thankful for all of these blessings! 

Okay... Thank God

Over all things are OK.

My new job is quite overwhelming; lots to do; I am praying for a part time person to help. I have found work clothes on sale and ironed others. Where I work has a dress code... Not that I did not dress up for work before; I started wearing work clothes when finishing my Honours BA years ago... I find it helpful to have clothes just for work and then, when I am home, to change. I guess in someways it is like acting - different props for different roles.

My work has a paid for by work cookie tin. Chocolate. This is wonderful. Of course now my Dormition fast is about to begin... :)

Read a wonderful line today about someone working in church... that people pray for those who work and those who work work for those who pray... reminded me of the monastery I go to when I am at my parent's home...

so I thank God.
