Wednesday April 7 -- Afternoon Tea -- 3:30pm

Just for the fun of it, wear a hat and gloves
as we raise our teacups in memory of dear Marjory's birthday.

Marjory livened her tea with a splash of "spirits". You may opt for the lemon, or sugar & milk. Or the sugar substitute and fat-free cram. Or non-dairy creamer with non-bee honey. Or organic citrus twist with chai spices. Or just go for the that splash. A good hat hides most sins.

Music, friends, refreshments & mirth
laced in charming Marjory "tidbits"
